"Sir Keir Starmer has been blasted for making "cheap political smears" against the Green Party, claiming that if they took power, the "lamps would go out across Europe once again." Green Party leader Zack Polanski hit back, accusing Starmer of "fear-mongering while ignoring the real problems" facing Brits. "Wages are stuck, rents are soaring, bills are through the roof - and Starmer is obsessed with scaring people about the lights going out," Polanski said. "People want solutions, not cheap political attacks.""
"He hit back at Starmer's claim that the Greens aren't committed to NATO: "We're signed up. An attack on one is an attack on all. I would absolutely defend our allies," Polanski said. The row escalated as Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper weighed in, slamming both the Greens and Nigel Farage's Reform UK for "undermining NATO" and ignoring Russian threats. She accused Reform UK of failing to investigate Russia n interference in their own party, despite a Welsh leader being convicted of links. "National security comes first," Cooper said. "Partnerships abroad make us stronger at home. Starmer is raising the alarm for a reason - ignoring Russia 's threat is reckless.""
Sir Keir Starmer accused the Green Party of posing an energy-security risk, warning that lamps could go out across Europe if they took power. Green leader Zack Polanski rejected the accusation as fear-mongering and urged focus on wages, rents, and rising bills. Polanski warned the Prime Minister lacks investment in cybersecurity and pandemic preparedness and affirmed the Greens' commitment to NATO. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper accused the Greens and Reform UK of undermining NATO and ignoring Russian threats, and accused Reform UK of failing to investigate Russian interference in their party. Critics say political attacks risk distracting from real security challenges and voters are unimpressed.
