flag Green Party leader Zack Polanski proposed major economic reforms, including energy caps, rent controls, student debt cancellation, and wealth taxes, blaming Brexit and austerity for economic decline.

flag Green Party leader Zack Polanski unveiled a sweeping economic plan in a London speech, calling for capping energy bills with an £8.4bn government fund, funded by a strengthened windfall tax on energy firms and wealth taxes on fortunes over £10m and £1bn. flag He pledged to abolish the Right to Buy policy, renationalize water, implement rent controls, and wipe out student debt, blaming Brexit, austerity, and privatization for a 6%–8% smaller economy. flag Polanski criticized the current system as “rip-off Britain,” advocating for a shift from GDP growth to wellbeing, with reforms to tax policy, public investment, and fiscal rules. flag His vision, dubbed “Zackonomics,” aims to end the “bond-market doom-loop” and prioritize the “caring majority,” though details on financing and implementation remain sparse.
