Kate Osamor’s grovelling apology for an accurate Gaza comment has got her back into Labour after the party restored her status.
She was suspended in January after marking Holocaust Memorial Day with a social media post accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.
She had posted on X: “Tomorrow is Holocaust Memorial Day, an international day to remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, the millions of other people murdered under Nazi persecution of other groups and more recent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and now Gaza.”

Her words were attacked by the Holocaust Memorial Trust; in a betrayal of its raison d’etre, its spokesperson said they were a “painful insult to survivors of the Holocaust”.
Strange. Haven’t many Holocaust survivors, and descendant of them, themselves spoken out in outrage at what Israel is doing in Gaza?
And many of the rest of us, who have been watching the ongoing atrocity being committed by Israeli forces in the Palestinian territory, have reasonably concluded that she was right and a genocide was and is being committed there by Israel.
But she seems to have undergone a remarkable change of tune. After Labour announced that it was putting her back under the party whip, she said she “made remarks which were insensitive, inappropriate, and which I apologise for and regret”.
Oh, but wait! What’s this?
She also said she would “continue to reach out to Jewish stakeholders”.
A “stakeholder” is defined as “a person with an interest or concern in something, especially a business”.
So are there Jewish stakeholders in the Labour Party? And do they have an interest – financial or otherwise – in ensuring that Labour continues to support the mass murder of innocent people in Gaza?
This needs clarifying.
Until Labour explains itself, this should be enough to put anybody off supporting Keir Starmer’s cronies in any way at all.
