Labour have tabled an amendment to the Kings speech using the terms murder when it comes to Israeli's and deaths when it comes to Palestinians . I was going to say something about 'rules based international order' but its probably worthy of a far bigger discussion.

1 shadow cabinet member resigned, Afzal Khan, with only two more expected to join him. Which is pretty fucking pathetic.

 

[brogdale]

I guess we’re about to see what’s left of the party IYSWIM

 

[belboid]

125 votes for the motion

and two more resignations, Paula Barker wasn't on the list of three from earlier.

She can just piss off. She ought to resign, if there is no point in voting in Parliament,

 

[littlebabyjesus]

56 Labour MPs voted for the amendment. So a little over a quarter of the parliamentary party. There are about 140 wankers.

Eight shadow ministers quit or face sack from Starmer's frontbench over Labour's opposition to Gaza ceasefire
Labour leader Keir Starmer has seen a big rebellion of eight shadow ministers – including Jess Phillips – from a total of 56 Labour MPs who voted with the SNP on an amendment to the king’s speech calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

The rebels on the front bench included Phillips, Rachel Hopkins, Sarah Owen, Afzal Khan, Paula Barker, Naz Shah, Yasmin Quereshi and Andy Slaughter.

The 56 Labour MPs rejected Starmer’s position, which calls for a “credible, diplomatic and political process” to deliver a peaceful two-state solution in between Israel and Palestine. The SNP motion called for an immediate ceasefire.

The rebellion signals how the divisions over views on the Israel-Hamas conflict have the potential to tear Labour apart – a point of contention that Starmer will face tough questions about as the country gears up for a general election in the next year.

Three Labour frontbenchers resigned in the minutes before the vote, after Starmer made clear that those voting for the ceasefire amendment would be sacked

Like either side would have taken any notice of the result.

Yeah, I know. The lack of humanity is just horrific though.

 

[savoloysam]

Just when the next election should be an open goal. The partially decent ones jump or will be pushed overboard.

Keep digging that hole, kier you big bell end

Doesn't she have a sizable muslim voter base? I seem to recall an acrimonious election campaign (thanks in part to Galloway)

Fucking Starmer, what a clown

Seems that way. She said "I voted with my constituents, my head and my heart".
Can't wait for Labour canvassers to come round our house asking to vote for Helen Hayes.

'Us Little People'. He's such a prick.

The size of his forehead alone precludes him from being counted as little

Shadow cabinet reshuffle then - Blair to come back as shadow foreign secretary?

Where's Guy Fawkes when you need him?

 

[ruffneck23]

I'm no fan of Phillips. but fair play.

 

[Bingoman]

No, is that relevant?

If she was a member at the time of Starmer frontbench then she could of been sacked if she voted against her party but as she didn't she would of been safe from the sack

 

[ruffneck23]

I really hope he is done now.

And?

 

[Larry O'Hara]

Amazing to see labour tearing themselves up yet the other parties are silent. Where are the tories calling for ceasefire

Crispin Black is on the naughty step.

 

[Raheem]

The government had planned to deport 24,000 people, which the court papers apparently said would cost £175,000 per person, or £4.2 billion in total.

Why not send them to Eton so they can provide an alternative to our floundering political class?

Shadow Minister for Genocide: like it!
