HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Sir Keir Starmer has come under fresh pressure over his stance on the conflict in Gaza after a shadow minister became the first frontbencher to quit in protest at his leader’s refusal to back a ceasefire.
Imran Hussain, MP for Bradford East, said he was quitting his role as shadow minister for the new deal for working people to be able to “strongly advocate” for a ceasefire.
The Labour leader has been grappling to maintain discipline in his top team on the Gaza conflict.

Havent heard this thing condemn grooming gangs in Bradford
Haven't heard your portly self condemn Saville?
Right! But has Sunak done anything either
Khan, Ali, Hussain, these are the true faces of the labour party! We'd have to be mad to give them power!
Racism?
I agree. Power belongs to those wìth no principles!
Naz Shah the Labour MP is just the same she defended the grooming gangs of Rotherham and told the Labour Party MP for Rotherham Sarah Champion to shut up.
Did she defend lucy letby too
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, OUR PARALLEL GOVT/PARLIAMENT MUST BE STOPPED, THEIR AGENDA FOR UK & WEST CANNOT BE ALLOWED !! GOOD RIDDANCE
You are here for the british people only not for some far away lands
What about for BOTH? If we don't try and keep peace around the world, people are displaced from their homelands and seek asylum elsewhere. I'm guessing you don't like brown people coming to the UK, do you?
Who is Rishi Sunka, Is he white?
@@shazdar786 That makes no sense. Who mentioned colour?
Why supporting Israel the far away land?
@@il313li I'm not supporting any far away land I stand for my country only and if you don't like it I suggest you go far away as possible britain will be going back to its roots no more being taken for a ride
Is he the MP for Bradford or Gaza?
His name.His colour. His job .Says everything wrong with Britain today.We are to scared to be patriotic because some Woke "born here so must be British" called Rishi Sunak says we are racist.
Did he campaign against the Hamas atrocities?
Yes.
His aim is to keep pressure on Israel and away from Hamas. That is why he's not demanding Hamas release the hostages and surrender.
GOOD WE ARE RID OF ANOTHER ONE SAD THAT KHAN AND THE HUMAN IN SCOTLAND IS STILL HERE!!!
Don't forget the traitor Fishy Sunak!
It’s too late for that 😂
@mjg8134 it's NEVER to late!
This is what happens when non Brits from different cultures are voted into British politics. Their loyalties lie thousands of miles away from the country they have chosen to live in. Once a Moslem, never a Brit.
So wishing for a ceasefire is bad?
@@Saynofficial. do you know the reason they don’t want a ceasefire to go ahead. They don’t want Hamas to regroup, that is what happens in a ceasefire.
You dont have the loyalty to foreign nationals who have fought and died for this country. You're the type that people were called heroes for fighting against
No sleep lost over this.
Why not? How would you feel if children and babies were dying around you, every few minutes. So disappointed with the lack of compassion. White British nurse.
@@anniechorley4940 Gazans shouldve thought about that before they came out in support of war
I presume he gave such a strong demonstration when it came to Hamas's brutal murdering spree and the attacks on Manchester and London, or the young women beaten to death in Iran didn't he?
Ffs look at the list of depraved foreign policy and then ask why those things happen. Look at the unjust Iraq war, Afghanistan invasion and idiocy of it etc etc. all the result of western foreign policy
If he feels so strongly about foreign affairs , leave your £84k job😮
That makes no sense
@@helicoptergunship if he despises the UK's foreign policy's so much and needs to make a statement,instead of just leaving the front bench,resign as an MP on £84k .
@@indianscout4487 so when the late robin cook resigned from the cabinet in protest against the war in iraq, he should've resigned as an mp too? Thats an absurd argument.
He maybe plays well in Bradford and considered a loss / martyr to / with local labour voters. On the flip side many disenchanted long standing labour voters in other parts of the country might well see his departure and that of others recently, as a benefit of not picking sides in the Israel v Hamas conflict.
I see that you chose your avatar name sarcastically, and I am wondering if you are also against us supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦, in their fight for freedom, against the communist thugs who have invaded their country, too???
Or do you think that the far right neo-nazi israeli government are different, and so they should be allowed to commit war crimes, if they want to, which is what they are doing, and have been doing for decades???
Hi@@ArghansMordonMarghek, The Russian Federation is a capitalist country, not a communist one.
@@JamesLavinTheOnly . You carry on thinking like a brainwashed sheeple, if you want to, but denying the fact that the communist party rules russia, won’t change the fact that it does……
Changing the name of a country, which has kept the same, one and only ruling party, doesn’t change anything, other than the name because it’s still ruled by the communists, on top of that poo tler has repeatedly said, that he wants to regain all of the old cccp borders…
And, your imbecilic claim, suggests that you also think, that the fsb, is different to the kgb, which was different to the nkvd, which was different to the cheka, which is just more proof of your imbecilic brainwashed sheepleness…..
