SOCIALIST Emma Dent Coad today warned the main political parties have “lost their humanity,” with the war in Gaza a “very personal” issue for voters in her west London constituency.

The former Labour MP and now independent candidate for Kensington and Bayswater said the majority of its constituents were not white British and that Palestine was coming up”pretty much everywhere” she canvasses.

She said: “From the Palestine families that I know, 300 local people have lost family members in the war. That’s really shocking.”
