@andyburnham is a coward.
He apologised for the position this Labour Government has taken on Palestine but He won’t call it a Genocide, he hides behind international law.
He won’t commit to Sanctioning Israel.
He won’t commit the British government to stop sharing intelligence and resources with Israel and he won’t commit the RAF To stop doing spy flights over Gaza.
What he forgets is the minute you suspect a genocide we have an obligation to take steps and save lives.
Just like he forgets that Greater Manchester doesn’t just mean growth in the centre but for every community that feels left behind, like Wigan, like Rochdale, like Bolton. All our communities should to be protected.
That’s why we need @greenpartygeraldine and that’s the difference she will make.
I put off listening to this. It's as weak as I expected. Burnham condemns Hamas and he condemns the rise in antisemitism. He uses the weaker language of criticism for Israel. He talks of a humanitarian crisis not a genocide and is silent on our military backing for Israel.
Well done to @ZackPolanski for making it clear we should be tracking British citizens who have served in the IDF & engaged in genocide. He also rightly calls out the double standards when it comes to condemning Russian war crimes but not Israeli war crimes.
"I would like to see a prime minister who says the word 'genocide', we're not going to get there anytime soon, but it's a good start" from Andy Burnham, I told LBC this week.
Burnham "understood he needed to distance himself from Starmer" who defended Israeli war crimes.
Looking forward to talking about The Fraud and all the insane developments in UK politics over the last few months in Bristol tmrw. 6:30pm at KitForm.

i’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe…iranian shahed missiles fire at tel aviv…i watched arsenal win the premier league…all those moments will be lost in time…like tears in the rain. time to die.
“I'm well aware of the definition of genocide, and that is why I've never referred to this as genocide…”
Keir Starmer in November 2024.
Close to 50,000 Palestinians had been killed in Gaza by this point.
Yet he chose genocide denial.
Never forget.
I can predict the future: there'll be a phase in the MSM-Westminster merry-go-round when Starmer will sit in TV studios being treated as a wise and humane sage, and the MSM will in effect be asking us to forget that they told us he was a weak, vascillating incompetent.
"If you thought you'd been hacked by the Russians, would you hire a PR firm to deal with it?"
"There was no hack. It was never real."
Peter Geoghegan unearths the scandal that opened up Andy Burnham's Makerfield seat.
