AN MP suspended from Labour over comments at a pro-Palestine rally has threatened to sue a Tory MP over 'highly defamatory' accusations.
Middlesbrough MP Andy McDonald said he was “not prepared to stand by” while Chris Clarkson or others “peddle the lie” that he sought to justify Hamas’s actions on October 7.
McDonald, who is sitting as an independent MP while an investigation takes place, said his reference to the phrase was part of a “heartfelt plea” for peace in the region. “I am not prepared to stand by, while an MP or others peddle the lie that I have sought to justify the actions of Hamas on October 7, 2023, including the awful murder of 1400 people in Israel.
McDonald has said he would fully co-operate with the investigation into his suspension and trusted “that the whip will be restored”.MP Paul Bristow was sacked from his job as a ministerial aide at the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology after urging Rishi Sunak to back a full ceasefire.
It puts him at odds with many prominent Labour figures, including Scottish Labour chief Anas Sarwar, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham. Former Scottish Labour leaderMembers of his frontbench team have also broke ranks to call for a ceasefire and analysis by The Spectator showed a third of Labour MPs backed that position over Starmer's.
