Reinstate Andy McDonald as the MP for Middlesbrough Immediately

The Issue

Andy McDonald, a senior labour MP, has been unjustly suspended from his role as Member of Parliament for Middlesbrough.

Over the weekend, Andy McDonald attended a pro-Palestine rally, in which he said: "We won't rest until we have justice. Until all people, Israelis and Palestinians, between the river and the sea, can live in peaceful liberty.".

This peaceful call for liberty had Andy McDonald unfairly and unjustly suspended, despite it inciting no violence. Rather, it called for peace.

Andy McDonald has been an admirable supporter of Palestine and has called for a ceasefire multiple times. This is not something he should be punished for.

Sign the petition to reinstate Andy McDonald as Middlesbrough's MP immediately.