Because, just as russia is still a communist state, the fsb is still a secret police
(in as much, as nobody knows who all of its members are, and they work by intimidating the people, with their willingness to murder anyone who speaks out against the communist regime’s brutality and repressive policies)
murder squad, just as cheka, the nkvd, and kgb were, because, while the name may have changed, the job hasn’t……….
@@JamesLavinTheOnly . Ps, a capitalist country, is one where anyone can run a legitimate business, without having to pay bribery, and without having the constant fear that their business will be stolen by the regime, without having broken any laws, and without having to promise that you will commit industrial espionage for your regime(which is more to do with the ccp, than communist russia, but it’s still happening), because the only real capitalist countries, are all in, “the free world”…….
@@ArghansMordonMargheki do find it interesting that the western media never mentioned all the Russian civilians in Ukraine that being oppressed by Zelensky' goverment!? I am not saying Russia is in the right but there are thousands of Russians living in Ukraine who had enough of Natzi Zelensky. Its not as black and white as they try to portrait it. Imalso find it interesting that you have not mentioned the terrorist group Hamas and their outrageous attack on Israel, killing thousands of innocents. Again not as black and white as you think. Why don't you think Israel have the right to retaliate to that attack?? And lastly WHERE WERE THESE 'COURAGEOUS ' PEOPLE WHEN BRITAIN ATTACKED AN OTHER COUNTRY SIMPLY BECAUSE BLAIR WAS TOLD THAY HAD CHEMICAL WEAPONS. So in your opinion we can send troops and attack an other country on a hearsay (that was false btw) but we can't let a country defend themselves from terrorists?
Muslims always have allegiance towards their religion. Not to their party or nation.
Religion = Gullibility.
its abt humanity . thousands of muslim and christian palestinians have been massacred
Says the Hindutva 😂
@@eems4565 they aren't his constituents.
At least he has shown his true colours. His religion is more important than the country. Thanks for stepping down.
Cares more about people in a different continent than his constituents - time to stand down.
Cares for peace in humanity and you conclude he is not fit for duty. Haha like you are someone of repute to have any value about your thoughts, carry on plebeian and keep paying your masters.
You seem to be unaware of the percentage of people nationally who agree with this MPand not with Starmer. I imagine the stats are the same in his constituency. So he is representing them and the wider UK public. Just a very small number (about the same percentage support Starners stance as believe the earth is flat) So maybe look outside your little echo chamber. Starmer is very much in the minority in his own party, also among his MP's and an the front bench. Not to mention the wider public who have votes.
@@markjohnston7869 Is that why his polling has increased?
how do you know his constituents dont care about starmer's stance on gaza?
He's my local MP. You speak from a position of ignorance, and most likely racism. He is a fantastic MP and a champion for the betterment of the lives of the people of Bradford. Again, that probably bothers you because of your ignorant racist perception of Bradford.
At least all the fascists are outing themselves.
Good
Bradford needs the Army sending in
Not surprised someone with an Israeli flag would immediately go for such an option, genocide supporter.
Long live the Irish people such honourable people, sad I can’t say the same about people from my own country
Good we don't need people like him that care more about other countries than ours goodbye
LOL the irony when the likes of Sunak and Starmer care more about Israel than the UK.....
What an evil thing to say it was the Uk that gave Palestine away, it wasn’t for sale!
Obviously putting his deep rooted faith before the country he professes to serve ,lets hope he never seeks re election .

You sound like you live in a council house, receive benefits and smoke amber leaf
No it's called being a humanitarian for the thousands of people, mainly babies and children who are dying minute by minute. White British nurse.
??? - a bloody Scottish guy is the IDF spokesman
@@markjohnston7869agree
brilliant, if thats how he thinks then he should never have been an MP. Our country shall always remain a SAFE place for the jewish people in the world, dont like it, then sod off
Good ridence.
Proves what we know, starmers BAD news!
Another islamist not playing anymore cos you won't be on his team!!
Still an MP getting his £84k.
Because he's still working for his constituents. I'm one of them and he's a superb, hard-working champion for our area. You just don't like the colour of his skin, do you?
@@rickparkinmotonailed it
You are stirring up racism.Colour has nothing to do with it , unless you are one of those that deface war memorials like those tw*ts in Rochdale.
So he & family are still living off the state ( he as an mp & I’ll his family are on social)
When are we going to rid ourselves of the fifth columnists in our midst with at best divided loytlies, especially those in government or potential government?
Another huge loss to society🤣
His no doubt pro hamas.
Let's hope that the rest follow suit. Anyone with a moral compass and who cares for innocent lives irrespective of their colour or race should not be following Starmer and the UK governments line of giving Israel a free pass to do anything they like to do including genocide. So the floodgates need to open. Starmer has already shown in his reply to the membership and councilors that he couldn't care less about their views. So his front bench need to resign in mass.
