Sir Keir Starmer today defied growing calls from Labour MPs for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. The Labour leader is facing one of the biggest crises of his leadership over the conflict in Gaza.
Labour's crisis over Gaza dramatically deepened tonight amid plans by Left-wing MPs to defy Sir Keir Starmer and force a Commons vote on a ceasefire in Gaza.
Shadow Education Minister Matt Western yesterday became the 18th Party frontbencher to go against Sir Keir's position and call for a ceasefire to stave off 'an unprecedented humanitarian disaster' in Gaza. Now rebel backbenchers are threatening to expose Labour's divisions even further by pushing for a Commons vote when MPs return to Westminster this week.
Westminster insiders said that would be difficult in the coming as MPs debate the King's Speech programme of new government legislation. The row comes amid reports of several Shadow Ministers with big Muslim populations in their seats being 'on resignation watch' – including Justice spokeswoman Shabana Mahmood, although sources close to her insisted last week she was not quitting.
Mr Khan, who is bidding for his third term as mayor, has already moved to distance himself from Sir Keir's stance on Gaza by calling for a ceasefire.
