A Labour source said on the new left party that the electorate has “twice given its verdict on a Corbyn-led party in the 2017 and 2019 elections"
The source didn't mention the fact that Labour got more votes in both those general elections than they did under Starmer in 2024

We’ve turned their street into Jabaliya camp in Gaza. A genocide is happening, but the Labour government is supplying weapons, intelligence and diplomatic cover to the perpetrator. Protesting this is not terrorism.

If passed, this decision would have serious consequences for protest everywhere.

Starmer says he wants to de-escalate but is sending military - the very opposite of what he is calling for.
And every moment - genocide is being committed in Gaza. There must be an independent inquiry and they must all be held accountable.
