As a permanent member of the UN Security Council the UK can call for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages.

[-] Ordoabchao@kbin.social 7 points 10 months ago

We could, but we won't. Have you seen who's currently in charge of our country? Even if Starmer gets into power, no ceasefire will be called for.

Our country has a vested interest and lots of money invested in Israel, same as the US.

There is pressure from within the Labour party to have Starmer call for a ceasefire. However he is very much Tory Lite.

He's a budget Blair. I'm surprised he hasn't purged all of the left leaning Labour members yet, I thought he had completed that a while back.

I dunno, he's more posh than Blair, but he's definitely less capable.
