Labour has ended cooperation with the Green Party in 11 local councils in England, including Sheffield, Warwick and Lewes, after Green Party members backed a motion titled “Zionism is racism” at their conference. Labour said coalitions and other deals with Greens will stop in councils where Greens refused to condemn the motion, which also called for a single Palestinian state in place of Israel. Labour chair Bridget Phillipson said the party cannot work with any party that supports the policy at any level of government. Labour said six Green council groups had condemned the motion, so their deals remain in place. The motion has been condemned by Jewish groups and opposition parties, according to the coverage.
