nov 19, 2023 - Reeves States Protests against MPs as 'Crossing a Line'

Description:

Some of the protests targeting MPs over the Israel-Gaza war are "crossing the line" into intimidation, the shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves has said.

She made the comments after a demonstration was held in north London on Saturday close to Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer's constituency office.

Ms Reeves called for "civility and decency" when discussing the conflict.

Labour MPs were this week told not to vote for an SNP amendment calling for an immediate ceasefire.

On Wednesday, 10 Labour frontbenchers resigned from their jobs to defy Sir Keir and back the amendment.
