The scale of bloodshed in Gaza is unprecedented. Tonight, I will vote for an immediate ceasefire.

We must call for an end to the carnage to protect innocents lives and end human suffering.

With regret, I have stepped down as Shadow Women and Equalities Minister.

History has shown us that military actions alone cannot resolve conflicts. Israel’s use of force will not resolve this one.

We need a full and immediate #CeasefireNow .
