The ‘Hellfire’ Awaiting Andy Burnham at 10 Downing Street
What was said
"It's hard to get past the genocide, isn't it? But obviously the media establishment in this country is so complicit in it. Why would they scrutinise Keir Starmer for something that they themselves are complicit in?"
Owen Jones claims that BBC and other mainstream UK outlets omitted Gaza from their political obituaries of Keir Starmer because the media itself is complicit in Israel's actions. He points to a 2,000-word BBC piece analyzing Starmer's failures that made no mention of his stance on Gaza or his crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism at home. Jones argues this systematic erasure protects both Starmer and the outlets that supported UK complicity in the conflict.
