April 5 (Reuters) - Israel has detained two British members of parliament and refused entry to the officials who were visiting as part of a parliamentary delegation, British Foreign Minister David Lammy said in a statement late on Saturday.

Sky News, citing a statement from the Israeli immigration ministry, says that the detained parliamentarians are Labour MPs Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed, who were rejected because they were suspected of plans to “document the activities of security forces and spread anti-Israel hatred.”

“I have made clear to my counterparts in the Israeli government that this is no way to treat British Parliamentarians, and we have been in contact with both MPs tonight to offer our support,” Lammy said.

    From the Canadian prospective: Starmer is one of the worst PM’s I’ve ever seen in my life. They are labour in name only. So many excuses for genocide, so much ass kissing to Trump. That guy fuckin sucks man.

      Cameron? May? Johnson? Fucking Truss?

      He is disappointing on the Middle East, but it’s literally his job to get the best deal for the UK regarding US trade. If that means tickling a fragile ego, sure why not, an easy win. If it’s proper labour you want, he’d have to denounce every US president since FDR as a fascist abomination.

        Tony Blair is certainly the worst, I forgot him.

        It’s funny in Europe you still have people thinking he will respect agreements with you when they don’t respect you at all. If they destroyed NAFTA on a whim they’ll rip up whatever agreement they make with Europe as they gear up their rhetoric against greenland.

        Great to know we got another Chamberlain across the pond though.

          Chamberlain who stalled until rearmament could take place rather than going off half-cocked?
