A day when a world leader had showed some leadership. Who would have thought?

What a difference a week makes.
Last Tuesday, Keir Starmer batted away all invitations to recognise the state of Palestine. He was committed to being appalled by the situation in Gaza but not appalled enough to do anything about it. He then received a letter from more than 250 MPs, including cabinet ministers, later in the week begging him to recognise the state of Palestine. He still stonewalled. The time was not yet right. Not even the opinion polls that showed most of the UK population supported the recognition of Palestine could move him. Safety first. Don't rock the boat. Few were expecting that much of the emergency cabinet meeting to discuss Gaza. Some slightly stronger words to reflect the level of feeling among some cabinet ministers maybe. But still leaving himself some wriggle room. A balancing act that was sure to leave almost everyone feeling unhappy.
