The Green Party leader faced accusations of hypocrisy after admitting he was not in full compliance with his council tax obligations while living on a houseboat in east London. His hypocrisy was questioned as he campaigns for punitive wealth taxes on high earners.
Zack Polanski faced accusations of hypocrisy today after admitting he failed to pay council tax while living on a houseboat in east London. Despite campaigning for punitive wealth taxes on high earners, Polanski himself had not met his own obligations in full.
The Green leader was registered on the electoral roll at a building in a marina where he kept the narrowboat, had post delivered there, and had laundry collected from the boat. The Olympian had recently advertised for sale his narrowboat for £100,000, but the notice was mysteriously pulled after the council tax arrangements were questioned. Despite the ad referring to the narrowboat as his 'amazing home' over the past three years, Polanski initially maintained he had not lived there permanently.
The British public will question Zack Polanski's hypocrisy and how he could lecture families across the country about paying more when he apparently wouldn't even meet his own obligations in full. Tory chairman Kevin Hollinrake criticised the Green leader, while the Daily Mail established that he owed a total sum of council tax for three years
