11 councillors quit Labour over stance on ceasefire in Gaza!
The leader of Burnley Council and 10 other councillors have resigned from the Labour Party over Sir Keir Starmer's decision not to push for a ceasefire in Gaza, Sky News understands. Afrasiab Anwar, who has been in the party for 10 years, said it had been a "really difficult decision" to leave Labour.
He was among those calling for Sir Keir to step down on Thursday.
The 11 councillors described their memberships as "untenable" given the leadership's refusal to demand a ceasefire in the Middle East. In a statement, they said Sir Keir had indicated he "does not value the voice of the grassroots of the party" - citing remarks the opposition leader made following a speech on Friday in the North East. Sir Keir, who has come under internal pressure for Labour to demand a cessation of hostilities, told reporters his focus was on stopping the suffering in Gaza, not on the "individual positions" of party members. Labour has backed the UK government's stance of calling for a pause in the fighting to allow humanitarian aid and medical treatments to reach Palestinians in Gaza.
