UK Green leader says byelection loss won't cost him leadership

Green Party leader Zack Polanski downplays the significance of the upcoming Holborn and St Pancras byelection, calling it a '50/50' race and asserting his leadership is not contingent on the outcome. This suggests internal party concerns about waning popularity and potential loss of momentum. The statement is notable as it preemptively manages expectations ahead of a vote in a seat previously held by PM Keir Starmer.
