Zeteo UK officially launched last week with a sold-out show at the Barbican Centre featuring a a wide-ranging onstage interview with Zack Polanski.
Mehdi and Zeteo UK’s new political editor, Shehab Khan, sat down with the Green Party leader, who spoke out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza:
“I feel, as a Jewish person, a responsibility to say, ‘When I grew up in my teenage years understanding about the Holocaust and the history of the Jewish race, never again means never again – not just for one group of people, but for every single group of people.’”
But Gaza isn’t the only topic Mehdi and Shehab press Polanski on. In this wide-ranging interview – and audience Q&A! – he also talks about:
His Jewish identity and how his views on Israel have evolved
Whether Andy Burnham’s leadership has killed the Green Party’s momentum
The media hit pieces and right-wing propaganda unleashed against him
Whether he’ll resign as party leader if he loses his upcoming parliamentary election
Whether the Green Party will split the vote and lead to the rise of Reform UK
His televised clash with Ed Balls on ‘Good Morning Britain’
Whether the upcoming Israeli elections will bring change
And his plan for addressing the rise of AI and data centres
