Muslims... just another focus group.

It won't be were you still up for portillo but were you still up for streeting and, I really hope, shammer. I'd love it if Labour gained enough seats to leave parliament hung while shammer and streeting lose their seats and corbyn romps home

Coincidentally just watched this, On Gaza Starmer does the lawyerly one cannot make a judgement so soon. One must wait for the correct authorities to investigate and pronounce a judgement. I havent seen this particular footage etc. Its oh so difficult to come up with an opinion. ( even...

Keir Starmer Refuses To Say Israeli War Crime Is A War Crime

.

I can understand why people, especially Palestinians who are at the centre of this horror, wanted a call for an immediate ceasefire but I think ultimately this will prove to be a much more effective ruling. With a ceasefire the IDF would always be able to claim that Hamas wasn't bound by it...

Have the Lib Dems been any more forthcoming in criticism of Israel, or are they, like Labour, towing the line too?

...the positives because that's the best way to bring about something positive. We shall see. This was always about changing the minds of Israel's supporters rather than changing Israel's mind. That said, I await Keir Starmer coming out to declare that this is what he's been saying all along.

This ruling means that we have a very large propaganda stick with which to beath Keir Starmer and others in the Labour Party. They are supporting actions for which the ICJ says there is a plausible case for describing as genocide.

They rejected the idea that they didn't have jurisdiction and they made a judgement that explicitly mentions genocide as a clear and imminent danger. That's very different from anything Starmer has said. Realistically this is probably the best we could have hoped for, and the fact that it was...

They could read that decision that way, but they'd have even less success than they did trying to stop these provisional measures. The expectation of the court is clearly that things must be vastly better when one month is up.

Note that the court majority’s ruling is basically the same as Keir Starmer’s. Israeli must obey by international law but can continue its military operations.

If the actions of supposed patriots go against the country they claim loyalty to, then the idea that their patriotism is questionable is not just a matter of opinion. But "sticking the flag all over everything" is yet another kind of the same empty performative nonsense. Keith and the Tories...

...standard of patriotism against which the Trumpy patriots fail because who's to say their version is wrong? I think it tends to end up down the route where someone like a Keir Starmer will stick the flag all over everything and all the people who really care keep voting for the Tories or UKIP.

...an electoral “massacre”, one of the Prime Minister’s former Cabinet allies has said, as a poll suggests a new Tory leader could beat Sir Keir Starmer. Sir Simon Clarke, who was Mr Sunak’s No 2 at the Treasury, believes “extinction is a very real possibility” for the Conservative Party if Mr...

...has accepted £193,725 from private health care donors? Not as much as the £295,205 Yvette Cooper has accepted, but more than the £157,500 Sir Keir Starmer has accepted. (link from last June) They should be made to repay it with interest or barred from having any say on the NHS, the crooked...

No! I've been wondering about that. Also, does anyone know the date of the Hamas attack on Israel? Can't find it anywhere...
