Labour Disgraces Itself Over Gaza

OWEN JONES
About this episode

Labour has just suspended left-wing MP Kate Osamor. Her crime? Describe Israel's onslaught on Gaza as a genocide, just days after the highest court on earth placed Israel on trial for possible genocide.


Meanwhile, Labour's Shadow Foreign Secretary David Lammy claims the party has always been clear through the conflict that international law must be upheld. That is a lie. Here's the sordid truth about Labour's wretched Gaza policy - and how it's allowed the Tories - and Israel - to get away with murder.
