LABOUR once again betrayed the people of Gaza today as it allowed petty Commons wrangling to overshadow calls for an immediate ceasefire.
Desperate to avert another rebellion by his MPs demanding an end to Israeli genocide against the Palestinians, party leader Sir Keir Starmer prevailed on the Commons Speaker to tear up the rules to get him off the hook.
Speaker Lindsay Hoyle overruled expert advice to permit a vote on Labour’s own heavily qualified ceasefire amendment, in breach of convention.

Just as German Social Democrats joined the Nazis in singing Deutschland Uber Alles, ANDREW MURRAY observes how Starmer tries to out-Farage Farage with anti-migrant policies — but evidence shows Reform voters come from Tories, not Labour, making this ploy morally bankrupt and politically pointless
