KEIR Starmer has been slammed for failing to bring up Gaza once at PMQs on Wednesday afternoon.
MP Pete Wishart said: “Not one mention of Israel/Gaza from the be-knighted one. Imagine a Labour leader of the opposition running away from something as all-consuming as that.”
Sunak was warned failing to call for this risked “pouring petrol on a fire in a place that only requires a spark to ignite”. "Six questions and not a word. No condemnation of collective punishment and no calls for a ceasefire. Cowardice." He clarified his position arguing that he did not mean to back the siege on more than two million Palestinians.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
