The Labour MP Kate Osamor has had the whip suspended while she is investigated for saying Gaza should be remembered as a genocide on Holocaust Memorial Day.

The MP for Edmonton in north London is due to meet party whips on Monday after issuing an apology over the message she sent on the eve of the day that marks the murder of 6 million Jews during the second world war.

Starmar wants to win. He cannot afford the right wing media to go after him. A right wing media that is rabidly anti Palestinian. So yeah, he is clamping down on any Palestinian related comments.

Don’t blame him personally… It’s our media landscape that is lop sided.

A Labour party which will not stand up to the right-wing media might as well not be in office.

And that’s how you get another 10 years of Tories or a Tory-Reform coalition government.

It’s been 45 years of Tories because we do not have an opposition, just a party that thinks the best it can do is keep the Tories’ seats warm for them.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
