Green party leader also accused of incorrectly stating he was a full member of the National Council of Hypnotherapy
Zack Polanski falsely claimed to be a spokesperson for the British Red Cross while campaigning for the Green party leadership, the charity has said.
The claim was also mentioned on his personal website in 2020, where he said he was “really proud of the work we do”.
The British Red Cross told the Times that Polanski “has not been a spokesperson” for the charity, and said it had raised the issue with the Greens.
Polanski posted several examples on X of him hosting fundraisers for the organisation. “I’ve always admired the work of the British Red Cross. From their work to support refugees to their work supporting people in Gaza and conflict zones around the world,” he wrote.
