As a British Jew, I am deeply concerned by the Green Party's vote to declare Zionism racism. Whatever our political differences, Jewish people must never face prejudice or discrimination. Yesterday, I raised these concerns in Parliament and asked how Jewish communities can be reassured. I welcome the Home Secretary's clear response: every council, regardless of political control, must uphold equality law and protect its residents from discrimination.

The UK Green Party has said it will not engage with The Telegraph after the newspaper published a "racist and antisemitic" cartoon depicting deputy leader Mothin Ali (pictured) preparing to devour the severed head of party leader Zack Polanski. “The Telegraph is pushing Islamophobia and antisemitism to try and divide our movement, but it won’t work," Ali said in a statement shared with The New Arab. "Zack, myself and our entire party are united in support of Palestinians and against the racist drivel the Telegraph spouts.”
