Labour to end local coalitions with Greens who do not condemn the 'Zionism is racism' policy

Summary

Prime Minister Andy Burnham called on Polanski to reverse the Green Party's motion on Zionism, BBC News reported, and described the 'Zionism is racism' motion as 'a completely wrong decision', the Manchester Evening News reported. On Wednesday 14 October, Andy Burnham condemned the motion 'unequivocally' and ruled out supporting a 'partnership' with the Greens while it remained in place, the Evening Standard and The Independent reported. On Thursday 15 October, Labour said it would end local coalitions with Greens who do not condemn the Zionism policy, an ultimatum that will impact 17 councils across England and one in Wales, later versions saying 18 in England, the Evening Standard and The Independent reported, The Independent noting that it had been unclear whether Burnham's ruling out of a power-sharing deal would extend to local councils. Labour told its councillors to shred any coalition deals with the Greens if they do not disavow the new Zionism policy, according to Metro UK, and BBC News said Labour will end power-sharing deals with councillors that do not disown the party's new stance.
