    Save the Children is part of a coalition of 17 humanitarian organisations who issued a joint statement on Wednesday calling on the incoming prime minister, Andy Burnham, to take “decisive action on Gaza and the occupied West Bank” when he takes office next week.

    Among its central demands is the complete suspension of arms sales to Israel and the imposition of trade sanctions until alleged breaches of international law are brought to an end.

    Pretty reasonable demands, the bare minimum TBH, anything else is complicity

    A government source suggested on Wednesday that the post could increase anxiety among MPs already worried about their security

    Oh no, have MPs tried being responsive to constituents needs as a way to avoid being hated?

    Divisive hyperbole and misinformation like this are completely unfitting for a children’s charity,” a minister added. “This kind of language makes the concept of complicity utterly meaningless, which does no favours to the many children at risk of atrocities around the world.”

    Fucken hell

        Yes, Minister got it wrong with The Whiskey Priest.

        The government wont try to hide that British weapons are ending up in the hands of terrorists. Theyre too busy defending the fact they already openly sell to terrorists in Israel.
