Keir Starmer will resist pressure from his MPs to back a ceasefire in Gaza on Wednesday in a move that could trigger one of the most significant rebellions of his leadership. The Labour leader is backing an amendment to the king’s speech that will criticise how Israel has conducted its military campaign. But it will fall short of calling for the ceasefire that nearly a quarter of his parliamentary party wants. Labour officials have told the party’s MPs to vote for their motion but to abstain on one from the Scottish National party calling for an outright ceasefire, making clear that they will sack any frontbencher who rebels by voting for the SNP amendment. Sources say Starmer is braced for at least three and as many as 15 frontbenchers to resign over the issue. www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/nov/14/keir-starmer-faces-labour-rebellion-over-gaza-ceasefire-voteThis couldn't have come at a better time, for Sunak. |

Why are people surprised that some in the Labour party stand up for their principles, we need more people like these.

They have all called for the return of the hostages, although Israel have killed quite a few with their bombardment of Gaza and they also called for the release of the 2500 Palestinian hostage taken since the7th. |

Labour MP's are defying Starmer because they represent Muslim (Hamas supporting) constituencies and they are worried about losing their seats. |
