Labour's message to UK voters: Israel is more important than your needs

The UK Labour Party has signalled its intention to break local co-operation deals with the Green Party over the latter’s “Zionism is racism” motion, passed at the Greens’ conference last month. Eleven power-sharing agreements with the Greens look set to be terminated, including in Stafford and Warwick councils, where local Green parties have refused to renounce the motion, as demanded by Labour. Hundreds of thousands of people could be affected as their local councils lose working majorities, with the Labour leadership’s diktat forcing its council groups to either find alternative coalition partners or govern as minority administrations.
