I sat down with our Labour candidate before the elections and before Oct 7th, after he'd been on a Labour Friends of Israel trip to warn him that I believed Israel's government had genocidal intentions. He went on to take the chair of LFI. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

At the last election, Labour defeated the sitting Tory MP in High Peak. Within a matter of weeks, our new MP , who had no previous parliamentary experience, became chair of Labour Friends of Israel. It was never mentioned previously. He now works harder for Israel than for his constituency. Very odd
