Labour MP BOASTS about silencing dissenting party voices

In footage from last years Labour Conference, LFI MP Margaret Hodge gleefully talks of members not daring talk about Palestine.
Right, so a piece of video footage has been doing the rounds, part of a longer video from Labour Conference last year, which took place between the 8th and 11th of October last year, so in the immediate days following that Hamas incursion into Israel to seize hostages for exchange deals. So this was well before much of the details were known, a point where much of the world was sympathising with Israel still following that, not yet aware of the atrocities it very much appears that they committed themselves on that night and well before everything that has followed since in Gaza.
The video clip in question features Barking MP Margaret Hodge, a title that works on more than one level in my opinion, grinning through an interview for Times Radio with John Pienaar, whilst stood with her fellow pro Israel pal Luciana Berger, telling a few home truths that perhaps Berger was wishing she wasn't, saying that under Starmer nobody dares speak in favour of Palestine any more. So did she just reveal to all and sundry the real attitude of Starmer's Labour towards Palestine here?
Right, so that was a 30 second or so clip of Times Radio's John Pienaar speaking with Margaret Hodge and accompanied by Luciana Berger at last years Labour Conference, which took place in the immediate days following October 7th, but there was no discussion of condemning Hamas here, this was about support for Palestine and Hodge was absolutely beside herself with joy talking to Pienaar as if he was an old friend instead of a guy looking for a scoop, that Labour members under Keir Starmer didn't dare talk about Palestine anymore, that she thought it would take a decade to achieve this and yet Starmer has done it in three. Well what has he been doing for three years? Purging people like the clappers on often ridiculously weak accusations of being antisemitic, retrospectively proscribing various groups discussing issues the Starmer leadership didn't like, amongst which would have been discussions about the Palestinian occupation, we know how Starmer has managed to turn the tide on pro Palestinian voices, because they've effectively been intimidated into silence if they remain in the Labour Party and many of us left in disgust, for all sorts of reasons frankly, but Palestine and Starmer's pro Israel backing certainly was one of those things. And whilst that has invited accusations of being racist over the years, ridiculous frankly, Israel cannot hide behind Jewish racism to block criticism of it as a state, that ship has now well and truly sailed, given what has happened in Gaza since. However, that was after this video clip and there's no shortage of things to be appalled by here as Little Miss Labour Friend of Israel just kept running her mouth and you could see the blood draining from Luciana Berger's face as she spoke, knowing what she was saying was going to far and willing the ground to either swallow her up, or Hodge in a bid to get her to shut up.
