 Sir Keir Starmer 'will vow to recognise Palestinian state' in Labour's election manifesto in bid to shore up core support from his party's left wing 

Sir Keir Starmer is expected to include his strongest commitment yet to a Palestinian state in the party's election manifesto.

The Labour leader is reportedly planning to include a pledge to recognise Palestine before the end of any peace process in a bid to shore up his core support on the Left.

He has previously said that it would only be recognised as part of a move to implement a two-state solution to the ongoing conflict.

The final version of the manifesto – said to total fewer than 30 pages – will be presented to senior figures at a crucial meeting with unions today before it is launched officially next Thursday.

Sir Keir has come under fire for his caution in calling for a ceasefire following the attacks on October 7 by Hamas and Israel's response. 

And do not forget his running mate Angela Rayner who leads the unions and has a more popular and stroner voice in the Labour party than Starmer himself!
