Labour's Shanks, similarly to Sir Kier, wants to keep sending Israel weapons and opposes this diplomatic pressure on Israel to stop it's brutality.

  1. Of course he does. He’s there to look presentable for the frothing Islamophobes.

  2. Yeah, because we know Labour friends of Isreal has massive voice in Labour party. Shanks will fully support his party in England at the expense of Scotland. Absolutely vile to keep supporting this.

  3. British Labour MP in Scotland does exactly as he is fucking well told?

    *Mild shock*

  5. British Labour. No such thing as the Scottish Labour party registered as a political party. Simply does not exist. It is the labour party and they are a UK party committed to the territorial integrity of the UK but they swear they’re not British nationalists.

  6. An old industry saying.

    The tories look you in the eye, and with a smile, stab you in the heart.

    Labour on the campaign soapbox will champion yer voice, go down south to let you be heard, ” vote for me comrades, I’ll give them what for ”

    But as soon as they are comfy on those green benches…with a smile it’s the blade in the back through yer heart.

    So there ye go Rutherglen. Want weans to stop being murdered by British Arms sales ? You and the rest of Scotland says no, the branch office says no, but yer class champion and representation is safely sat on his green bench, and he says ” fuck you what you think or want, my representation stops at the border you mugs .”

  7. I don’t think it’s good that we’re still selling weapons to a state when there has been, for months, plausible evidence [it is committing genocide](https://www.npr.org/2024/01/26/1227078791/icj-israel-genocide-gaza-palestinians-south-africa), [ignoring international rulings to allow humanitarian aid](https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/02/26/israel-not-complying-world-court-order-genocide-case#), [killing humanitarian aid workers](https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-aid-workers-killed-2d08786a9839dfc402632c7ca745acca), [killing and detaining journalists](https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/02/gaza-un-experts-condemn-killing-and-silencing-journalists), [blowing up hospitals](https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2024/01/middleeast/gaza-hospitals-destruction-investigation-intl-cmd/), [universities](https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/03/07/all-12-universities-in-gaza-have-been-the-target-of-israeli-attacks-it-s-a-war-against-education_6592965_4.html), and on and on and on.

  9. If we get to the stage where David Cameron is more willing to consider restricting arms exports than Michael Shanks, I don’t know where we’ll be.

    The STUC will be calling for a halt to it this week, most likely. Up to him to then decide which side he’s on.

  11. Michael Shanks is a member of both Labour Friends of Israel and Labour Friends of Palestine.

    In other words he’s a duplicitous wankstain with no principles whatsoever.

  12. Selling the bombs isreal used to kill British aid workers
    What a guy
