david lammy difficult candidate to know how to deal with.onth, mr lambie has been reaching out to trump people, and he has met them. so, from nancy too, can i meet you? —— not see too, can i meet you? because convicted felon or not, the british prime minister will have to deal with him whether we like it or not. we live in a world of realpolitik, whoever runs america it doesn't take away from the fact that it is by far our most important ally. we have got a visibly ailing president and a convicted felon as his opponent, so this is a good day for president by —— for president putin in moscow and president xi in chinese. western democracy could be seen to be in the dirt and not up to the challenges that the world faces. you dirt and not up to the challenges that the world faces.— dirt and not up to the challenges that the world faces. you have an excitin: that the world faces. you have an exciting few _ that the world faces. you have an exciting few months _ that the world faces. you have an exciting few months to _ that the world faces. you h

which is why david lammy. — the debate as well.ountry today, across parts of northern and eastern scotland and down the eastern side of england, there has been some warm spells of sunshine. i've seen temperatures go to 23 degrees in a few spots, but it's a different story further southwards and westwards, with outbreaks of rain for northern ireland, wales and south west england. the rain has all been tied in with this curl of cloud, which is an area of low pressure. these weather fronts have been particularly slow moving, so it's been raining for most of the day for these areas and the front will continue to be slow moving as we go through the night. eventually, the rain crawls its way across the midlands into eastern england, gets into more of scotland through the night. but it should start to ease off across parts of wales, and the south west of england, although there could be a few showers here. temperatures overnight for most around 11 to ia degrees. so we are looking at a mild night and a mild start to tuesday. this time, tho

we've had david lammy talking about how he would essentially he'd i'm paraphrasing here, don't sue meut he drank benjamin netanyahu to the hague kicking and screaming, wouldn't he? presumably that means that we would stop selling arms to israel as well. a massive shift in foreign policy there by by the labour party, i think i think most people would think i think most people would think to try to appease the quote unquote muslim vote in britain. is it really that change the labour party? it's fundamentally changed. >> you look at the selection of parliamentary candidates that has been undertaken under keir starmer. it's been utterly ruthless and no one with a far left corbynite perspective has been able to get through. and i know the tories are going to try and, you know, create this impression over the coming six weeks that, you know, keir is the face for a still very left wing labour party. i don't think that's the case at all, you know, he's not a scary figure that comes across clearly in the polls. and i think that's going to cut, cut through during the campaign. i also agree that

is fully over himself to appear— david lammy is fully over himself to appear pragmatic, sensibled states a lot, emphasising his us route _ united states a lot, emphasising his us route some of the fact he's visited america more than he has friends, he — visited america more than he has friends, he went to harvard, friends on both— friends, he went to harvard, friends on both sides of the aisle. like barack— on both sides of the aisle. like barack obama? will you noticed that too. barack obama? will you noticed that too also _ barack obama? will you noticed that too also in — barack obama? will you noticed that too. also in the same breath he refers _ too. also in the same breath he refers to— too. also in the same breath he refers tojd vance, too. also in the same breath he refers to jd vance, a republican as his friend _ refers to jd vance, a republican as his friend as — refers to jd vance, a republican as his friend as well. so he's going over— his friend as well. so he's going over there _ his friend as well. so he's going overthere. mr lammy his friend as well. so he's going

of what david lammy has said today.t it would only seem natural to me that a labour government would then also seek to stop selling arms to israel, would seek to cut a load of diplomatic ties with israel. you would have to do that if the icc court decides that benjamin netanyahu needs to be arrested, and the labour party backed that, we would have to sever diplomatic and military ties with israel. is that really what a vote for a labour government would mean? would you back that? >> i think back in whatever the icc says, it's not a question of whether we go that. i mean , it's whether we go that. i mean, it's not convenient. morals aren't convenient. a lot of the time, patrick, and they're not comfortable. but when friends and allies commit atrocities, you have to be able to hold them to account. and what i would say to account. and what i would say to ellen is, you know, to say that britain somehow is duty bound to protect israel when israel has just killed british civilians. what kind of friend and ally does that? wha

democracies who believe in the rule of law must submit themselves to it. >> well, david lammy sayingot surprised. after all, the labour party do not want to lose any more votes to george galloway or the green party or whoever else it may be, and we saw some of that in the local elections . saw some of that in the local elections. i'm joined in the studio by natasha hausdorf, barrister at six pump court chambers and director of uk lawyers for israel. what an extraordinary cat . log of events extraordinary cat. log of events in the course of the last 48 hours. >> indeed, and i think the real tragedy here, and one of the key casualties, is the rule of law that we just heard being referred to. what we've seen is a campaign of lawfare across various international legal organisations , not just the organisations, not just the international criminal court, but we've seen a great deal of this sort of activity at the international court of justice. the un's highest court, and at other un bodies and institutions , as the un human rights council is a case in point. and of course, you've referre

