Chaos in the UK Parliament.
It almost fills me with Nostalgia about the Brexit era but this time it's about Gaza.
The SNP (Scottish National Party) to the left of Keir Starmer's labour and had a motion (bill) calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Because some labour MP's have a conscious and/or Muslin constituents, this was likely to severely divide the labour vote and force the party leadership to ponder the cost/benefit analysis of developing an actiual backbone.
Starmer had a meeting with the speaker of the house (the head administrator, for Americans) and asked him to change the bill to labour's watered down version. Starmer claimed that this was because labour MP's had received threats and would be in danger if the vote went ahead but this was nothing to do with Stamer not wanting the bill being voted on and dividing his party. No guv, not at all. The speaker relented and the SNP motion was dropped. The SNP stormed out and Gaza keeps burning.
Joy.
