See Aaron's Instagram post LINK
After an Instagram campaign calling for him to act on the abduction of his Brent West constituent Aaron White, by the Israeli forces, Barry Gardiner has written to Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, calling on her to secure his release.
Aaron White was sailing with the Global Sumud Flotilla to break the blockade on Gaza and deliver food and medical aid.
Gardiner called the Israeli interception a 'kidnapping' and an 'act of piracy' on the high seas.
Accusing the Government of being 'mute' in the face of the Israeli imposed famine, he concluded:
When future generations look back on the role British politicians played in the destruction of Gaza and its people, let them not say 'Just like politicians in all the genocides before.they stood by and said nothing.'
All the nuance and fine scholarly arguments that government lawyers provide to excuse our current complicity will count for nothing. People will look back and condemn us as supine.

Thank you Barry
Why does not Barry Gardiner not show some guts and resign from the Labour Party or better still from Parliament and force a by election? Give local people a chance to show how they feel about the Starmer led Government.
