Party investigating MP for Edmonton after she said Gaza should be remembered as genocide on memorial day

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.
