Streatham MP Bell Ribeiro-Addy - news and discussion

[CH1]

So much for free debate inn the Labour Party - if it ever existed.

I can still see it

I can still see it as well.

I am appalled by the situation unfolding in Israel, Gaza and the Occupied Palestinian territories. I utterly condemn Hamas’s murder and kidnap of Israeli civilians. There can be no justification for the killing of innocent civilians.

Innocent people in Gaza should not be made to pay for Hamas’s crimes. The decision to cut off energy, water and food to the entire civilian population, and today’s order for 1.1 million people to leave their homes represent collective punishment.

Given Britain’s distinct role in creating this cycle of killing and bloodshed in the Middle East, our country has a special responsibility to push for peace in the region, not to fuel war.

Our immediate priorities must be establishing a ceasefire, securing the release of Israeli hostages and allowing humanitarian access to food, water, energy and medicines for Gaza. Our long-term priorities must be ensuring that the fundamental rights of Israelis and Palestinians are upheld. A just and lasting peace can only be achieved by upholding international law.

I wish she was the Labour leader.

Me too. Make her leader of the Labour Party. I'm all for it. The end result would be great for the country.

 

[Gramsci]

good on her

 

[Gramsci]

Unlike Helen Hayes who says she supports a ceasefire but didnt vote for it.

( she would have lost her job in Cabinet)

 

[Gramsci]

or the other local MP

I dont understand what was so divisive about it. I know they were told to say this but it does not make sense to me

 

[Gramsci]

A life on backbenches for Bell then.

might have shown they are different from the tories?

 

[Gramsci]

Oh I suppose that could be the line.

At this time we must all work together to defeat terrorism and so support the government. The SNP amendment is encouraging division in this country. We must all work to reduce community tensions not increase them. Israel has a right to defend itself and we must not have a ceasefire that allows Hamas to re arm. etc

Perhaps that is the line?

Is Starmer beholden to one of his paymasters? I wasn't sure it wasn't just a conspiriloon antisemitic jibe but its in the register of members interests and wikipedia is usually fair enough
