Robert Jenrick, the Conservative spokesman on justice issues, demanded to know whether Starmer knew about historical social media posts in which Abd el-Fattah allegedly endorsed killing “Zionists’’ and police. Jenrick also called on Starmer to condemn Abd el-Fattah’s statements and withdraw his “unalloyed endorsement” of the activist.

I wonder how long before Starmer regrets this. Starmer’s team is made up of Rachel “proud to be a Zionist” Reeves and staked his career in the character assasination of Corbyn because the latter did not accomodate liberal zionism enough.
