Appreciate “immediate ceasefire” is the SNPs line because it gives them space to attack the other two parties but hasn’t Starmer already come out and said they need a “sustainable ceasefire” several times? The semantic difference being that sustainable means a ceasefire which neither side will immediately go and break. A challenge when Hamas themselves keep saying “there will be no ceasefire”.
Before someone calls me a mass murderer I fully agree the violence and bloodshed should urgently end but it feels like the SNP are just playing this semantic point scoring game to try and draw a bit of attention ahead of the as yet undated GE.
When is Russia’s day in court over the it’s genocide in Ukraine?
