Paul Bristow MP Sacked Over Gaza Ceasefire Stance

Conservative MP Paul Bristow, sacked from his role as a parliamentary private secretary over comments on Gaza, expressed no remorse, backing his call for a ceasefire.

Bristow claims his move, contrasting the government’s stance, was to better represent his constituents’ views, especially given Peterborough’s significant Muslim population.

This dismissal, following Bristow’s letter to the Prime Minister, highlights the tense political landscape within the UK government regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict.

This conflict has also put pressure on Labour leader Keir Starmer, as he struggles to control his own senior members from going against the party line.
