A FORMER hypnotherapist who claimed he could enlarge breasts with his mind is the new Green Party leader.
Zack Polanski, 42, will take over the hard-left party from Bristol MP Carla Denyer.
Zack Polanski has been elected leader of the Green Party
Mr Polanski’s win will heap pressure on Sir Keir Starmer, as the self-declared “eco populist” has described being open to an electoral pact with Jeremy Corbyn’s new political movement.
A joint-up hard-left would put a huge dent in Labour’s voter base and offer a big boost to Reform.
Hackney resident Mr Polanski was born in Salford, Greater Manchester, into a Jewish family.
Prior to entering politics he tried his hand at acting, featuring in productions including The Hollow Hotel and Peaky Blinders.
But the firebrand lefty is most famous for his stint as a hypnotherapist, where The Sun revealed in 2013 he claimed to be able to boost cup sizes using the mind alone.
The current London Assembly member wants to move the Greens away from being a single issue party and take a more radical lefty approach on all areas impacting politics.
Mr Polanski wants to model his party as a left-wing version of Reform.
He describes Nigel Farage as a “charlatan” – but also “one of the most effective political operators that we’ve seen”.
