Labour Gives Greens Until Sunday to Drop 'Zionism Is Racism' Policy

Labour has given Green Party council groups until Sunday to reject their party's new policy describing Zionism as racism, or risk losing power-sharing deals. Some Green groups have already disowned the motion, but others have stayed silent, leaving coalitions in Sheffield, Warwick, Lewes and Stafford uncertain. Labour's ruling national executive committee will then decide whether to end arrangements with groups that refuse to condemn it.
