The Socialist Campaign Group has struggled to find a role and a voice in Labour since Keir Starmer became party leader.

The PM has waged a broad campaign against the left in Parliament and the party at large, including controversially suspending MPs.

The group has largely seen to be coerced into acquiescence, except on the issue of Gaza, where broad sections of the parliamentary party have joined the left in unhappiness over Sir Keir’s pro-Israel stance.

Individual MPs have expressed concern on other questions, or more occasionally voted against the whip, but the group’s collective impact has been very muted.
