  • Green Party's recent success brings extra scrutiny to leadership

A newly unearthed radio interview shows Zack Polanski stood by his claims about breast enlargement via hypnosis. Six days after a 2013 article was published detailing his work as a hypnotherapist, Polanski spoke to a local radio station about a successful project that grew a woman's breasts by four inches. Polanski claimed he could enlarge women's breasts via hypnosis.

According to Daily Mail - Home, Polanski described increasing anecdotal evidence of breast size growth through his methods, though specific scientific evidence supporting these claims has not been provided. Polanski has repeatedly said he apologized a day later for the 2013 article. Polanski previously said he was misrepresented in a 2013 newspaper article detailing his work as a hypnotherapist.

Increasingly more and more as I work people there's starting to become anecdotal evidence, at least, of a growth in breast size.

On 18 June 2013, Zack Polanski spoke of a successful project with the journalist who wrote the article. Polanski has fumed at the war mongering media in an apparent swipe at coverage of the unearthed radio interview. Polanski suggested he is being ridiculed because of his anti-war stance.

Polanski claimed the reason the media are going after him is because of his opposition to Israel's genocide and Iran war. According to Daily Mail - Home, Polanski described having worked with a journalist client on a successful project that was covered in The Sun last week. Polanski's foreign policy positions have drawn attention alongside the controversy over his hypnosis claims.

They try to ridicule us. They try to silence us. But we keep growing the movement. We oppose war. And we win.

After the US and Israeli launched strikes on Iran, Zack Polanski demanded Britain sever its military ties with America. Polanski has advocated leaving NATO. Polanski suggested, if he became prime minister, he would seek to build a relationship with Russia's Vladimir Putin.

The broader political implications of these demands to sever military ties with the US and leave NATO remain unclear, as does the specific context behind his claims about Israel's genocide and Iran war that he says he opposes. The Greens have seen a surge in support since Zack Polanski was elected their party leader in September. The Greens secured a historic victory over Labour in last month's Gorton and Denton by-election.

Actually there was an article in The Sun last week where a client came to see me who was a journalist and we had a successful project.

Zack Polanski, Green Party leader

The rise in the Green Party's popularity has brought extra scrutiny of Zack Polanski and other senior Green figures, though how this surge has specifically impacted their political influence or policy-making is not yet clear. Labour sources have offered harsh criticism of Polanski's credibility in response to the controversy. According to Daily Mail - Home, a Labour source said Zack Polanski's ego might have got bigger, but nothing else has.

Another Labour source said Zack Polanski's pretence to have been misrepresented over his breast enlargement hypnosis scam was absolute nonsense. According to Daily Mail - Home, a Labour source said Zack Polanski got called out years later and lied about it. A Labour source said you can't trust a word Zack Polanski says and he'll say whatever he thinks you want to hear.

We've done it a couple of times and there seems to be no shift. But, actually, increasingly more and more as I work people there's starting to become anecdotal evidence, at least, of a growth in breast size.

The emergence of the radio interview has raised questions about evidence for Polanski's hypnosis claims and the political fallout from the controversy. Public and media reaction beyond the current coverage remains uncertain as the story develops. Polanski responded to the criticism on social media, saying they try to ridicule and silence him but he keeps growing the movement, opposes war, and wins.

Several unknowns persist in this developing story. Beyond the specific allegations about Israel's genocide and Iran war that Polanski references, it remains unclear what broader implications his foreign policy demands might have for UK security relationships. The public reaction to the unearthed radio interview beyond the current media coverage has not been fully measured, and questions continue about what specific evidence might substantiate claims that hypnosis can physically enlarge women's breasts.

Zack Polanski's ego might have got bigger, but nothing else has.

It's now clear that his pretence to have been misrepresented over his breast enlargement hypnosis scam was absolute nonsense - he got called out years later, and he lied about it.
