ANOTHER six Scottish Labour officials have quit their roles following the leadership’s “gag order” on discussing Gaza.
The branch had intended to debate a motion on Gaza at their monthly meeting, but members then received an email from Scottish Labour, saying the situation should not be discussed under any circumstances.
Evans issued guidance to CLPs last week in the wake of the war between Israel and Hamas where he warned members against attending pro-Palestine protests and reportedly barred Labour council leaders from attending.Cowley did however explain that he was not planning to suspend his membership entirely and that they were still committed to the party.
“The Labour Party continue to believe strongly in the cause of peace in the region through a two-state solution that delivers security, peace and freedom for all through a sovereign state of Israel and a sovereign state of Palestine with an end to occupation and the siege.The news comes as Keir Starmer seeks to clarify remarks he made about Israel’s decision to limit supplies to Gaza after they sparked concern.
However, speaking on Friday, Starmer said: “I know that LBC clip has been widely shared and caused real concern and distress in some Muslim communities so let me be clear about what I was saying and what I wasn’t saying. “We all know there are innocent civilians in Gaza in a humanitarian crisis, a million children that aid urgently needs to get in.“So I was saying yes, they have the right to self-defence – that right they do have – but not the right to withhold that humanitarian aid that needs to get in. It is now absolutely urgent.”
