Gerald Kaufman in Manchester Gorton

London Muslim liked Gerald Kauffman as one of the staunchest supporters of Palestine on the Labour benches until he voted for the Iraq war and got himself mired in the expenses saga.

Kauffman's speech about being Jewish and how the Nazis killed his Grandmother was one of the most moving speeches during this Parliament.

This is an interesting constituency profile of Manchester Gorton and London Muslim will leave it to Mancunian Muslims to decide if his outstanding support of Palestine compensates for his support and vote for the Iraq War.
