Former Labour Party leader and now Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn speaks during a Palestine Solidarity Campaign rally on Whitehall in central London, September 11, 2024
NINE Labour MPs have joined parliamentarians from other parties in backing Jeremy Corbyn’s call for an independent inquiry into government complicity in Israel’s Gaza genocide.
Thirty-seven MPs in all have signed the latest letter from the former Labour leader to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, demanding a probe into possible government breaches of international law relating to the conflict.
The nine Labour MPs now backing the call, first made by Mr Corbyn last month, are Diane Abbott, Richard Burgon, Ian Byrne, Imran Hussein, Kim Johnson, Brian Leishman, Jon Trickett, Steve Witherden and Nadia Whittome.
