Green Party members to vote on declaring Zionism a form of racism at conference
The Green Party’s annual conference has begun in the seaside town of Brighton, just two days after the ruling Labour Party’s conference ended.
Party members are gearing up to vote on an unprecedented motion to declare Zionism a form of racism.
The vote is expected to take place on Sunday, according to party insiders. If the motion passes, it will become official policy and the Greens will become the first major party in the country to recognise Zionism as racism.

Time for me to join the Green Party. Labour is long dead and Your Party seems dormant
Welcome to the team!
It's absolutely racism, but I fail to see how defining a word is something that needs a vote within a political party. It sounds like a great way to sew division in a time when having everyone just agree to oppose genocide is hard enough.
Gives them something to do
we are past peak green already
back to shadows with this shitshow
The greens here reminding everyone that they can do performative politics whenever they want because they will never get into power.
If they're so powerless and irrelevant, why are you spending time commenting on their policy votes?
Labour doing performative politics while in power.
apparently uk has so few problems the party for palestine can stay focused on the middle east
i fully expect an underwhelming result at the next election for them
Genocide is bad and we shouldn't endorse it as a civilized society. It's not that complicated.
One might perchance consider Reform a bigger threat to the UK than a foreign war the UK isn't involved in
Labour and the Conservatives are the friends of israel so it's only fair
