Starmer’s actions on Palestine were unforgivable www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/07... I am stunned, shocked and appalled by the continuing support Starmer is offering Israel, because that is what he really did yesterday.

Starmer’s actions on Palestine were unforgivable
If you listened to the news this morning, you would think that Keir Starmer has recognised Palestine. He has not. He has come nowhere near recognising Palestine. He is playing games with Palestine....
