Zack Polanski disputes claim James O’Brien invited him on

James O’Brien wrote a book titled How to be Right in a World Gone Wrong. O’Brien also regularly makes laughable statements like the following:

'no one believes keir starmer is a morally corrupt serial liar'

On 25 February, O’Brien spoke about Green Party leader Zack Polanski, prompting the following:

I'm pretty sure I've done more interviews and podcasts than any other party leader in the first 6 months.

We hadn't spotted an invitation, @mrjamesob – but happy to chase it up and look forward to chatting! https://t.co/I6b84Dj4Rd

Zack Polanski — ‘Happy to chase up’

In the video above, O’Brien says:

Manisha says: “it’s taken a very charismatic leader to make the Greens stand out”.

All right, this is something I should probably apologise for, given that I do this stuff for a living. I haven’t really got a mental kind of picture yet of Zach Polanski.

We’ve invited him onto the podcast. I’m sure he’ll come on at the first opportunity.

But I haven’t got… I can’t picture him smashing it in a TV studio. The clips… It hasn’t filtered through my algorithms yet. I don’t have enough evidence or enough material to agree or disagree with Manisha.

According to Polanski, this ‘invite’ got lost in the post. Hopefully they can get that sorted pronto.
