>”This was because there were overlapping party conferences (it was the Conservative conference that week as well) and the breaking news of the synagogue attack in Manchester.
Zack is both Jewish and from Manchester, which politician is better to interview but him??
Edit: according to the BBC, a Tory peer and a former Tory MP, both non-Jewish, apparently
The BBC had already said that Zack Polanski would have an interview in the coming weeks, and they’d just rescheduled it following the synagogue attack.
On 6th October , from [Byline Times](https://bylinetimes.com/2025/10/06/bbc-laura-kuenssberg-interview-zack-polanski-accused-anti-green-party-bias-farage-reform/) …
> A BBC spokesperson told Byline Times: “Zack Polanski has been interviewed across various BBC News programmes across the course of the Green Party Conference – during which he has been asked for his thoughts relating to the horrific attack at the synagogue in Manchester. **He has been offered the chance to be interviewed on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg in the coming weeks – the invitation remains open**.”
The fact that it has indeed been rescheduled *literally* a few weeks later, *exactly* as the BBC said, is hardly a case of the BBC “caving”.
Let’s always remember who runs the BBC and who their mates are.
It shouldn’t have taken a public outcry for them to show some balance.
Good. Hopefully his insane party and policies are given some proper scrutiny
