And with Stormer's government continuing to flounder, the stage is now wide open for a new political act.

And last week, we looked at the rise of reform under Nigel Farage.

But on the other side of the UK political spectrum, the Green Party are experiencing quite a significant rise in support.

So talk to me a little bit about Zach Polenski's life before he entered politics.

I have to ask you about back in 2013, before Polanski's time as a politician.

This was during his time as a Harley Street hypnotherapist.

Talk to me a little bit about that.

Those hypnotherapy skills could come in use for the upcoming elections, Enda.

It's interesting to see this huge growth in support for the Green Party in the UK because back at home in 2024, they suffered a brutal general election.

I think they lost all but one of their TDs.

So across the pond, what's enticing UK voters to go green?

I suppose Starmer is often criticised for his apparent lack of charisma, his lack of warmth, that lack of engagement.

But I suppose you're describing somebody who's full of personality.

Is that really what voters are looking for in their leadership?

Reforms seem to be doing really well outside of London.

The Greens seem to be doing really well within London.

Can they extend that success countrywide, do you think, or is it very much centred on London?

So with the local elections coming up then in two weeks, how important are they for Starmer and Polanski?

Pivotal for Starmer, absolutely.

Enda Brady, thank you very much.
