"Labour Shadow Minister Imran Hussain Resigns in Solidarity with Gaza Ceasefire"

Labour MP Imran Hussain has resigned from Sir Keir Starmer's shadow ministerial team due to his disagreement with the party's stance on Gaza. Hussain wants to strongly advocate for a ceasefire in Gaza, which differs substantially from Starmer's position of calling for humanitarian pauses but not a ceasefire. Hussain believes that a ceasefire is essential to ending the bloodshed, aiding those in need, and facilitating the safe return of Israeli hostages. He was troubled by Starmer's comments on Israel's actions in Gaza and believes the party should go further in calling for a ceasefire. Over 60 MPs and 250 councillors have backed calls for a ceasefire, but Starmer argues that a humanitarian pause is the only credible approach.
