Starmer’s backtrack on Gaza comments slapped with a community note on Twitter
The Labour leader has insisted that he was "not saying Israel had the right had the right to cut off water, food, fuel or medicines".
The Labour leader has insisted that he was "not saying Israel had the right had the right to cut off water, food, fuel or medicines".
The leader will take his deputy, Angela Rayner, along to allay their concerns on Wednesday afternoon.
The Labour leader visited the centre on Sunday, amid a backlash from Muslim and left-wing members over previous comments on Israel.
“As Starmer has said, ‘Israel has that right’ to continue deadly attacks on Gazans. This is complicity in war crimes."
"The Labour Party is no longer consistent with the values of human dignity, equality and a world where everyone is safe", she said.
The comments come after Gaza’s only power plant ran out of fuel and medical supplies, water and food were cut off.
The Labour leader conducted his speech covered in glitter after a protester made his way onto the stage during the address.
He told Times Radio he was confident he could hit his house-building target, which would include plans for the next generation of new towns.
Sir Keir Starmer will promise to build more homes and devolve power to towns and cities to create a ‘new Britain’.
