From 2h agoBurnham says Israel sanctions are example of Britain 'showing leadership'Badenoch says Burnham talks about the last government. But the last government was Keir Starmer’s, and it fails.She accuses Burnham of being “continuity Keir”.Burnham replies:
double quotation markShe mentions leadership. Let me tell her and the whole house where Britain is showing leadership.
There have been Conservative politicians at this despatch box, Labour politicians too, for decades, who’ve talked about the importance of the two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.
Words from any politician about a two-state solution will be only words if it’s not backed with action. And leadership is about taking action.
Where there is injustice, where we need to correct unfairness, people being driven out of their homes, losing their homes, being intimidated in their daily lives, I credit the father of the house [Edward Leigh] who yesterday applauded the action that this government is taking in this difficult and dangerous world.
