Former Green leader warns some 'hard left' newcomers would be 'more at home' in the Socialist Workers party

Adrian Ramsay, the former Green Party co-leader who voted against last month's "Zionism is racism" conference motion, told the BBC the party faces a "real crossroads" and risks being captured by infiltrators from failed hard-left movements including George Galloway's outfit and Jeremy Corbyn's Your Party.

Drew Creek, the Mayor of Newquay and Cornwall Greens leader, has quit to join the Labour group, saying the motion "crossed a line."

Current leader Zack Polanski, who neither attended nor voted on the motion, hit back, insisting there is "no environmental justice without social, racial and economic justice."

A Green-Labour power-sharing pact on Lewes council has also collapsed over the vote, as the Equality and Human Rights Commission writes to the party demanding more information.
