Labour considers backing SNP ceasefire vote

Shadow health secretary Wes Streeting said his party is “considering” its options on whether to back an SNP-led vote this week on an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East.

Labour has so far not ruled out backing the Commons vote, with fears it could create a further divide among MPs on the Israel-Hamas war.

"We'll wait and see the final wording of the motion and we will make Labour's position clear, not just in terms of votes on Wednesday but where we are on the ceasefire," Mr Streeting said.
