Video: Reeves flees questions about Gaza
Shadow Chancellor and aides can hardly get away fast enough
Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves has fled a member of the public who attempted to ask questions about Gaza, where Israel has murdered and maimed well over a hundred thousand civilians, mostly women and children, and is continuing the slaughter daily. Despite the International Court of Justice putting Israel on trial for genocide, Reeves and boss Starmer have defended its right to ‘defend’ itself – in Starmer’s case even, explicitly, by committing war crimes, although he subsequently tried to claim that was not what he had said, despite it being publicly available on video.
After failing to deflect the woman by asking if she was a constituent, Reeves and her entourage tried to beat a hasty retreat, but the undeterred justice advocate followed them along the street, demanding to know whether Reeves had enjoyed a drink of water when more than a million in Gaza are hungry and thirsty and how she would like to have to dig her children out of rubble when so many Palestinians have to – and demanding of those with her how they could support Reeves and the regime of which she is part:
Reeves – who has previously claimed that the hundreds of thousands who left Labour after Starmer’s assault on democracy were “a good thing” because it cleansed Labour of the “stain” of antisemitism – didn’t have the courage to face scrutiny. She was also caught using whole Wikipedia sections for ‘her’ book and was revealed to have accepted a large sum from a climate-change sceptic just before Labour dumped its promise to invest £28bn a year in green energy.
