Ali, the MP for Birmingham Hall Green, said: “Is it not time for the prime minister to now admit that he has the blood of thousands of innocent people on his hands and for him to commit to demanding an immediate ceasefire and an ending of UK’s arms trade with Israel.”

In a swipe at Keir Starmer’s claim to have “changed” Labour since Jeremy Corbyn’s time as leader, the PM replied: “That’s the face of the changed Labour Party.”

Three hours later, Ali posted an apology for his remarks on X (formerly Twitter).

HuffPostUK understands that came after a dressing down by Labour’s chief whip, Alan Campbell.
