He also called for a ceasefire and said he doesn't want to see "British-made weapons, British-made components" used in "any full scale offensive into Rafah."

    Typical Labour….they change their ‘stance’ from hour to hour….not fit to govern….the end!!

    Ignorance from these people should be seen as a crime !!!!
  • @Woodzta
    Ashworth is an embarrassment. He could probably compete with the Tories as a liar and dishonest hack.
  • @dianeirvine7624
    Once again we see how important other countries are and not your own , these people by Chasing votes are bringing more chaos onto our streets

    The coast guard in any country can stop any boat and insist on them leaving that boat. "Manifestly Dangerous" is the marine law that can intercede in such trips. Why don't they just do that.

    That guy is delusional. Anyone can see that when they arrive on UK, they are on their own. The smugglers have the money in France. Why would they bother with the immegrants once they have arrived.

    Israel done really well in the Eurovision offensive too 👍🎉

    A politician who can't give a straight answer, who would have thought it! 😂

    The uk don’t have a foreign policy. The Us foreign policy is the UK one.
  • @snowy3578
    Ashworth saying what he thinks the Muslims in the UK want to hear. God protect us if Labour get in to Government.

    There is nothing more catastrophic than Ashworth and his party.
