Greens ‘have welcomed’ people expelled by Labour for antisemitism, Steve Reed claims

Housing secretary also targets Reform as May elections loom, saying Farage more interested in Trump than own constituency

The Greens have welcomed activists kicked out of Labour for antisemitic views and people should be very careful" who they vote for next month, one of Keir Starmer's most senior ministers has said in a notable stepping-up of attacks on Zack Polanski's party.

In a double-pronged attack on the two parties expected to make big gains in the elections on 7 May, Steve Reed also accused Nigel Farage of being more interested in talking to Donald Trump then representing his Clacton constituency.
