  1. >Starmer was reported to the committee by Neale Hanvey, an **Alba Party MP** and the party’s Westminster leader, who said it was “essential to establish if Starmer coerced the Speaker” into accepting a Labour amendment on the motion.

  2. Strangely, we don’t hear from Jess Phillips anymore in the news, particularly given this issue. She resigned from the front bench over Starmer’s entire approach to Gaza and has never been a shy wallflower. She would have certainly been among the Labour MPs that would have defied the party to support the SNP’s motion. I kind of wonder if she’s been a background source on what’s going on in the party or just not being approached on this one.

    edit: “motion” not “resolution.”

  3. Surely they can just publish the minutes to clear this up.

  4. He’s boring ineffectual and weak but also intimidating. Turning into quite the Schrodinger’s leader of the opposition

  5. Yeah, lucky the Tories have never done anything like this over the last 14 years.

  6. Nothing will happen.

    ‘When you’re famous you can grab the pussy Speaker by the balls and tell him what to do. And he’ll let you’ 🙂

  7. The National need to make up their mind. Is Starmer weak and indecisive? Or does he intimidate parliament? Is he soft on Israel, or did he cruelly coerce the speaker into covering a Labour motion which condemned Israel?

    Next week the National will copy&paste some other Alba Party claim that Starmer is something totally different and contradictory, and their readers will believe it.

  8. I wouldn’t be surprised if he did. He is doing everything he can to ensue the Tories win the next election.

  9. The Lukid party needs to ditch Starmer and replace him with a Zionist optical coconut like the Cuntservatives.

    In our thousands in our millions we are all fucked.

  10. >He added that the focus must be put back on “the important issue of ending the killing in Gaza” and ensuring an immediate ceasefire is established. 

    Lmao aye because calling for an investigation into hearsay claims is really the way to do that. What a chancer.

  11. So, in essence, one politician brought political pressure to bear on another politician to influence a political decision that has no real world impact and is relevent only to politicians?

    And more pertinantly 99.9% of the population wouldn’t know whether this was in-line with or against patlimentary conventions (because there are no written rules)

    Talk about storm in a (HoC) Teacup.

  12. I hope my MP used his finest crayons when submitting this to the committee.
