The Green Party faces a showdown with Lord Mann, the government's independent adviser on antisemitism, over the conduct of councillors newly elected under its banner.

One who shouted Allahu akbar (God is greatest) and described getting a seat on Leeds city council as a "win for the people of Gaza" had previously been involved in the harassment of a Jewish university chaplain driven from his home.

Two who won seats in Bristol had been involved in social media posts which led the city's Labour Party to fear that the Greens were becoming a haven for antisemitism. A Peterborough Green councillor has also been accused by the Jewish press of making insulting anti-Israel comments.
