Labour’s position on the Gaza genocide is now very ugly indeed.

As Angela Rayner was giving a speech, a bereaved Palestinian interrupted to raise awareness of what is actually happening in Gaza.

Some of you may consider that to be rude, at the very least – but how else are these people going to get their point across? They are being denied a voice everywhere – as subsequent events prove very clearly:

That’s right: the first speaker and those who stood up to speak out in support of him were manhandled out of the event by police officers in order to shut them up.

Is that what the United Kingdom is, now? A police state?

The appropriate action for Rayner to take would have been to pause her speech, give the bereaved gentlemen the benefit of some sympathy and some time, and listen to what he had to say.

Then she could have taken note of what he said. She could still have stated Labour’s position after he finished, but she could also have promised to bring his concerns about that position to the other party leaders.

She didn’t do any of those things so, judging her by her actions, I’m going to conclude that she doesn’t care about this man’s loss – or the loss suffered by anyone else of Gazan descent in the UK who has lost family members in the genocide.

By extension, she doesn’t care about the genocide itself, and by further extension, we can conclude that nobody else in the Labour Party machine does either.

Taking that to its logical conclusion – as espoused by the late, great Tony Benn who said that our politicians support events abroad that they would like to see happening here in the UK: Rayner and the thugs now posing as leaders of the Labour Party only wish they could visit the same grief on people here as has been dealt out to the people of Gaza.

All right – perhaps that final conclusion is taking it a little too far.

But it is a reasonable position to take, based on Rayner’s immediate reaction to call in the police.

It shows very clearly that the Labour Party under its current leadership has no regard for what is right – morally and/or ethically – and only wants power for the sake of its own leaders’ enrichment.

If you were planning to vote Labour before this, I certainly hope you have changed your mind now.
