Andy Burnham (Labour) making noises about the genocide in Gaza is farcical because his party (Labour) are still keeping people in prison who opposed it.
🤡
Our analysis of Andy Burnham's statement:
Burnham didn't use the term genocide and instead said it was a matter for the "international courts... rather than politicians" to establish accountability. This is the same as the Starmer government and is in defiance of most of the world's human rights organisations who are referring to Israel's "genocide".
He said war crimes only "appear" to have been committed despite documentation by human rights groups and the UN, and the reason for the ICC's arrest warrant for Netanyahu.
He said the UK should be "looking" at "further sanctions... on those involved in the violence in Gaza" but did not make the obvious call for sanctions on Netanyahu who is wanted by the ICC.
Burnham said the UK should only be "looking" at a ban on trade in goods with Israel's illegal settlements (which is now the Starmer government's position), instead of explicitly calling for this now.
He did not call to end all arms exports to Israel, nor for an end to UK military cooperation such as withdrawing the 2020 military accord or ending all military training programmes.
We note his specific words. His statement was that (a) "many people feel" (only) that (b) at the "start" (only) of (c) "Israel's military action in Gaza" (not genocide) the Labour government "didn't get it right", but only apparently because Labour "was too slow to call for a ceasefire" (Yet the issue is not only that, it is that Labour has been supporting Israel through military, intelligence, trade and diplomatic support during the genocide).
This may be cynical but it is still immensely important
"Andy Burnham apologises for Labour’s stance on Gaza and says it ‘didn’t get it right’"
Now to end imports from illegal settlements

Received a letter from Natwest threatening to close my 42 year personal account because "some transactions look like business transactions".
I spent an hour on the phone unsuccessfully asking them to tell me which transactions.
Suella Braverman claimed £25,000 in second home allowance while living rent free with mum and dad, Esther McVey claimed £250,000 in second home allowance despite owning a flat just a mile away. So it seems that rent controls do work after all, at least for some.
In a normal world, this terrorist sympathizer would be banned from going anywhere near a hospital or a school.
In this world, she’s become the President of the UNGA.

Let's be clear, the Labour Government didn't get it wrong after Oct 7th, like picking up the wrong fork at dinner. They aided and abetted a genocide of Palestinians by Israel.
