A closer look at “Labour Orders Councils to Cut Ties with Greens Over 'Zionism is Racism' Policy”, exactly as the source publishes it. Labour Party chair Bridget Phillipson has instructed Labour council groups to review and potentially terminate power-sharing agreements with Green Party councillors who fail to condemn the Greens' new 'Zionism is racism' policy. The policy, passed at the Green Party conference, has been condemned as antisemitic by figures including Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham. Phillipson's directive targets numerous councils across England and Wales where Labour shares power with the Greens, including Sheffield, Coventry, and Warwick, as well as several Lib Dem-led coalitions with Green involvement.
The move signals Labour's firm stance against what it views as antisemitism within political alliances, potentially reshaping local governance in affected areas. The Green Party has defended the motion as a critique of Israeli state policy, not Jewish people, but Labour's leadership insists that any partnership requires explicit rejection of the policy.
