    Huh? He banned weapons exports to Israel, publicly condemned Israel for war crimes, sanctioned a bunch of members of their parliament, ramped up aid for Palestine, committed to arresting Netanyahu if he ever steps foot on British soil, resisted joining the US and Israel with their attacks in Iran, and has recognised Palestine.

    And still has contracts for the Israeli military to train British troops, and still criminalises the expression of support for Palestinian rights. At best, we’re seeing some mixed messaging here.

    They’ve been a centre-left party for half a century now.

    Sure, because there’s no difference between Labour under Michael Foot or Corbyn and Labour under Blair or Starmer. /s
