Bradford West MP Naz Shah leaves her frontbench role

Naz Shah, Bradford West MP, was one of three Labour MPs in the district to defy the party whip.

BBC Look North reported that Ms Shah had been "sacked overnight" while other national media outlets said she had quit her role.

When approached by the T&A for clarification on the chronology of her departure from the role, Ms Shah did not wish to comment.

Bradford East MP Imran Hussain and Bradford South MP Judith Cummins were also among the 125 politicians who voted 'for' a ceasefire.

Sir Keir Starmer suffered a major rebellion in a Commons vote calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Four shadow ministers, including Jess Phillips, Yasmin Qureshi, Afzal Khan and Paula Barker, quit on Wednesday evening after deciding to support an SNP amendment to the King’s Speech backing a ceasefire.

It comes after Mr Hussain quit his role as shadow minister for the new deal for working people over the Israel-Palestine crisis.

In a letter to Sir Keir, he said he was “deeply troubled” by the Labour leader’s interview on LBC in which he appeared to suggest that the Israeli government had a right to withhold water and power from citizens in Gaza.

In a post on Twitter, Ms Shah said: "For the people of Palestine, every minute, every hour, every day we wait is another orphan, another grieving mother and another family wiped out.

"We must act now to protect civilian life."

Mr Hussain said: "With over 11,000 Palestinian civilians and 1,200 Israelis who have been killed since October 7, and tens of thousands more wounded, it is clear to me, clear to the United Nations and clear to every single aid agency operating on the ground in Gaza that a humanitarian pause just doesn’t do enough and doesn't go far enough."

He added: "The innocent men, women and children of Gaza who are trapped in the never-ending nightmare of conflict which they did not start, and which they have no power to end, do not need a pause, they need it to stop."

In a statement, Sir Keir said Israel had suffered "its worst terrorist attack in a single day" at the hands of Hamas on October 7.

He added: "No Government would allow the capability and intent to repeat such an attack to go unchallenged.

"Since then, we have also seen an unprecedented humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

"At every stage during this crisis, my approach has been driven by the need to respond to both these tragedies.

"I regret that some colleagues felt unable to support the position tonight. But I wanted to be clear about where I stood, and where I will stand."
