Fact Check Debunks Claim About Green Leader Border Statement
Fact Check Debunks Claim About Green Leader Border Statement

A viral social media post falsely claims that Green Party leader Zack Polanski said he would deploy the military to secure UK borders upon election. The post, which has been widely shared, attributes the quote to Polanski without evidence.

Extensive online searches have found no credible source for the statement. In fact, Polanski has expressed opposing views, writing on social media in December 2023 that funds for 'militarisation of the border' should be redirected elsewhere.

The Green Party confirmed the claim is false, stating: 'To the best of our knowledge, this is nonsense.' The party has not issued any further comment on the matter.