i mean, i have heard david lammy compared to david cameron on the internet , but, that was for internett, that was for different reasons. >> fair enough. okay, yeah . >> fair enough. okay, yeah. initially i thought, well, how can the republicans like labour? oh hang on. and then they just lay into cameron. he's moralising . they're sick of him moralising. they're sick of him telling them what to do. you don't like being told what to do, lewis? do you, do you think this is fair? is it fair? >> well, i think this is what happens. you know, they got to. i mean, the tories, the tories . i mean, the tories, the tories. i mean, the tories, the tories. i mean, the tories, the tories. i mean, trump has to be nice to somebody. these are the people coming in that they're moving in next door. of course, he's not going to say we expect these people to be horrible people because they're moving in next doon >> but they didn't have to be that warm, did they? they didn't have to say far preferable. i really like this guy. >> a lovely little bit of twisting by inews here, a little bit here, i think, bec

whether that gives due , impartiality. >> but as soon as everyone pointed out that david lammy and a labour politicians, have you seen the clip where david lammy says, oh, breaking news and says something like, oh, you've done yourself a mischief. exactly. yeah. and you know, it became less of a story at that point. the point of this story is they don't like gb news, but, you know, we're all right. we're all right. come on guys. >> no, we're not all right. we shouldn't be all right, all right. i'm not all right. it's funny because it says a statement from the from ofcom said that broadcast is a reminder that, that the code prohibits candidates in uk elections from acting as news presenters , interviewers or presenters, interviewers or presenters, interviewers or presenters of any type of programme during the election penod. programme during the election period . oh, so that's bad, period. oh, so that's bad, right? that's bad. no. >> well, it might be bad for you, but if you're a freelancer who's available at the drop of a hat, apart from, i think, the 16th, i can't do, then yeah, get

because who is david lammy? what is the credibility of david? david lammy? non—existent. be the shadow foreign secretary, but less than a couple of years ago he was accusing scotland yard of faking the death figures at grenfell. you know, he was a complete , crazy hothead under complete, crazy hothead under the previous labour leadership. now he's in with the chancellor. top job. he'll say anything you like, but the truth is, sadiq khan has got a long history of dislike of trump. he's constantly tried to go. trump he's playing to his own very local audience here in london, the truth is, sadiq carnage. three things as well. he's a failure . he's a crime failure. he's a crime perpetrator. and he's a liar. one thing you can guarantee about khan , if he speaks, he's about khan, if he speaks, he's lying. >> first of all, i mean, you can't call him a failure. this guy is celebrating yet another win to become london mayor. another term, another four years. and in what sense is he a liar ? liar? >> well, he's constantly lying in the london assembly about police numbers, about cri

we've had david lammy talking about how he would essentially he'd i'm paraphrasing here, don't sue me he drank benjamin netanyahu to the hague kicking and screaming, wouldn't he? presumably that means that we would stop selling arms to israel as well. a massive shift in foreign policy there by by the labour party, i think i think most people would think i think most people would think to try to appease the quote unquote muslim vote in britain. is it really that change the labour party? it's fundamentally changed. >> you look at the selection of parliamentary candidates that has been undertaken under keir starmer. it's been utterly ruthless and no one with a far left corbynite perspective has been able to get through. and i know the tories are going to try and, you know, create this impression over the coming six weeks that, you know, keir is the face for a still very left wing labour party. i don't think that's the case at all, you know, he's not a scary figure that comes across clearly in the polls. and i think that's going to cut, cut through during the campaign. i also agree that t

i mean, david lammy talking about how he would bat the icc if there was an arrest warrant for benjaminisrael being our key ally in the middle east and it is now legitimate , i possibly is now legitimate, i possibly for the conservatives to say if you vote for labour, that is a vote to make an enemy of israel. and that's massive as well. >> i think what it is to say, do you accept international law and the rule of law if you don't accept the rule of law, you can say, i don't like that court. it's a foreign court. i don't like that judgement. it's a difficult judgement. but i think if in the end, if you think that the way that politicians behave should be within the law, then they have to respect the law. and i think that's where we're talking about in regard to both the judgement of the icc and other judgements . other judgements. >> it's a massive move, though, is it not, though? darren, to be fair, you must have to concede this, that if the leader of israel under a labour government ever set foot in britain, david lammy would essentially drag him to the hague kicking and screaming? >>

