Unexpected from Keir Starmer.

It shows how low the bar is with pro Israeli regimes in the West.

"we won't object to the application of an arrest warrant for a war criminal who is orchestrating a genocide"

That should be the standard for every country

i'm so glad to see this from starmer and labour; this plus macron's initiative to invalidate the french elections by working the far right was giving me a pessimistic view of our future.

Not that unexpected - from the article:

David Lammy, the foreign secretary, told the Commons in May: “Labour’s position is that the ICC chief prosecutor’s decision to apply for arrest warrants is an independent matter for the court and the prosecutor.”

Labour have kept changing policies all over the place so have been difficult to predict.
