Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s recognition of Palestine, calling it a move that rewards terrorism while ignoring hostages in Gaza and civilian suffering.
She accused Starmer of lacking a clear plan, pandering to Labour’s left, and cited his past foreign policy decisions as evidence of poor judgment.
She wrote: “Rewarding terrorism with no conditions whatsoever put in place for Hamas leaves hostages languishing in Gaza and does nothing to stop the suffering of innocent people caught in this war.”
She further argued that Labour’s recognition of Palestine was part of a broader pattern of misplaced priorities, adding: “They cannot fix the NHS, so they push assisted suicide. They cannot create jobs for young people, so they give them votes at 16. They cannot sort out immigration, but they will recognise Palestine instead.”
“Everything we are seeing is a consequence of a Prime Minister who has no plan for the country and no judgement,” she said. “He will spend the next four years delivering the hobby horses of the Labour left to stay in power and leave a huge mess for us to clean up.”
