An Israel Shaped POLITICAL BOMBSHELL slams Keir Starmer!

Right, so there’s nothing more cheery and gratifying than seeing Keir Starmer being trapped between a rock and a hard place but here we are, a bit of good news for a change as one of the new intake MPs from July has in no time at all, managed to pull something off that will have Starmer and his rancid Tory tribute act of a Labour Party wriggling like a worm on a hook, but there’s no getting out of this one.
Independent Alliance MP Shockat Adam, the former optician from Leicester, has presented a bill to parliament entitled the ‘Recognition of the State of Palestine Bill’. If this Bill were to pass, the UK would be obligated to immediately recognise the State of Palestine and you can imagine that Keir Starmer wouldn’t have a bar of it, his dictatorial style of leadership would demand his MPs not support such a thing and I’m sure they would duly oblige, likely followed by the Conservatives as well, but that will of course simply expose again and reinforce the now more and more widespread belief that the two main parties are completely out of step with public opinion on the matter of Israel and despite everything we continue to witness in both Gaza and Lebanon now, nothing has actually changed for our government and for so many MPs, who will continue to support Israel come what may. But the damage this is going to do to their reputations, already historically low as they are for Starmer’s Labour, will be nothing less than they deserve either.
Right, so Independent Alliance MP for Leicester South Shockat Adam, is a guy it’s probably fair to say is more well known for how much the media intentionally ignore him, than any other MP, because the Labour MP he beat at the General Election basically has a reserved seat on Good Morning Britain these days, professional loser and still whining about losing yet still held up as some bastion of being on the pulse of UK politics despite never actually having served in any government, Jonathan Ashworth. Where Adam has closely aligned with Jeremy Corbyn and other Independent MPs who also beat off Labour competition and sent other MPs packing too despite Labour’s landslide, collectively they’ve now formalised their alliance – not quite a party, but an alliance – meaning they act as a group on some issues but aren’t obliged to on everything.
Well Adam has now laid down in parliament a Private Members Bill, which is going to be an absolute headache for Keir Starmer, because where her desperately needs a boost in his approval ratings and for those of his party, especially as they continue to degrade ahead of what is expected to be a hugely damaging and harmful austerity budget in just over a weeks time, the ongoing and deeply unpopular insistent and consistent support for the genocidal apartheid state of Israel continues and continues unabated. No red lines for Starmer, he’s been the spot about that before, what would it take for him to stop supporting Israel, stop arming Israel, stop flying intelligence missions from Cyprus for Israel and he won’t answer, in fact where that RAF base such flights are coming from, an ongoing story being pretty much uniquely covered by Declassified UK, he’s banned MPs from asking about it, he’s quite the democrat isn’t he?
At any rate, this Bill of Shockat Adam’s is putting Starmer between a rock and a hard place. His pro Israel donors won’t allow it, the Israel Lobby will be incensed by it, yet the Labour Party manifesto going into the lasty election also made provisions for it, so this being forced by an opposition MP, well the optics are as painful as you can get, not that any of us will have much sympathy for Team Keith.
If this Bill were to pass into law, the UK would be obliged to join the other 146 UN member states who already recognise the state of Palestine and it has received cross party support amongst progressive politicians.
Adam’s Bill of course must be co-sponsored and as you would expect the other 4 members of the Independent Alliance have indeed done so, Jeremy Corbyn, Iqbal Mohammed, Adnan Hussain and Ayoub Khan. Other co-sponsors however include Sian Berry of the Green Party, Brendan O’Hara and Stephen Gethin of the SNP and Liz Saville-Roberts of Plaid Cymru. One Labour MP has co-sponsored it, Kim Johnson and one of the currently sitting Labour MPs who Keir Starmer suspended for voting against keeping kids in poverty, Ian Byrne, has also co-sponsored it, to be honest I don’t think any of those suspended Labour MPs harbour hope really of ever having the Labour whip restored, but quite frankly why would they want it right now, they probably earn more respect and more props amongst their own voters by being suspended, badge of honour as that now seems to be.
