- Green Party leader Zack Polanski has apologised after facing criticism from Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley for sharing a social media post regarding the police response to the Golders Green terror attack.
- Sir Mark Rowley publicly criticised Mr Polanski's post, labelling it as 'inaccurate and misguided' and accusing him of 'undermining' the police force.
- The retweeted post alleged that Met officers had 'repeatedly and violently kicked a mentally ill man in the head' after he was already incapacitated by a taser during the incident.
- Mr Polanski stated he shared the tweet 'in haste' and acknowledged that social media was not the appropriate channel for discussing police responses to emergency situations.
- Following the controversy, which included backlash from within his own party, Mr Polanski has invited Sir Mark Rowley to meet and discuss the police response and wider issues.
