They decided to submit a very similar motion but wholly watered down to fit the Labour Agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cllr Akbar adds that leaders of the opposition spoke and failed to understand why Labour are making such a sensitive matter political.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cllr Girt expressed his disappointment and further advised that a few months ago at the request of a resident Cllr Hemmingway had failed to submit a motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cllr Nadeem Ahmed stated that the Labour group were acting dishonourably. They should have submitted an amendment and highlighted that this was a copied motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both confirmed that they supported Cllr Akbar\u2019s motion, and that they did not submit a further motion as the one submitted was acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI had the right of reply to close my motion,\u201d says Cllr Akbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI informed the Wakefield Labour Group leader that the difference between me and her was that I serve the public, whilst she serves her party and leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI made it know that the Labour group are playing politics at the expense of a Genocide. Cllr Jefferies has shown a lack of leadership, for over three months, and she has failed to take action on this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTheir watered down motion is nothing but a PR stunt to fit their party\u2019s agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cllr Akbar called out any councillor within their party that had the honour and courage to do the right thing. Further, highlighting that the absence of certain councillor\u2019s did not go unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI called for a recorded vote. All Labour Cllr\u2019s voted against my motion,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After voting against Cllr Akbar\u2019s motion, the Labour group submitted a similar motion to mine albeit to fit their parties agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leader of the Liberal Democrats Cllr Girt raised a point of order. Labour\u2019s motion could not be heard as my motion was already heard and the rules do not allow for the same motion to be heard twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, of course rules are interpreted to the benefit of the leading group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDue to this absurd decision, the Liberal Democrats left the chamber as they did not wish to take part in a meeting where the rules are exploited,\u201d comments Cllr Akbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI made three minor amendments to the copied watered down Labour motion. These included, raising the Palestinian flag until the end of the conflict above the Town Hall in solidarity with the Palestinians suffering a genocide at the hands of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is important to call this \u2018conflict\u2019 for what it is, a genocide, something labour have failed to recognise within their motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSecondly, too demand the cessation of selling arms to Israel; and thirdly to allow the access of medical supplies, food, fuel electricity and water, to guarantee that international humanitarian law is upheld and that civilians are protected in accordance with those laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEx Labour Cllr Sharpe supported my amendment and spoke about how she was prevented from attending protests or submitting a motion by the Labour leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think it\u2019s important that the Palestinian flag is raised and remains raised on our town hall until the end of the conflict to show solidarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEverything else is talk but this is real action and a statement to the entire country that we are not scared to openly support Palestine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe deputy leader of the Wakefield Labour Group made a statement rejecting my amendments stating they were \u2018not necessary\u2019. A Labour fan at this point walked out shouting \u2018I am never voting Labour again\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI raised my Palestinian flag in the chamber anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The submitted amendments were voted on and again the Labour Group unanimously voted against the proposed amendment. Cllr Akbar and numerous Councillor\u2019s left the chamber and left the Labour group to vote on their own motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Labour group passed their own motion and were met by protestors outside the County Hall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Independent elected member for Wakefield East, with no party affiliation, attempted to deliver an immediate Gaza ceasefire motion at a full Wakefield Council meeting yesterday, Wednesday 24th January.
