Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has told ITV News' Political Editor, Robert Peston she thinks the Green Party is "full of a lot of people who are antisemites and are quite frankly not okay". Badenoch said she was "appalled" by a vote at the Green Party conference over the weekend, in which members defined Zionism as racism. The leader of the opposition said she was "embarrassed that a political party in this country would actually do something like that". Green Party leader Zack Polanski, who has since been banned from entering Israel, did not take part in a vote on the controversial motion, having left the conference after his speech on Friday to campaign in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election being held on Thursday. The Green Party has been approached for a response to Badenoch's comments. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lan
