Whoever replaces Sir Keir Starmer will take a tougher line on Israeli war crimes. Imran Mulla and I analyse for Middle East Eye what the Labour leadership crisis is likely to mean for British relations with Israel:

Israeli soldiers were caught on video raping Palestinian

Victim suffered ruptured intestine, severe injury to anus, lungs & broken ribs

Israelis rioted for the right to rape, government
ministers defended soldiers & 1 rapist became a TV celebrity

All charges were then dropped

Elected representatives in the US House of Congress have written a letter urging the US government to acknowledge Israel's nuclear weapons.

Last year, Declassified UK revealed the UK had exported £9m worth of components for Israeli submarines, believed to be nuclear-capable.

[Sienna Rodgers @siennamarla]

TUC general secretary Paul Nowak is expected to tell the FBU conference today: "Let’s be honest, last Thursday’s election results were a disaster for Labour. And they reflected the fact that for far too any people, change feels like a slogan, not a lived reality.

"Now, the TUC isn’t affiliated to the Labour Party. We won’t be involved in any Labour leadership contest in the way you are. And I’m not interested in playing Number 10 top trumps.

"But my message to the PM. And to whoever is in Downing Street, and whoever is in government, next week, next year, and in five years' time is simply this.

"It's time to show working class people in this country you are on their side. It's time to deliver the manifesto commitments Labour was elected on. And it's time to be bold and to be ambitious."

[Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East @CJPME]

Breaking: @MarkJCarney's government just voted against Bill C-233, which would have stopped the flow of weapons to Israel via the United States loophole. Canada has chosen to protect those profiting from genocide. We will not forget how MPs voted in this urgent moment.

Bombing the center of a capital should be unthinkable. Apparently it depends on the city — and who’s dropping the bombs.

In London, Paris or Washington this would be a global crisis. Here it barely registers.

[John McEvoy @jmcevoy_2]

This is a photo of US soldiers at RAF Fairford.

They are loading bombs due to be dropped on Iran.

Does this look "defensive" to you? Britain is knee deep in this illegal war.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

🚨BREAKING: Over 60 MPs have backed my new parliamentary motion for widespread sanctions on Israel.

After the genocide in Gaza, the Israeli government is moving to annex the West Bank.

Only sanctions – on arms, trade, the economy & Israeli officials – can stop these war crimes.

[Peter Oborne @OborneTweets]

To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains itself the accumulated evil of the whole."

We're outside Wesminster Magistrates' Court this morning in solidarity with @PSCupdates's Ben Jamal and @STWuk's Chris Nineham. Protesting for Palestine is not a crime. #DropTheCharges #DefendTheRightToProtest

[LambethSouthwarkSHA @markhow92520234]

The UN reported that only 14 of the 36 hospitals in the Gaza Strip were operational by October 2025, after the Israeli Army had carried out at least 700 attacks on Gazan health centres since October 2023.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Voting is now open for Your Party's leadership!

A vote for @TheManyYP is a vote for a mass, inclusive, campaigning force.

Remember why we're doing this: so that everyone can live in dignity and peace. That is my determination. It always has been, and always will be.

[Stop the War Coalition @STWuk]

Our Chris Nineham and @PSCupdates Ben Jamal will be in court on 23 Feb on charges relating to an entirely peaceful protest for Palestine in January 2025

If you support the Palestinian cause, freedom of expression and the right to protest, get along to Westminster Mags Ct at 9am

I never knew Christianity was opposed to jury trials, not even the more deranged sects within Protestantism.

[Peter Shearer @shearernorthern]

It’s such a tribute to Corbyn that this lot of treacherous, malicious and dangerous people threw him out. As we all said all along, he exposed them for what they are and many of us will always thank him for that.

[MikeD @mjdaly57]

Peter Mandelson and Margaret Hodge should have been suspended from The Labour Party when they both admitted to working every single day to destroy Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership. Whatever their views on Corbyn, they effectively walked roughshod over the hopes of millions of Labour supporters who wanted to see the back of the Tories. It’s not just Mandelson who needs removing from The Lords, it’s Austin, McNicol, Smeeth, Hodge, Chapman, Mann, Woodcock and every other scoundrel who was singing from the same hymn sheet as Mandelson in their efforts to destroy Corbyn.
