The leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, Zack Polanski, has said he's not interested in policing the language of protests, after the Prime Minister called for prosecutions for some antisemitic chants during pro-Palestinian marches. The row about whether to ban the demonstrations has grown since two Jewish men were stabbed in Golders Green in north London on Wednesday. Mr Polanski apologised for sharing a critical social media post about the conduct of the officers who tackled the suspect.