. >> david lammy shadow foreign secretary david lammy can't make his mind up on whose side he's on. >tist. no, i'm an extreme leftist. it's a shambles. i don't believe the british people will be fooled by the nonsense. >> now starmer , labour have a plan. >> in fact, they rather fortuitously publish their plan last week with the six point manifesto. so actually the timing has been perfect for keir starmer. >> in fact, they published it some time ago and it was written by gordon brown. and it basically explains how labour. >> but all of this disaster, what you've done now is you've passed a pall of sadness over , passed a pall of sadness over, over the should be sad about it because it's really worrying . because it's really worrying. >> all of this is a huge distraction, constantly saying that keir starmer and labour doesn't have a plan means we're not going to scrutinise their intent to change the constitution and go further down the blair revolution. that's what you're saying. >> labour doesn't have a plan is a red herring. it is a red herring. >> well, so do they have a plan, mark?

. >> david lammy shadow foreign secretary david lammy can't make his mind up on whose side he's on. >tist. no, i'm an extreme leftist. it's a shambles. i don't believe the british people will be fooled by the nonsense. >> now starmer , labour have a plan. >> in fact, they rather fortuitously publish their plan last week with the six point manifesto. so actually the timing has been perfect for keir starmer. >> in fact, they published it some time ago and it was written by gordon brown. and it basically explains how labour. >> but all of this disaster, what you've done now is you've passed a pall of sadness over , passed a pall of sadness over, over the should be sad about it because it's really worrying . because it's really worrying. >> all of this is a huge distraction, constantly saying that keir starmer and labour doesn't have a plan means we're not going to scrutinise their intent to change the constitution and go further down the blair revolution. that's what you're saying. >> labour doesn't have a plan is a red herring. it is a red herring. >> well, so do they have a plan, mark?

wanted to see that leadership, but i do think the labour- are in the right position- and david lammynt here. how interesting, though, that she managed to slip in there. "i was one of the first mayors to call for a ceasefire." now that's true. she was. but the mayors took a different position to the national leadership. yeah, because isn't it the case, henry, that there's been a boost for incumbent mayors and also the personal politics can trump the party politics, witness houchen in teesside? this is the point of mayoralties, right? these powerful local mayors sprawling across different local authorities, combined authorities as they're called. this is why they were invented, mostly by george osborne and the david cameron government in the mid 20105, though the london mayor dates back to 2000 of course. they were designed to sort of sit outwith national politics. and i think on the one hand, this set of results shows that they do, because they all have their own particular strengths and weaknesses. they all, of course, you know, are making profound decisions for people's lives in the

but on the evidence of so far, the shadow foreign secretary, david lammy, is falling over himself to— the fact that he's visited america more than he has france, the fact that he went to harvard, the fact that he's got friends on both sides of the aisle... including barack 0bama. 0h, you've noticed that too? yes, every reference — "my friend, barack 0bama." but he also, in the same breath, refers tojd vance — you know, a republican — as his friend as well. so he's going over... and mr lammy has also been very, very clear in saying that he said mr trump is misunderstood when it comes to his europe policy. so compared to all the sort of kind of, how can i put it, the slightly more robust to descriptions of mr trump and descriptions of what he did in recent years, that has now been tempered to, "well, he's a little misunderstood. he's not saying he's going to leave nato. he'sjust saying, we europeans should spend a bit more on our own defence." james, thank you very much. and that's all for this episode of newscast. we actually recorded some extra material that we couldn't fit into this

fighting, but there has been a row in the comments this evening because the shadow foreign secretary david lammyether they should be undermining what he called, a cornerstone of the international legal system. it is going to put the british government in a tight spot at these warrants are upheld. it in a tight spot at these warrants are upheld-— are upheld. it absolutely is. remember. _ are upheld. it absolutely is. remember, far _ are upheld. it absolutely is. remember, far from - are upheld. it absolutely is. l remember, far from ducking are upheld. it absolutely is. - remember, far from ducking out of support— remember, far from ducking out of surmort for— remember, far from ducking out of support for the icc, we were strong permits _ support for the icc, we were strong permits of— support for the icc, we were strong permits of it when it was setup. it has suited — permits of it when it was setup. it has suited us quite well for example when _ has suited us quite well for example when it— has suited us quite well for example when it was— has suited us quite well for example when it was going

