UK Greens Review Social Media Operation After Polanski Controversy

The Green Party of England and Wales has launched a review of its social media operation following a controversial post from its leader that ignited fresh debate over the Roman Polanski affair.

The incident raised questions about how the party communicates online and whether adequate oversight mechanisms are in place for politically sensitive subjects. The Polanski controversy, which had been simmering for weeks, gained renewed attention after the social media post was widely shared and criticised across platforms.

Party officials acknowledged that the post created unnecessary controversy and said the review would examine approval processes and editorial guidelines for the party's digital communications going forward.
