Labour has decided to cut political ties and end cooperation with the Green Party in 11 councils across England. The move by Labour's ruling National Executive Committee stems from a dispute involving a motion that stated Zionism is racism.

While ties are being severed in 11 areas, the situation varies across different local authorities. Some reports indicate that agreements with six Green council groups are set to remain in place because these specific groups have condemned the contentious motion.

The decision marks a significant shift in local political arrangements between the two parties. Further developments are expected as local councils adapt to the end of these power-sharing agreements.
