Keir Starmer mobbed by protesters over Labour's Israel-Gaza stance

Pro-Palestine protesters mobbed Sir Keir Starmer’s car as he left a central London venue where he had delivered a speech on the Israel-Hamas war.

The Labour leader faced shouts of “shame”, “you’re a disgrace” and “ceasefire now” as he got into the vehicle outside Chatham House.

Police officers pushed protesters aside, but some ran at the car and drummed on the windows. After the police cleared a path for the vehicle, protesters ran after it up the road.

Sir Keir had used the speech to defend his position on the ceasefire issue amid a Labour revolt.

He has called for “humanitarian pauses” in the fighting to allow more aid into Gaza and to allow people to flee but he is resisting calls from some Labour MPs and shadow ministers for a full ceasefire.

Sir Keir said a ceasefire would only “embolden” Hamas.
