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

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

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

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.
