Jeremy Corbyn: Scottish Government's Gaza stance 'very helpful'

Asked what his views on the Scottish Government’s response to the crisis – which has included aid payments sent to the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency and calling for an immediate ceasefire – Corbyn said: “I think it’s been helpful and very useful and obviously I feel personally very sorry for the chief minister in his family connections in Gaza and what he’s had to go through from that.

Corbyn said Starmer was"clearly" taking cues from Washington, adding: “What I heard was that from October onwards, the position of Starmer and Lammy was that they would only move when the US moved, they would be in lockstep with the USA, which fits in with the statements that Lammy and others have made having met Blinken.

Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
