Mark Adderley, husband of Loose Women star Nadia Sawalha, has been suspended from the Green Party after videos surfaced containing comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany, conspiracy theories about Mossad, and inflammatory remarks about Jewish people and political figures.
Nadia Sawalha 's husband, Mark Adderley , a Green Party candidate in the Croydon elections, has been suspended from the party following the emergence of videos containing what have been described as 'antisemitic rants'.
These videos, regularly uploaded to his YouTube channel often featuring his wife, Nadia Sawalha, express highly controversial views on Israel and its government. Adderley repeatedly compared Israel's actions to those of Nazi Germany, specifically referencing the concept of 'Lebensraum' and drawing parallels between historical maps of Hitler's expansionist ambitions and the current policies of Benjamin Netanyahu.
He accused Netanyahu of endangering Jewish people globally and directly blamed him for the Bondi Beach mass shooting, claiming the Israeli Prime Minister was solely responsible for the increased danger faced by Jewish communities. Furthermore, Adderley propagated conspiracy theories, suggesting the involvement of Mossad and the CIA in the assassination attempt on Charlie Kirk and attributing a missile attack on a British base in Cyprus to an 'Israeli false flag' operation.
He also launched personal attacks on political figures, labeling Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood a 'puppet of the Zionist state' for appealing a ruling regarding the proscription of Palestine Action. His rhetoric extended to disparaging remarks about other politicians, demonstrating a pattern of inflammatory and accusatory statements. Adderley vehemently defended his views, claiming he has consistently fought against racism and stood in solidarity with Jewish communities, but his explanations have been widely rejected as insufficient given the severity of his statements.
The Green Party acted swiftly following concerns raised by antisemitism advocacy groups and MP Steve Reed, suspending Adderley on Friday night. This decision has sparked a strong reaction from Adderley, who expressed 'visceral disgust' and accused the party of succumbing to a Labour-led attempt to recreate the 'Corbyn antisemitism psychodrama'. Sawalha publicly denounced her husband's suspension as 'an utter disgrace'.
MP Reed welcomed the suspension, praising Green leader Zack Polanski for taking a 'first step in ridding his party of antisemitism'. The controversy highlights the ongoing challenges political parties face in addressing antisemitism within their ranks and the sensitivity surrounding discussions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The videos in question have since been deleted, but screenshots and reports have circulated widely, fueling public debate and raising questions about the Green Party's vetting process for candidates
