“Why won’t you answer?” Victoria Derbyshire asks Labour’s Shadow Attorney General Emily Thornberry if Israel cutting off power and supplies to Gaza is in line with international law. #Newsnight

@vicderbyshire What's the point in having politicians that change their beliefs, idealogy, perspective and even their views on international law as and when it suits their careers. What an absolute disgrace.

@vicderbyshire Shameful from @EmilyThornberry and @UKLabour

@vicderbyshire Shame on you @EmilyThornberry you’re too afraid to even answer a simple question. They’ve turned you into a coward. You used to have morals

At the very pinnacle of success in his career, Mohammed Ali stood by his beliefs and refused to be part of a cruel war in Vietnam and was unfairly penalised for it. Here we have a career politician refusing to stand by international law. Weather vanes like @EmilyThornberry are a blot on British morality.

@vicderbyshire You can't trust a party that doesn't believe in human rights, don't vote for the Labour Party!

@vicderbyshire Beyond words, this is not a politician we should vote for in the 21st century, our political life needs complete overhaul.

@vicderbyshire ‘Now is not the time’ - no, we need to wait until the bloodthirsty slaughter of the unpeople has been completed, preferably once the electricity is out, and then we’ll express mild regret. What is the important difference between Palestinians & Ukrainians, I wonder 🤔⚪️🟤 ✝️☪️?

@vicderbyshire Unbelievable on so many levels.

@vicderbyshire Because she knows it isn't. Deep down. But daren't say so as within a week she'll be expelled from the party for alleged AS.

@vicderbyshire We do not have to stand with Israel while it commits war crimes and breaks international law