i just want to whiz it over to foreign policy now, if that's all right, because david lammy essentially would support calls to have benjamin netanyahu arrested if the icc decides that labour also i was hearing today, is quite keen on recognising the palestinian state, a free palestine that salman rushdie said would be a terrorist state is a vote for labour, a vote to make an enemy of israel .7 make an enemy of israel? >> and no, it's not. and it's very clear to say that what david lammy has actually said is we support international institutions, whether that's the united nations or the international criminal court. it's not for ourselves to make ourselves part of those deliberations, but we support the rule of law internationally as a as a country. the uk has always supported those institutions because we recognise that's in our interest to do so. and when it comes to israel and the palestinians, what we want to see is a real peace process. we want to see a two state solution based on 1967 borders, land swaps between those two countries, an agreement on jerusalem, an agreement on jerusa

if david lammy gets the gig, he's up for doing it.l be interesting to see what gen z do with this, because two years ago they were all about hating iran, because the protest , because the girl the protest, because the girl got killed, about what she was wearing or even, i think two months ago there was still a lot of action on on twitter about people. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> but now gen z are pro—hamas and iran's pro—hamas. this is going to be a very difficult triangle to try and put together. >> every generation has, an educational experience sooner or later, isn't it? in the complexity of geopolitics, i do think it's quite encouraging that there is this kind of cross party consensus against iran. but i do wonder also, there was, i think, i can't remember her name. it was i cannot remember her name, but somebody was saying , iran her name, but somebody was saying, iran is like gearing up to roll out terrorist outrages, one kind or another around the world. what do you think? i don't know that i buy into that. >> yeah, i thin

now, listen, david lammy has urged the uk government to halt arms sales to israel . halt arms sales tovid cameron of chipping norton , the cameron of chipping norton, the foreign secretary, has warned against such a move and claimed it would embolden hamas. well, i'm joined now by the former labour spokesman, james matthewson james. welcome to state of the nation. great to have you on. >> hi, chris. thanks, james. >> hi, chris. thanks, james. >> don't you worry, though , that >> don't you worry, though, that if you weaken israel, you've got less chance of getting these hostages back from hamas. that was the reason why this conflict started on october the 7th. >> only important people to listen to when it comes to the hostages are the families of the hostages are the families of the hostages . and at the moment, hostages. and at the moment, those families of those hostages are feeling. let's put it mildly, woefully underrepresented. and not listened to by the israeli government. benjamin netanyahu seems to be, i mean, he just seems to be, i mean, he just seems to be out of control as fa

know, if you want to do a compare and contrast, you know, you've got david cameron, you've got david lammymay not be a labour foreign secretary. if they win. i think the other thing about this, this speech that rishi sunak's made and to a certain extent to address what daniel was talking about, policy. in the end, it's what people feel. and i think people have by and large had enough of the conservative party. it doesn't mean to say they want, keir starmer or the labour party. i think they just want change, and what do you think to this, cameron, do you think david cameron would ever want to be the tory leader again? >> well, i think it's wild speculation, but i will say this, and you watching him in the house of lords or seeing him do his job and being on the telly. david cameron is undoubtedly a class act . now, undoubtedly a class act. now, i don't agree with him about all his policies and everything. he's done, but he is a conservative and he is a class act. but i don't think the future of the conservative party lies necessarily in going back, and i think he'd see that as well. the fut

once david lammy has been foreign secretary for a couple of weeks. >> nice. yeah, it's given. on exact items they need at home to survive nuclear strike. but it's not just nuclear. they also say this is preparing for emergencies like another pandemic . maybe bill gates has pandemic. maybe bill gates has got his 2.0 planned, a mass cyber attack or nuclear war cyber attack or nuclear war cyber attack, wi—fi down. >> that's what everyone really fears, right? >> or maybe they're planning war with russia. i don't know what they're planning next. guys want to throw that in just because we're talking about tinned food here. so i thought i'd go full conspiracy. yeah. so they're saying you need tinned food, bottled water, all the usual things, all the things i've got basically. apparently people, 40% of people don't have more than three days supplies. i do, i've got the water, i've got scott capurro is having a go at me for eating canned tuna. they say he canned tuna. what's wrong with you? like, i'm sort of terrible. who's going to survive longer? scott in the apocalypse, you're like

