Bet she was fucking schtum every time a fucking Hogwarts wand shop opened in the Shambles.
An ex-Labour MP who quit the party over comments made by Sir Keir Starmer about the Israel-Gaza conflict has accused him of condoning war crimes.Keir Starmer made a clear and unequivocal statement that Israel has the right to defend itself within the bounds of international law. Only an idiot would interpret this as "Israel are right in whatever they do".
Responding to a question about Israel's right to cut off power and water to Gaza, Sir Keir said he thought "Israel does have that right".
He has since clarified his comment, but ex Birmingham Selly Oak MP Lynne Jones said: "It was... the end of my tether."...

They left not long after we arrived and not before one of them crashed into my somewhat tetchy mate, with another apologising for him. We were there to drown our sorrows two days after the 2019 GE (I'd come up on a steam-hauled day trip).Andy McDandy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2023 3:28 pm Noise in the city centre?

You are of course correct that Lynne is of the Corbynite tendency - as an MP, she was a member of the Campaign Group, and was known for her rather extreme distaste (one might even say hatred) of Sir Tony Blair.

You're probably right about Lynne deliberately working to undermine the success of the party under Starmer, but Lynne's influence in these matters is neglible, which is to say virtually zero. Not that her influence ever was worth very much. Frankly, I'm amazed that it has taken Lynne this long to find a hill to die on.
