Labour has said it could end local power-sharing arrangements with Green councillors who do not disown the party’s new stance on Zionism.
The position could affect coalitions between Labour and Green representatives in local government. Labour has not been identified as setting out any separate arrangements in the supplied material, and no specific councils or councillors have been named.
The dispute centres on Labour’s new position on Zionism and the response expected from councillors involved in local coalitions. Under the approach described, existing power-sharing deals could be brought to an end where Green councillors do not reject that stance.
The supplied information does not give details of the policy itself, the number of coalitions involved or a timetable for any changes. The latest position is that Labour has warned such arrangements may end if the stated condition is not met.
