Party investigating MP for Edmonton after she said Gaza should be remembered as genocide on memorial day

The Labour MP Kate Osamor has had the whip suspended while she is investigated for saying Gaza should be remembered as a genocide on Holocaust Memorial Day.

The MP for Edmonton in north London is due to meet party whips on Monday after issuing an apology over the message she sent on the eve of the day that marks the murder of 6 million Jews during the second world war.

    Yeah I think that’s true, in most cases Starmer is stomping on anything that could be construed as even vaguely antisemitic, for obvious reasons given recent history. I’m not sure what the equivalent justification would be for Corbyn, going after people for flipping houses or fiddling expenses or something like that?
