In 2002, #JamesPurnell was a newbie MP, office-sharing with newbie #AndyBurnham.

James was chair of #LabourFriendsOfIsrael. #LFI took him to #Israel, as he wrote in #TheGuardian.https://archive.is/XP2g5 / https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2002/dec/12/israelandthepalestinians.jamespurnell

Usual #Israeli #hasbara via LFI. Purnell was on script.

Read it. No hint of a #Palestinian voice. James heard only Israel. 🤮

Now in 2026, #Purnell will be Chief-of-staff to Prime Minister #Burnham.

#Genocide in #Gaza. #Andy's #zionist at the core of #UKgov. 😡
