'How do you sleep at night?'

MPs across the Commons denounce Labour's lack of action on Gaza

Displaced Palestinians flee from Khan Younis, Gaza, amid the ongoing Israeli military offensive in the area, May 19, 2025

“HOW do you sleep at night?” Foreign Secretary David Lammy was asked in the Commons today as he continued to evade calls for action on Gaza.

Suspended Labour MP Zarah Sultana told him: “Children are starving. Families have been wiped out. Hospitals destroyed. Yet the government in court claims that there is no evidence Israel targets civilians. 

“The Foreign Secretary is personally responsible and refuses to ban all arms sales to this genocidal state. So like many across Britain, I have to ask the Foreign Secretary, how do you sleep at night?”
