Labour leadership will continue engaging with frontbenchers who disagree with Sir Keir Starmer's stance on the conflict. Senior Labour figures, including shadow equalities minister Yasmin Qureshi, call for a ceasefire.
Labour will not sack shadow cabinet members rebelling over the party’s position on the Israel-Hamas conflict, Peter Kyle has suggested.
But he finds himself at odds with senior Labour figures, including shadow equalities minister Yasmin Qureshi, who called during Prime Minister’s Questions for Rishi Sunak to back a ceasefire. Other Labour heavyweights who have backed a ceasefire include Manchester metro mayor Andy Burnham, London mayor Sadiq Khan, and Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar.
Asked about the debate within Labour, he said: “I think the fact that we have a vigorous debate within our party, as we are doing as a country, and as we are doing actually as a globe right now, reflects a strength, because we have a leader that has channelled that and turned it into a policy that is in step with all of our international partners.”
