The Greens have formally adopted a policy which equates Zionism with racism, a move that will dismay the bulk of the party’s MPs and that has alarmed some Jewish members.

A vote at the party’s annual conference on Brighton about whether to back a motion which calls for Zionism, the movement for a Jewish state, to be “treated as any other form of racism”, saw it passed by 1,022 votes to 813.
