"The party's got a problem." Former Labour MP Thangam Debbonaire, who lost her Bristol seat to the Greens, exclusively tells Cathy Newman that her party's "lack of a strong narrative" around Gaza during the election "had consequences".

Watch the full interview here:

@cathynewman When they had the opportunity to do so, just 1 in 4 Labour MPs voted for a ceasefire in Gaza. David Lammy was briefing Labour MPs that 'a ceasefire was not credible' Over 29,000 Palestinians had been killed before the party changed its position.

@cathynewman It wasn’t just Gaza - you represented a constituency where Corbyn was v popular and you were rabid against him

@cathynewman Why’s this loser and the other loser, Ashworth getting so much airtime?

@cathynewman The British Labour Party continues to enable the genocide in Gaza. They still are pretending that they don’t. It is a pity that more of them are not suffering the consequences as a result.

@cathynewman They had a strong narrative. It was "we support Israel, the US and genocide"?

@cathynewman Gaslighting doesn’t work on this site I’m afraid. We keep the receipts.

@cathynewman it was their actual positions that were the problem, not the narrative, this excuse making is pathetic. Its irrelevant anyway in this case because the greens were completely dominating bristol politics before the gaza genocide even started

@cathynewman The party’s “narrative” was unconditional support for everything the IDF did with the occasional platitude about not killing every single Palestinian if it could be avoided.

@cathynewman The Labour party has a problem with taking money from Israel . How much influence does the Israeli embassy on UK foreign policy.
