Never forget, Sir
@Keir_Starmer
served in this man’s Shadow Cabinet and campaigned for him to be Prime Minister.
Never forget.
The unfolding events in Israel and Palestine are deeply alarming.
We need an immediate ceasefire and urgent de-escalation.
And we need a route out of this tragic cycle of violence: ending the occupation is the only means of achieving a just and lasting peace.

that cases numbers alone are no longer the key driver for our decision making.
Time to ‘put the denominator on the table’
