Britain’s equalities watchdog has written to the Green Party about its “Zionism is racism” policy, in a bid to assess its impact.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said it recognised “many Jewish people will be feeling vulnerable following the party’s motion”, which was passed at the Greens’ conference earlier this month.
