LABOUR BRACED FOR GAZA DEMO

SCOTTISH Labour is preparing for a mass protest outside its party conference this week on Keir Starmer's position on the Gaza conflict.

Thousands of protesters could descend on Glasgow over the UK Labour leader ’s opposition to an immediate ceasefire in the war between terror group Hamas and Israel.

Starmer will appear at the conference at the SEC as opinion polls show he is on course for Downing Street.

However, he has faced a backlash over his Gaza stance.

He initially said Israel had the right to withhold water and power from Gaza but later said this was not what he meant.

He has also called for a “sustainable” ceasefire rather than an immediate one.
