The bill, presented under the Ten-Minute Rule immediately after Prime Minister’s Questions, demands an independent investigation into the military, political, and economic support the UK has provided to Israel since October 2023.
Co-sponsored by 40 MPs across Labour, the Greens, SNP, Plaid Cymru, and independents, Corbyn’s motion seeks transparency and the authority to question current and former ministers over the UK’s alleged complicity in “crimes against humanity”.
While Ten-Minute Rule Bills rarely become law, this initiative forces both Labour frontbench and the government to publicly state their positions on the UK’s role in supporting Israel’s offensive and sparks debate over Britain’s legal obligations.
True you’re right. Hopefully it helps push the publics opinion further into being critical of Israel.
And probably the government too.
Which is fair, given their choices.
Hope it doesn’t lead us closer to Nigel Tumpage getting into No. 10 😐 just because he knows how to spin better than labour.
