Zack Polanski confirms he has never dated Wes Streeting

"Gay Green Party leader Zack Polanski has officially confirmed that he has never dated Labour Health Secretary Wes Streeting. His jest came in response to a post shared by a Green supporter on X on 13 May. Lawyer Dr Iain Darcy remarked that the only thing that would bring Polanski down "is if it is revealed he used to date Wes Streeting", adding that there would be "no coming back from that.""

"Polanski took it upon himself to confirm that he and Streeting, who is also gay, have never been romantically involved. "I've said I've made mistakes and that nobody is perfect, but on this you really don't have to worry!" he responded. Polanski has been making waves in UK politics with the Green Party recently."

"Polanski, who is a staunch trans ally, gave a speech to attendees about TransActual's findings and the wider state of transphobia in the UK, whilst setting out that different communities are stronger together. "I often talk about with the media that I grew up in Section 28, and as a gay man and as a Jewish man I know what it's like to be othered," he said."

""I'm not claiming for a second that I know what it's like to be a trans person, and particularly a trans person of colour and many, many oppressions those people face in society. 'Together, we are so much stronger' "But, I think anyone who's ever felt different, anyone who's ever felt like they don't belong or they've not felt included - not even not felt included but they actually haven't been included - because people or one person decided not to include them, can share that struggle, can empathise, can understand.""

Zack Polanski confirmed he has never dated Labour Health Secretary Wes Streeting, responding to claims and jokes about a possible past relationship. Polanski said there is no need for concern and framed the matter as something that does not require worry. Polanski has recently gained attention in UK politics through the Green Party. In March, he spoke at the launch of TransActual’s report on the state of trans lives in the UK. He described growing up under Section 28 and said he understands being othered as a gay and Jewish man. He emphasized that he does not claim to know what trans people experience, especially trans people of colour, and argued that people who have felt excluded can empathize and understand. He stated that communities are stronger together.
