Cat Eccles, Kevin McKenna and Peter Prinsley joined a delegation to Israel in May, where they met the country’s president Isaac Herzog.

Three MPs have failed to declare an all-expenses-paid trip funded by Labour Friends of Israel (LFI), Declassified can reveal.

The group is funded by anonymous donors and was described as a “lobbying organisation” by one of its former directors. 

Records show that it took five Labour MPs on a five-day trip in May to “show solidarity”, costing up to £2,600 per person. They were joined by Labour peer Luciana Berger. 

…

Two of the MPs on the trip – Jon Pearce and Mark Sewards – have already declared the trip in the Register of Interests.

But the strict deadline for declaration appears to have been missed by the other MPs, Cat Eccles, Kevin McKenna and Peter Prinsley.

…

When questioned by Declassified, a Labour Party spokesperson said: “Due to an administrative error, attendance at this delegation was not declared on time, but all relevant declarations have now been made.”

The spokesperson did not explain how the same “administrative error” was made by all three MPs, and declined to comment on whether this claim was misleading.

UK Labour Party government ministers Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner and Rachel Reeves explain that they are partners complicit in Israel's Gaza genocide. The UK has provided Israel with arms, military and air force support. They explain that they don't do gas chambers but do do forced marches, starvation, destroy hospitals, mass-murders of journalists and healthcare workers.
