We are going to be more of an electoral threat to Labour than we ever have in our history.

No one will be excluded in the Green Party based on faith and religion

I believe it is not our role to decide

I believe that is clearly racist

Of course I can carry on

I think it's an imperfect motion, there's parts I disagree with and parts I agree with.

I've repeated many times that I want to see equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians - at the moment Palestinians don't have equal rights so I think I'm answering your question really clearly.

Yes, I've taken a loss tonight but our movement is so much bigger than one election or one motion.

Of course I can carry on as leader of the Green Party.

We will always stand with … everyone who is under attack.

Now I get asked, isn’t your job done?

Through the Green party’s unified stance and dedicated pressure, we have begun to shift this government away from its complicity with the Israeli government’s atrocities in Gaza.

It’s our role as a movement for justice to protect both the rights of Palestinians and our Jewish communities here in the UK.

Antisemitism and criticism of the Israeli state are, and must always be, completely distinct.

As leader I will not accept any exclusion, or refusal to engage with anyone, because of the religious or communal body they are part of.

We will continue to call out the heinous crimes of the Netanyahu government.

There is “no conflict between supporting the rights of Palestinians and the rights of Jewish people”

What I want to see is equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians.

I believe that the displacement and genocide of the Palestinian people is clearly racism.

I think that is clearly racism.

I am calling for an amendment to the motion, which calls for one Palestinian state, because what I want to see is equal rights for Israelis and Palestinians.

What my focus is on, though, is what materially can we do to make a difference, and that’s stop selling arms to Israel, stop sharing intelligence, and boycott, divestment, sanctions.

I think it’s about how you define Zionism, and if your Zionism is the displacement of the Palestinian people, then that’s clearly racist, and I say that as a Jewish leader of a political party.

Well, in the motion, it is defined as the displacement and genocide of the Palestinian people. I think that is clearly racism.

The last year has shown that the Green Party can transform the political landscape – now our task is to step up our wins and keep the pressure on this government to secure genuine change in people’s everyday lives.
