Starmer faces calls for UK's role in Gaza war to be scrutinised in Chilcot-style inquiry In a letter to the prime minister seen by Sky News, former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says UK officials may have been implicated in "the gravest breaches of international law".

Today I have called for a Chilcot-style inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza.

Our concerns have routinely been met with evasion and silence. We need a full, public, independent inquiry with the legal power to establish the truth. news.sky.com/story/starme...
