Burnham Rules Out Coalition with Greens After ‘Zionism Is Racism’ Motion
Burnham called the Green motion antisemitic and said he cannot support a partnership while the policy remains in place.
- On Wednesday, Prime Minister Andy Burnham ruled out a partnership with the Green Party, condemning their motion as 'antisemitic' during Prime Minister's Questions and stating Labour will 'have nothing to do with it.'
- At their Brighton conference, Green members voted 1,022 to 813 on October 4 to declare 'Zionism is racism' and back a 'single democratic Palestinian state in all of historic Palestine.'
- Conservative MP Harriett Baldwin challenged Burnham at PMQs, citing Tory leader Kemi Badenoch's decision to rule out deals with Reform UK and demanding similar clarity on the Greens.
- Recent polling puts Labour at 28% and Conservatives at 24%, suggesting the governing party could fall short of a parliamentary majority in any future election.
- Burnham stopped short of ruling out all future coalitions, focusing his rejection specifically on the Green partnership while avoiding commitment to any broader coalition position.
