Government appoints pro-Israel hardliners to the House of Lords
King Charles III reading the King's Speech in the House of Lords Chamber during the State Opening of Parliament in the House of Lords at the Palace of Westminster in London, July 17, 2024

THE GOVERNMENT faced fresh criticism today after appointing several pro-Israel hardliners to the House of Lords.

Mike Katz, Luciana Berger, David Evans, Steve McCabe and Phil Wilson – who helped undermine left-wing former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn with anti-semitism allegations – are among 30 new Labour peers.

The appointees mostly comprise a string of ex-MPs and Sir Keir Starmer loyalists, including his former chief of staff Sue Gray.