Neither Hamas or Israel want a ceasefire. Both have already said this. You are literally throwing the UK under the bus for no reason.
The government and the official opposition are the ones throwing the UK under the bus of public opinion. Which is screaming for a cease fire. So It doesn't matter what Israeli bots say does it. The people cannot be controlled by them. @@superhumantrueman
@@superhumantrueman You might want to look up the word 'literally'
@@rickparkinmoto I know what it means, these guys are intent on bringing down the best change we have of removing the tories for a pointless reason. Neither Hamas nor Israel want a ceasefire, making these protests utterly pointless. We have had 13 years of the tories harming UK citizens, who this MP is sworn to serve, but he will throw his constituents (some of the poorest people in the UK I will add) and the rest of the UK under the bus for some performative, unworkable, virtue signal nonsense.
But you would happily give Hamas and its supporters free pass for killing thousands of innocents? Why do you think that a country has no right to retaliate to an attack that killed thousands?? Where is your moral compass towards those!! Israel has been attacked cowardly, not a peep out of a lot of people whom now all of a sudden find their morals and empathy. Who do you think you an d your ilk are to try to tell a country who has been attacked to stop retaliating. I am not taking sides ( one as bas as the other) but I find it disgusting that many so easily gloss over the thousands of innocent dead Israelis and other nationals like it never happaned.
Bye 👋
As a representative MP, Mayor or Councillor, you must maintain the safety of all the citizens you represent as a 1st priority. That is why the Labour and Conservative party have made a 'collective' decision as to their policy here. If you have strong beliefs based upon your religion then you must expect that sometimes the 'democratic' decision of your party will not be your first choice. However, you accept it because you're part of a team working for the greater good. Why do people stand for election on shared manifestos when they don't truly accept democratic decisions. Instead, join a party where everyone is singing from the same hymn sheet and then see how far you get.
Very aptly put , it's not a lot to expect from someone seeking election to work for their country , he is more than welcome to move to an Islamic country and work for for the good or their society.

Why can't he work for Humanity and stop war crimes? Maybe you should sling your hook and go and live in Tel Aviv they obviously appeal to you even more than your own. @@roystone9932
@@markjohnston7869Doesn't make him right. He is in Britain not a Islamic country. Good that he has gone.
@@rosemarywoolley8394 Religion doesn't come into it, it's called being a humanitarian. Many Jewish and Christian people are also protesting all over the world. Children and babies are dying every few minutes. If that was happening here, you would want people to protest. Or would you have been one of the people who ignored to holocaust when they were first trying to get news out of Germany? Smacks of racism to me. White British nurse.
Just found out that even though his group are a protected client group of the state, they are not where the real power lies.
Good news we don’t need people like this in politics…..Labour is better off and stronger without this guy well done Sir Kier. Britain is for British people 😂

@@markjohnston7869 thanks for being so condescending with your reply just goes to show how naive some people are, keep voting conservative then.
As exmilitary im.sicked by these terrorsts from.within.
Good. Makes Labour more electable
Hahaha
Good riddance. This guy has never spoken with such passion for the British people. He's clearly an ambassador of Gaza and not a true representative of the British people!
He often speaks passionately about inequality in the UK. You just gravitate to the bits that feed your racism.
Oh look, here comes the racist card, and all you cockroaches that hide behind it.@@rickparkinmoto
Bye. Start your own party and stop using labour as a front.
What an exceptional character! Well done sir!
The rat needs deporting along with you!!
Shows where the diversity within labours loyalties lie.
You won’t be missed - if you feel so strongly about Palestine go and physically help them instead of trying to drag the uk into it -
No one even knows who he is.
Is this bloke that ex cricketer who played for Sussex and Pakistan?
Top man does not want to be part of a genocide
I had to do a Google search to find out who he was.
This politician clearly has too much honesty and morality for the new Conservative labour party!
Don't be sarcastic it might be classed as hate speech.
👏👏👏👍
Unfortunate, but... Starmer sucks,
Labour sucks.
Left politics in this country is dead. I tried... im done with it.
Will i ever be presented with a politician worth voting for?
No. Obviously not. Its like the system is purposefully designed to only provide the most tw@ttish of options.
Dont care. Im just going to move to another country. F it.
I know it wont be as comfortable or... polished. But f it.
Dont care. Going somewhere else.
We're f'd anyway.
I trust he will be deselected next election.
He'll know perfectly well of course that his religion only allows for a hudna, not a mutual ceasefire that's binding to both sides, that the rocket fire hasn't ceased as is unlikely to, and that there could have been a ceasefire at any time over the last month merely by returning the hostages..
Who
He is a good actor but I listen to big boss khan he say need to stand with Israel only . We all people stand with Israel yea Israel 🇮🇱 sure win
Clown
thats why i will never vote for labour.
Jog on
