Cllr Heidi Wildhirt

Heidi Wildhirt is a Reform UK councillor for Cleadon Park & Harton Moor ward on South Tyneside Council, in the North East.

Yes. Cllr Heidi Wildhirt 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: "It is frightening to see Jewish people’s right to national self determination questioned and dismissed, less than a century after the Holocaust. Jewish people, like every people, deserve the same right to live in safety and determine their future. I find it deeply troubling that any political party should have to debate a motion that treats Zionism as inherently racist. I cannot understand how anyone could remain a member, let alone represent, a party that gives such a motion legitimacy. I stand firmly against antisemitism and in support of Jewish people’s right to a homeland."

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 Heidi Wildhirt has already put their name to it. You can ask the other councillors on South Tyneside Council instead.