interesting that david lammy has been out to meet trump's team . been out to meet trump's team.will take a different view, i don't know. look you know, the most important thing to remember is this america are our key ally. they are our biggest trading partner in the world as a country, as opposed to a trading bloc , and i've just always had bloc, and i've just always had this view that we're living now in a more dangerous world than any points of the cuban missile crisis. and i put it to everyone, whether you like this man's style or you don't, whether you like his outlandishness or you don't, the world will be a safer place if he's back as the 47th president and not not joe biden and the democrats, who frankly , have democrats, who frankly, have been disastrous. and ever since the fall of kabul, been disastrous. and ever since the fall of kabul , the world's the fall of kabul, the world's bullies have seen this as an opportunity to advance. so. so it is in britain's interest that we have a president who is pro britain. biden's not, by the way, as you know, very much on the side

you know, david lammy seemingly going against the grain of the rest of the western international communityhen it comes to those icc arrest warrants. i think the net migration figures are going to look a bit more favourable. not sure about illegal migration and stopping the boats if they go in july, they don't have another summer of channel crossings there may be a little bit of sort of naivety and inexperience that have crept into this decision making. you know, the people in downing street behind us, they're not the most experienced. they aren't campaigners, they're not people who've been very generous because you're forgetting that you might have two interest rate cuts by the mpc before any november election. >> there's a september possibility of a budget. you've got falling net migration, net migration by september. you've got, other, other, other things ticking up for the economy. why not wait and use time as your friend allows the opposition to mobilise? >> you know, he's caught labour by surprise here and equally reform. i know tom'sjust reform. i know tom's just speaking to nigel fa

they're overly keen on hearing the words deputy prime minister angela rayner or foreign secretary david lammyne they shudder at the prospect of edward samuel miliband as the secretary of state for energy and net zero reform. well richard tice his party did perform pretty well, didn't they? in blackpool south there were only 100 votes or so behind the tory candidate and a whole host of council seats. the same people who stopped voting tory went out and voted for reform instead . that is reform instead. that is undeniable, and tice is bullish . undeniable, and tice is bullish. >> succeeded with our best ever by—election result by some margin, significantly ahead of our national polling average. many people in the media have now got egg on their face. they said we couldn't do it. you know, we were a virtual party. well, we've just proven them completely and utterly wrong, but it won't really make a difference at the general election, will it? >> talking of a general election, some people are now predicting that labour could fall 32 seats short of an outright majority . just look at outright majo

david lammy has been quite outspoken on, about benjamin netanyahu. israel. if you back the icc, see us icc, as you've made to say, when they say that if they say that they want to arrest benjamin netanyahu, presumably we would have to divest from israel as a whole. it would be a massive foreign policy shift. do you think that's wise from labour? >> well, look, being a friend of israel and the absolute right for israel to exist doesn't mean that you're a friend of benjamin netanyahu, who is an incredibly divisive, politician who is undeniably , behaved in an undeniably, behaved in an appalling way in this war. and it is right that we support the do you think he's a war criminal, well, the icc and the icj have obviously made very clear to the israeli government that they must not proceed with the offensive in rafah . and then the offensive in rafah. and then that would break international law. and it's right . you know, law. and it's right. you know, when we say that israel and all other state actors have to abide by international law, it's right that

something very quickly, do you feel comfortable with the direction labour's going in because you had david lammye in the united states of america, talking at a conference about how he was a good christian boy, a small c conservative, and shared some views with donald trump. you have natalie elphicke moving over from the conservative party to the labour party. you have the labour party going back on all of their policy ideas of nationalising things and eu free movement of people. are you worried about the direction of the labour party? >> no, because i still think it's only temporary until they hopefully win the election. >> so basically you admit nicky, they're they're a bunch of frauds. >> no, i think it's what all politicians do always they're tactical about how they get the pubuc tactical about how they get the public to vote for the party. >> no, no. >> no, no. >> but labour is the problem here. the problem is with people like natalie elphicke. that's the point. these so—called defectors, keir starmer accepted her. >> is that not a problem? >> is that not a problem? >> no, because she's prob

they really think benjamin netanyahu is going to be listening to rishi sunak or keir starmer or david lammy east? but but actually , it's interesting but actually, it's interesting because you've seen around the world of lots of different conflicts . we saw the same with conflicts. we saw the same with ukraine, you know, you saw the same situation with the arab spnngin same situation with the arab spring in 2011, 2012. you know , spring in 2011, 2012. you know, if enough people put enough pressure on over a period of time , eventually it should have time, eventually it should have some, kind of foreign policy impact. and if it doesn't, that's on the politicians. it's not on the people protesting. they're trying to make their point about a conflict where hundreds of thousands of innocent children are dying. >> that's the arab spring uprising created more bloodshed than it ever solved. and talk about a comfortable sofa. i'll be travelling back through central london via public transport whilst this protest is on, and quite possibly i will bump into on the tube quite literally. many of the peo
