The Rest Is Politics
How will Burnham be different to Starmer on the world stage?
What was said
"One of the social media posts he's published in recent days was very much distancing himself from the Star government positioning in relation to Israel and Gaza. Much more sympathetic to the Palestinians. So, we'll see how that works out in practice."
A host on The Rest Is Politics said Andy Burnham has recently used social media to distance himself from the UK government’s positioning on Israel and Gaza, describing Burnham as “much more sympathetic to the Palestinians”. The host added that Burnham had also paid “a really warm tribute” to Keir Starmer’s foreign policy, particularly Starmer’s relationship with Volodymyr Zelensky and support for Ukraine, suggesting continuity on that issue.
