By deliberately derailing the Gaza vote, Starmer shames democracy and betrays humanity
WEDNESDAY was a day of shame for the House of Commons. Few powers around the world are more important in supporting Israel’s genocidal attack on the Palestinians of Gaza than Britain.

The person most responsible for this is Keir Starmer.
