Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater Manchester, has declined to describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide.
Burnham, who is standing to be the MP for Makerfield in the by-election on 18 June and intends to replace Sir Keir Starmer as British prime minister, was asked about foreign policy an interview with the Guardian on Thursday.
According to the news outlet, Burnham declined to say Israel has committed genocide, explaining: “I can’t judge things of that enormity from where I am as mayor of Greater Manchester.”
But Burnham added: “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.”
Ah, so he’s just like his other friends in what’s left of Labour. Lacking principles, conviction, or courage in the face of obvious injustice.
Just what we need in a Prime Minister.
He intends to be the prime minister of the united kingdom, yet he doesn’t think he can judge the enormity of genocide as a mayor? Why then would anyone trust him to be the prime minister? Why should anyone vote for him If he’s clearly not ready?
labour is the UK Dem party.
