“Keir Starmer, this is for Gaza,” he said. “You will pay a high price for the role that you have played in enabling, encouraging and covering for the catastrophe presently going on in occupied Gaza, in the Gaza Strip.”

Kind of concerning though cause George Galloway is legitimately a transphobe, and his pitch when his new workers party launched was as far as i recall, verbatim, "a workers party not a wokers party", and they've kept publishing anti-trans shit since then, though as the Ukraine war and the genocide in Gaza began they've focused more on that instead for obvious reasons.

What would they focus on next when they can't take popular foreign policy positions.

So what I don't get is that Labour disowned Azhar Ali after he repeated theories that Israel allowed Hamas to attack on 7 October. Even from a liberal perspective, I don't see this as overly terrible. Politics in the UK is so fucking unpleasant.

He also apologised for his comments but the party refused to accept his apology and pulled out all support for some reason, it's not like he's left wing in any way either so I don't understand it from Keith's perspective even.

Kieth gave full throated support to him to begin with and all the other starmerites also defended Ali because he’s on the right of the party. The Zionist lobby then made it clear he had to go and starmer dropped him like a lead turd.

Yeah, that's the only explanation.

good sign i guess on balance but this guy is a two faced opportunist transphobe. https://fixupx.com/thealeksee/status/1763431579135717771?s=46
