## Key points

- Sheffield Labour and Greens are expected to keep sharing power.
- Talks over a row about Zionism delayed the council meeting.
- Labour’s local leader says a joint statement is due soon.

## Summary

Labour and the Green Party in Sheffield appear set to continue their power-sharing arrangement, despite Labour saying recently that trust between the parties had broken down. Labour council leader Fran Belbin said a joint statement would be issued in the coming days, after talks delayed a full council meeting and helped ease a row over Zionism.

The dispute followed Labour nationally urging 11 councils, including Sheffield, to end power-sharing with the Greens. The arrangement began after May’s local elections left no party in overall control. About 50 people, chiefly pro-Palestinian supporters, protested outside the town hall; Liberal Democrat group leader Martin Smith called Labour’s decision an “extraordinary U-turn”.
