Campaigners condemn revelation Sir Keir is ‘parroting Washington’s line’ on the Gaza crisis

CAMPAIGNERS have condemned revelations that Labour is taking direction from Washington on the Gaza crisis.

Confirming what has long been obvious, party leader Sir Keir Starmer has told Labour MPs that he is in regular contact with US national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
