Cllr Matthew Jones

Matthew Jones is an Independent councillor for Kidderminster - St Johns division on Worcestershire County Council, in the West Midlands.

Yes. Cllr Matthew Jones put their name to it on 13 October 2026: "Zionism is not racism. I call on the Green Party to reverse its "Zionism is Racism" motion." In their own words: "Here we go again… Another CrAzY decision from the Green Party. Just when you think political common sense might prevail, along comes another statement that leaves you shaking your head. My Wife’s uncle is Jewish, so this is personal to me and my family. I firmly believe Jewish people deserve the same rights and respect as everyone else. Antisemitism has absolutely no place in our world, regardless of which party it comes from."

On 4 October 2026 the Green Party of England and Wales passed a motion declaring that "Zionism is racism". It brands as racism the belief, held by around nine in ten British Jews, that the Jewish people have the right to a homeland of their own, and binds the party to treat that belief "as any other form of racism". Councillors and MPs of every other party are being asked to say, in public, that Zionism is not racism.

There is no need: Cllr Matthew Jones has already put their name to it. You can ask the other councillors on Worcestershire County Council instead.