Now Private Members Bills like this, brought by a single MP hasn’t a hope really of seeing it pass into law without dramatic cross party consensus, they rarely move beyond second reading, which will be held on the 29th November and I see little hope of this doing that, the Tories certainly won’t back any move to recognise a Palestinian State when they are so Israel centric and Labour under Starmer is even more so, Starmer that Zionist without qualification combined with his absolute demand for loyalty of else amongst his MPs, won’t have any of them backing this Bill without likely repercussions. Given how many of his MPs were chosen deliberately as his sort, the selection processes around the country abused, with many party members speaking out on such matters, not to mention incumbent MPs replaced under nefarious circumstances, many of which I’ve covered previously, they are unlikely to vote against his wishes on anything, not representative of their constituents, or of what is right and just, just whatever keeps them on Starmer’s good side and themselves they hope in a job, though if they look at current polling they should be more worried about being booted for supporting him than standing against him and Israel, being such an emotive issue for so many, forgiveness for voting against this as no doubt will be expected, may be very hard to come by.
But that is exactly the point of this bill. It will produce shocking optics if Labour MPs collectively vote against it, supermajority that they have, really the Tories and what they do are a secondary consideration.
That said however, Labour did have recognition of a Palestinian state in their manifesto, they support it ‘as a contribution to a renewed peace process which results in a two-state solution.’
Now the two state solution only works if you really have an iterant in there being two states and when Labour are only condemning Hamas, supporting Israel and ignoring the tens of thousand of lost innocent lives in Gaza by doing nothing meaningful to help them, weasel words doing nothing for them, Labour are hardly working towards that. As Israel continues to widen and increase it’s atrocities, in no small part thanks to the intelligence gathering and arming of their regime by the West, it’s becoming more and more intolerable to ordinary working class people across the West, that we play a part in keeping that going.
Starmer is damned for another reason here and that’s because he’s allowing the US to dictate our foreign policy. For as much as Labour put in to their manifesto that they would recognise a Palestinian state, though attached plenty of conditions to that, not least of which putting Israel first, the other part of it was the US wouldn’t like it and therefore an indefinite delay was put on that Palestinian state recognition until Joe Biden, or whoever now at this point gives the UK permission! We don’t have leaders we have sheep being led on foreign policy, but it’s not unique to Starmer’s bunch, it’s been the case for years, the special relationship with the US being a very one sided one.
If you really want to sum up exactly how weak our foreign policy is, then simply look at the fact that the Tories were apparently going to sanction two of Israel’s worst far-right ministers in Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, had taken legal advice on this as they got dumped out of power and with that legal advice now being in the hands of David Lammy, he’s not acted on it at all, despite being told sanctioning these two individuals for their abhorrent, racist and dehumanising comments about Palestinians is entirely legal and appropriate . If Labour are too weak even to do that, too craven, too spineless, then there is no chance they’ll recognise a Palestinian State.
Shockat Adam however is nowhere near as lacking in backbone where Israel is concerned. Before he brought this Bill, he said following his election to parliament on the matter of Israel that:
‘Israel has done everything in its capacity to try and destroy any chance of Palestinian statehood - through settlement, land theft and now the wholesale decimation of Gaza.
UK recognition of the Palestinian state will help reinforce the Palestinian people’s inalienable right to self-determination, in a way that cannot be vetoed by Israel.
This would initiate a path to peace for everyone in the region and not be at the expense of any community.’
Until Israel is held to account there can be no progress to stabilise the Middle East. Too many western nations are in hoc to pro Israeli interests and so to effect change we need such people out, people who can bought, who are susceptible to too many free gifts, freebies, which they see no problem with, lobbied with large donations, are not people that will put others first, merely themselves. Starmer has taken more of these than anyone, £107,000 worth of free gifts since becoming Labour leader, we’ve never had a Prime Minister who is as big of a sell out to other interests and not the interests of his own people or the international community as he clearly is and shameless won’t apologise for it, because Keir Starmer never says sorry, never admits fault. Not ever.
This Bill will shame and embarrass his party of that I’m certain and he deserves it.
It will almost certainly add to his party’s woes as by-election after by-election has seen Labour support collapsing across the country. He pulled off a con to get into power, he benefitted heavily from anti Tory sentiment, but he’s being punished for it now and if the recent glut of 17 by-elections the other week are anything to go by, things will get even worse for Starmer before his first set of local elections in May. Get the details of that story in this video recommendation here as your suggested next watch and I’ll hopefully catch you on the next vid. Cheers folks.
