Lynne Jones quit Labour over Sir Keir's comments in a radio interview about Israel's actions in Gaza.
An ex-Labour MP who quit the party over comments made by Sir Keir Starmer about the Israel-Gaza conflict has accused him of condoning war crimes.
He has since clarified his comment, but ex Birmingham Selly Oak MP Lynne Jones said: "It was... the end of my tether."Speaking on LBC Radio, Sir Keir was asked whether Israel was right to respond to the attacks by Hamas with a siege of Gaza, cutting off water and power. But not before nine Labour councillors on Walsall Council wrote an open letter, calling on him to "do the honourable thing by apologising and retracting his comments".
"He's a human rights lawyer and he knows that collective punishment is not allowed under international law."Speaking on the same programme, Khalid Mahmood, Labour MP for Perry Barr, in Birmingham, said Sir Keir had made "very clear" what he meant by the comments over the past few days.
