Labour party delegates have voted that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and should be sanctioned, in a shock development at the annual party conference.
The unprecedented move means that the Labour conference has officially accepted the findings of a recent UN Commission of Inquiry report, which found that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and has backed comprehensive sanctions on Israel and a full arms embargo.
It signals significant discontent among the Labour rank and file with government policy. Britain recognised a Palestinian state last week but has rejected calls to denounce Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.
I seem to remember the conference last year voting to bring in proportional representation and scrap fptp, and being ignored. Is this any different? I’m not well up on Labour’s inner machinery. But at the moment it seems to me like the leadership can just ignore this, like they did the PR vote.
Yes the Labour leadership is made up of Zionist prostitutes so most likely it will be ignored. But it’s ammunition to take down Kid Starver
they’ll they stop funding and arming israel while taking money from israel lobbies right?
They aren’t funding and arming Israel. That stopped quite a while ago.
They literally use their bases in cyprus to aid in bombing palestinians.
No it didn’t. You are lying.
Is the UK Selling Arms to Israel (BBC, 22.07.2025)Weapons exports to Israel are banned. Stop lying.
No, they aren’t. I’ve provided evidence to support my claim. If the BBC isn’t good enough, here’s Oxfam confirming that we sell arms to Israel, and if that’s still not good enough, here’s the House of Commons itself, saying that we sell arms to Israel.
You’re claiming that arms sales to Israel are banned. Could you provide any evidence for this?
So do they support plasticine action now?
Palestine Action is not the same as Palestine.
They support Palestine, they do not support PA.
Oh no, is this what it feels like for the Labour party to cut your legs from under you? Doesn’t feel so good being on the receiving end, does it Keir.
Is this meaningful? It seems like Sir Kierenfuhrer just gets to YOLO across a thousand years of building a modern nonfascist state…
It is meaningful in one way.
Those of us looking at forming a new democratic member lead party. Are interested in what will happen. Because when he ignores the members as a PM. it will force members of our own party to form processes to prevent the same.
Let’s all learn from KS about to be demonstrated arsehollery.
Why are they calling it a shock development? This was bound to happen.
It’s slightly shocking because Labour leaders tried to pass another motion which stated that Israel might be committing genocide instead of actually committing it, but that didn’t work.
