A wave of Labour frontbenchers including senior MP Jess Phillips have resigned in order to back an SNP motion calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Afzal Khan, Yasmin Qureshi, Paula Barker and Naz Shah are among the eight shadow junior ministers that quit in order to defy party orders to abstain from the vote.

Rachel Hopkins, Sarah Owen and Andy Slaughter have also left their frontbench roles after breaking the party whip to back the amendment.

This comes on top of Imran Hussain quitting the front bench, numerous councillors and Labour members leaving the party.

While Starmer continues to seek to appease and appeal to right-wing voters who aren't going to vote for him he is hemorrhaging support from the left. He's single-handedly destroying the Labour party.
