Professor James Orr is understood to be close to JD Vance and influential in Donald Trump’s administration with his right-wing views on abortion and immigration

Reform has been accused of “importing divisive and dangerous ideas” from Maga politics in the US after a right-wing theologian who opposes abortion in all cases joined the party as Nigel Farage’s adviser.

Cambridge University professor James Orr, who heads the Centre for a Better Britain think tank, is an influential figure in Donald Trump’s administration and is admired by vice-president JD Vance.

His arrival comes soon after the defection from the Tories of right-wing MP Danny Kruger, who holds similar views to Professor Orr.

Green Party leader Zack Polanski said: “Reform UK’s decision to welcome James Orr as a senior advisor to Nigel Farage is further evidence that Farage is embracing dangerous and divisive right wing ideology.

“By choosing someone close to JD Vance to be by his side – someone who describes asylum seekers as ‘invaders’ and someone who is anti abortion – he is signalling that Reform UK have nothing to offer but fuel for divisive, inflammatory politics.

“Orr’s Reform linked think tank The Centre for Better Britain has embraced Trumpian policies in cutting state services, reducing NHS funding and blaming migrants.”

Green party in England and Wales has had near-50% rise in membership since Zack Polanski took over last month

The Greens in England and Wales have more than 100,000 members for the first time, the party has announced, a near-50% rise since Zack Polanski took over as leader last month.

It puts them on a potential course to overtake the Conservatives and comes little more than a week after the Greens announced they had moved past the Liberal Democrats in membership numbers, getting to 83,500.

If the same momentum continues, party officials say, they could be on course to become bigger than the Conservatives. Tory party membership figures are not made public, but recent reports say the total is slightly above 120,000.

The Greens’ surge has caused worries among some senior Labour figures, who believe it could take votes and seats from the party in next May’s local elections in England, particularly in some London boroughs.

Polanski has repeatedly set out what he sees as the Greens’ ambition to supplant Labour. In a speech this month to the party’s annual conference, he said that without action Keir Starmer would “hand this country on a plate” to Reform UK.

The BBC’s Institutional Anti-Left Bias

The BBC’s decision to scrap a planned Zack Polanski interview on the channel’s flagship Laura Kuenssberg show has caused fury within the Green Party

The BBC’s decision to cancel a planned conference interview with new Green leader Zack Polanski on the Laura Kuenssberg show on Sunday has caused fury within the party.

As I report today for Byline Times, the decision to scrap the interview came after the show also refused to have him on last month, following his election as party leader, choosing to instead invite Nigel Farage.

Green party sources are particularly furious with the reason they were given for this week’s cancellation, which is that the show needed more time to cover the Manchester synagogue terror attack.

This is particularly galling for Polanski, who is both Jewish and from Manchester, and yet was denied his chance to have his voice heard.

Polanski suggested on social media that the decision to cancel may have been due to his position on Gaza. The BBC declined to comment on their reason, saying only that he had been interviewed elsewhere on the BBC during the Green party conference and would be invited on the show in “the coming weeks”.

However, it is not the first time that the BBC has been accused of ignoring the Greens and others on the left of British politics.

Speaking at the 2025 Green Party Conference, Zack Polanski has called on the government to reverse the proscription of Palestine Action:

Amnesty UK described Palestine Action’s terrorist proscription as “disturbing” and an ‘unprecedented legal overreach’. Following the move, there have been months of protests opposing the Home Office’s decision.

Green Party Leader Zack Polanski discusses the recent Manchester attack at a synagogue and the Labour party’s consequent attacks on the right to protest against Israel’s genocide. The UK Labour government actively supports and is complicit in Israel’s genocide.

Polanski also made a speech at the Green Party of England and Wales conference yesterday, many of the videos are very long.
