Not surprised. He‘s better than Starmer but doesn’t redeem labour. Greens it is.

Was there ever any doubt? He was chosen because he's a sell out. Stop letting the establishment choose your candidates or enjoy these cunts, those are your choices. Ours too in the US. We are both failing with no end in sight. Uggh. I am kind of out of politics because of it.

He added: “But I do have concerns about the disproportionate nature of what has happened in terms of the destruction, and there has to be a full process of investigation and accountability.”

The world-leading International Association of Genocide Scholars last year declared that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

​> Israel has killed at least 72,000 Palestinians there since 7 October 2023 and experts  quoted by the BMJ say the actual toll is far higher.

Burn this party to the ground. This is how Biden talked... at THE START of the Genocide of Palestinians.

Denial of basic facts its not even an "opinion".

He oppose bds, he do not advocate for susprnding arms sale

Amazing. They should have also asked him whether he can judge Russia's war against Ukraine, China's genocidal atrocities against Uyghurs, Tibetans, Mongolians and other minorities. And the war in Sudan. What does he say?

How about we all agree it's mass murder, the evil killing of innocents. The definition of genocide is not the problem, mass murder is.

Welp

Touches his toes with the best of them.

A second Keir, and just as genocidal

Sure, and 9/11 was just a navigation error.

Oh, awesome. Another genocide apologist.

Splendid, another twat.

What a stupid asshole.

Very enthusiastic slaughter of civilians will do too. Hello Starmer v2.

Israel is doing exactly what it was made to do, why would the USA and UK betray their own creation? Especially since it's working.

"Big thing too big, politicians only think small, not big. Me not want to say what I really think".. neither do I Andy, because you'd have me kicked out of the country just like your predecessor. Same shit different asshole.

I guess the pile of dead children is probably too big for him to acknowledge now. Where do you find such morally empty sad disgusting bitch ass fucking losers?

Tells me everything I needed to know about him

At least, not until they're all gone. /s

Britain: the more things are made to look like they're changing, the more they stay the same.

Another fucking coward.

What a disgusting excuse for a human being.

The UK were instrumental in giving birth to this settler-colony by issuing the Balfour declaration in 1917, taking Palestine over after World War 1, arresting and executing Palestinian nationalists during the Arab uprising in 1936, and training the Irgun and Hagana Jewish terror gangs and then promptly high tailing it out of there when the going got rough. So its no surprise that British politicians are hand in glove supporting this current genocide.

It never gets better, the next one is always worse

I'm somewhat suspicious of the way the Guardian didn't actually publish the interview itself, but just their journalist's writeup of it. We're not told what the question he answered actually was, just what it was "about", and then the headline writers of the outlets quoting that quote take it a step further into implying that he's a full-on genocide denier.

We did it Reddit

He wouldn't be the next in line if he did

It's just diet genocide not the same thing.

If you call our Israeli influence across national boundaries you are called an antisemite and a conspiracy theorist. But here we are, planting zionists in all the worlds leadership positions despite in being unpopular with the voters of "democracies"

Amazing. They should have also asked him whether he can judge Russia’s war against Ukraine, China’s genocidal atrocities against Uyghurs, Tibetans, Mongolians and other minorities. And the war in Sudan. What does he say?

Coward

Person wanting to be prime minister says least surprising (or doesn't) thing ever. What did people expect?

So.... It being called or not being called a genocode is the divide to where killing civilans matters? Interesting

hey guys, this labour leader is not better. Let's allow "Reform" to win so that they can do the same thing AND purge britain of all the brown people and gay people.

Kind of oddly worded. Sounds like he doesn't want to comment on it because he's not PM yet.

Asked about the violence in an interview with the Guardian, he said: “I can’t judge things of that enormity from where I am as mayor of Greater Manchester.”

Says the man hoping to be Prime Minister of a nation of 70 million.

Edit: being "only" leader of a city is a weak excuse as well, considering historical precedent: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-22976781

I notice how much Burnham looks more and more like Starmer as the days pass. Slightly different clothes, slightly different glasses, slightly different accent.

Remember when Starmer stood for Labour leadership on his list of 10 promises?

1. Economic justice: Increase income tax for the top 5% of earners, reverse cuts to corporation tax and clamp down on tax avoidance.
2. *Social justice: Abolish universal credit and the welfare sanctions regime, set a wellbeing goal and prioritise it equally with GDP, stand up for universal services, defend the NHS and scrap university tuition fees.
3. Climate justice: A green new deal, introduce a Clean Air Act to tackle pollution locally and demand international action on climate rights.
4. Promote peace and human rights: No more illegal wars, introduce a Prevention of Military Intervention Act, put human rights at the heart of foreign policy and review all UK arms sales.
5. Common ownership: Support common ownership of rail, mail, energy and water, end outsourcing in our NHS, local government and justice system.
6. Defend migrants’ rights: Full voting rights for EU nationals, defend freedom of movement post-Brexit, create an immigration system based on dignity and compassion, end indefinite detention and call for the closure of centres such as Yarl’s Wood.
7. *Strengthen workers’ rights and trade unions: Work with trade unions, tackle insecure work and low pay, repeal the Trade Union Act, oppose Tory attacks on workers’ rights.
8. Devolve power, wealth and opportunity: Introduce a federal system, including a regional investment bank and control over regional industrial strategy, abolish the House of Lords and replace it with an elected chamber.
9. Equality Act: Remove obstacles to limit opportunities and talent by building on the achievements of the party, which include the Equal Pay Act, Sure Start, BAME representation and the abolition of Section 28.
10. Provide effective opposition to the Tories: Provide “forensic” opposition to the government linked with the membership and a “professional election operation”, unite the party, promote pluralism and improve the party’s culture, take robust action to eradicate antisemitism and maintain effective links with trade unions.

Sounds a bit like "Burnhamism" doesn't it. Hmmm....
