Independent MP Jeremy Corbyn is set to introduce a parliamentary Bill on 4 June calling for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Tabled under the Ten Minute Rule—a parliamentary mechanism that allows MPs to propose new legislation in a short speech lasting up to ten minutes — the bill seeks to examine UK political, military and economic support for Israel since October 2023.

Corbyn confirmed the move in a statement on social media, writing: “It’s official. I will be introducing a Bill for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza. The government must decide: will it support this inquiry, or will it block our efforts to establish the truth?”

The government must decide: will it support this inquiry, or will it block our efforts to establish the truth?”

I'm not a betting gal but I would put money on the government blocking this.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
