MORE than 30 parliamentarians urged the Prime Minister to show “basic humanity” for Gazans yesterday after he vowed to close a “loophole” that allowed a Palestinian family to remain in Britain under a Ukrainian refugee scheme. 

The cross-party letter arranged by Labour MP Kim Johnson comes a day after Sir Keir Starmer was criticised by England’s most senior judge for saying a judge had made the “wrong decision” in the case.

The letter, signed by Labour, independent, Green and Lib Dem MPs, including former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Green Party co-leader Carla Denyer, as well as four peers, asked Sir Keir to clarify his comments during Prime Minister’s Questions last week.
