It’s a big deal that the United Nations Special Rapporteur for Occupied Palestinian Territory has called out Keir Starmer, along with other politicians, for supporting Israel committing a war crime in Gaza. And yet not a single mainstream media outlet has reported on it

It is extremely concerning that a senior politician expresses support for the commission of war crime and, potentially, a crime against humanity: such is intentional starvation of civilians when part of a widespread or systematic attack on a civilian population.

Astonishing how much Labour is spending by dragging us through the courts. Half a million on one hearing alone, and that’s a fraction of the total costs. Even a Starmer ally on the NEC calls it a “monumental waste… pursuing what appears to be a pointless political vendetta” 🧵

We must not be complicit in Israel's war crimes. But Israel uses British-made arms in Gaza & our government still sells it weapons. That's why today – alongside 134 MPs & Lords from Labour, the Conservatives, SNP, Lib Dems & more – I have called for arms sales to be suspended.
