Labour has warned that front bench MPs face the sack if they back a House of Commons motion calling for a ceasefire in Gaza . Labour will put forward its own amendment to the King’s Speech to “reaffirm” the party’s position on the Israel-Hamas conflict.
A party spokesman said the wording of the amendment would address concerns on both sides of the Middle East conflict, including the lack of action by the Palestinian militant group Hamas to release about 240 hostages and the “scale of civilian casualties in Gaza”. The Opposition outfit has also confirmed it is “not going to be engaging” with the SNP’s amendment to the King’s Speech which demands a ceasefire. It comes after reports suggested Sir Keir could sack shadow ministers who vote in favour of any Commons motion calling for a ceasefire in the war
