Keir Starmer under huge pressure from shadow ministers over Israel-Gaza policy!

7 months ago

Sir Keir Starmer faces a growing revolt over his Israel policy from shadow ministers after accepting he is unable to fire rebel frontbenchers. At least 11 members of Sir Keir’s team, and dozens of other Labour MPs, have called for a ceasefire in Gaza as Israel seeks to destroy Hamas. The Leader of the Opposition has backed a time-limited pause to the fighting but refuses to endorse a full ceasefire, arguing that it would benefit the terror group by allowing it to regroup. Sir Keir has faced a growing rebellion with even usually loyal shadow ministers breaking ranks to demand a change of policy.
Members of his inner circle have been lobbying the rebels to persuade them not to criticise the leader directly and have succeeded in limiting the scale of the backlash, according to party sources. But he has been forced to conclude that it is not possible to stop his team from speaking out entirely given the importance that many in Labour attach to their support of the Palestinian cause. A senior party official said: “We understand where people are, and why they have that position given the constituencies they represent, but the party line is clear and won’t move.”
