51 years before the Green Party passed its 'Zionism is Racism' motion, the UN adopted Resolution 3379, which also defined Zionism as racism. But the British establishment, alongside the US, successfully lobbied to overturn what was, and still is, an axiomatically true statement.

A word of warning to anyone booking a hotel. When I attended the Green Party conference last weekend I stayed at the Leonardo Hotel in Brighton, only to discover after the first night that the parent company of Leonardo hotels is based in Israel! Don't make the mistake I did.

The Green Party and Zack Polanski must NOT make the mistake that Jeremy Corbyn made when the Labour Party was targeted by preposterous attacks like this. You can't appease bad-faith actors. So my advice is, get on the front foot and face down these bad-faith actors.

That's a diversion, Peter. He needs to make good on his commitment to end 40 years of neoliberalism, rather than tinkering around at the edges, which is all we've seen from him so far, including his conference speech.

The wrong turn wasn't Brexit, it was continuing to implement a neoliberal economic agenda. The EU is a neoliberal club that prioritises privatisation and restricts the ability of govts to intervene in the economy.
