Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer swore in his party’s two newest MPs to Parliament on Monday. Gen Kitchen and Damien Egan won victories in Wellingborough and Kingswood last week, when they toppled Conservative majorities of more than 10,000. Praising the two MPs, Mr Starmer said: “They both overturned incredible majorities, the like of which we wouldn’t normally be able to overturn, making history before they’d even been sworn in as Members of Parliament, a fantastic achievement." It comes as shadow health secretary Wes Streeting revealed the party is considering its options on an SNP-led Commons vote on a ceasefire in Gaza later this week.

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.

Police should investigate allegations an MP misused campaign funds, Labour has said. Mark Menzies lost the Conservative whip after claims emerged that he had used political donations to cover medical expenses. Menzies disputes the allegations. Starmer said: “There are obviously a lot of unanswered questions in relation to these allegations, not least why it seems the Conservative Party took so long to act and whether they’ve reported this to the police, who, it seems to me, should be involved" Report by Covellm.
