    Apparently has threatened to sack any Labour front benchers if they were to vote on a Gaza ceasefire.

    Just when you thought the tories had delivered a Labour landslide, the bloke is desperately trying to shoot himself in both feet.

    Why have a vote if you can't vote what YOU want ?

    Dunt get me started on Starmer. I detest his authoritarianism but to some on here he's whiter than white. If he said 'drop more bombs on Gaza to make sure the job's done' some would support it cos he's Labour. The man has no moral compass and doesn't lead when he should - just tries to shut people up. That'll do for my moan. I'll say no more as I know I'm like a broken record.

    He was trying to put an amendment down to call it a pause not a ceasefire

    Starmer has revolutionised the labour party in a relatively short period of time since the Corbyn leadership, you don't do that by being a pussy. Party discipline and all that.

    No win situation for him, if he says don't vote and they do and he doesn't act the Daily Heil will scream " Weak, not a Leader, No Control" and the scum media will av a field day...If he says vote and your gone and follows that up he's a Dictator, no democracy and too autocratic...it's like Rishi wi Bravermouth.dint toe party line so out...thing is it should be a FREE vote without instruction then we'd get the ceasefire the situation needs.

    Yup whatever we do, utterly pointless.
    Concentrate on this country and things we are likely to influence for me.

    So why is it a no win situation then?
    If he says its a free vote, then that's what it is.
