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.

Sir Keir and shadow foreign secretary David Lammy have been closely shadowing US policy throughout the war, including in failing to call for a ceasefire despite the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians.
