Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer delivers a speech on the situation in the Middle East at Chatham House in central London. Picture date: Tuesday October 31, 2023.
LABOUR opposition to its bellicose leader Sir Keir Starmer mounted unabated today, despite his attempt to shuffle away from his earlier backing for Israeli war crimes.
At least 330 local Labour councillors, most of them non-Muslim, have signed a letter to Sir Keir warning that “the intensified human catastrophe in Gaza impacts us all, and the Labour Party’s failure to call for an end to violence is causing hurt in our communities.”
The councillors join the Labour Mayors of Greater London and Greater Manchester, the party’s leader in Scotland, more than a dozen parliamentary front-benchers and over 60 Labour MPs in backing calls for a ceasefire.
