The Tories want the Gaza genocide to continue because it's damaging to Labour

An anonymous Tory minister has said that his fellow Tories are worried that the Gaza genocide will end, because it's been driving Muslim voters away from Labour.

A senior Tory has said that Tory MPs are "worried that there might be peace in the middle east" because "that might help Labour".

The depraved Tory rationale for wanting the Israeli genocide and atrocities to continue is that Keir Starmer’s genocide complicity has been driving Muslim voters away from the Labour Party.

Sam Coates didn’t name the Tory politician who told him this, but made it clear that it came from a government minister.

30,000 dead; 70,000 seriously injured; two million displaced; the use of starvation as a weapon of war; systematic targeting of prominent Palestinian journalists, medics, academics, and their families; deliberate destruction of hospitals, schools, and universities; widespread looting by Israeli forces; attacks on Palestinian mosques and churches; demolition of museums, ancient monuments, and archaeological sites; torture and humiliation of civilian prisoners; the use of food trucks as bait to massacre starving civilians …

It’s impossible to put the scale of the atrocities into words, and a very large majority of British people want to see an immediate end to it.

Yet Tories, including at least one government minister, want the Israeli genocide and war crimes to continue, mainly because they see some party political advantage for themselves in all of this suffering and death.

It’s sometimes difficult for those of us outside the toxic Westminster establishment to
comprehend that it’s all just a sick party political game to these people.

Labour see incitement to kill an MP who they’ve been bullying for years and marginalising for 11 months as a chance to score political points against the Tories and a convenient opportunity to fundraise donations, and the Tories see the world’s first live-streamed genocide as a good thing because it’s harming Labour’s standing amongst Muslim voters.

It’s no wonder that when decent people like the SNP’s Mhairi Black spend time in Westminster, they describe it as "one of the most unhealthy workplaces that you could ever be in" and quit politics to preserve their own mental health.

If Britain’s political media class had any real intention of shining a light on this toxic Westminster culture, they’d be demanding the identity of the Tory government minister responsible for these repulsive comments, and they’d be asking every Tory minister they interview if they also share the view that more genocide and war crimes in Gaza would be good for the Tory party because it’s harming Labour’s popularity among British Muslims.

They won’t of course, because Britain’s political media class is every bit as depraved as the Westminster establishment order that they’re in an insidious symbiotic relationship with.
