  "account": "British Prime Minister Andy Burnham emphatically refused to consider any collaboration with the Green Party following its endorsement of the \"Zionism is racism\" motion during its recent annual conference. In response to Prime Minister's Questions in Parliament, Burnham firmly condemned the motion, calling it \"antisemitic\" and stating that his side of the House would \"have nothing to do with it\" in future partnerships. Green Party leader Zack Polanski responded by accusing Labour of performing a \"dangerous and irresponsible blurring\" of challenging Israel and antisemitism, while former Foreign Office adviser Ben Judah praised Burnham's stance. The controversy was sparked when the Greens adopted the motion on October 4, declaring Zionism as Israel's foundational ideology and supporting the establishment of a Palestinian state.",
  "summary": "“It is wrong. It is antisemitic, and this side of the House will have nothing to do with it, and we will always take the right response when it comes to any partnerships we have with other parties.”",
