Andy Burnham has signalled a new era for Labour by indicating that he will oversee a tougher policy on Israel in support of Gaza under his leadership, heralding a marked shift in the party’s approach to the Middle East conflict.
The prime-minister-in-waiting issued a video on social media in which he dramatically apologised for Labour’s response to the conflict in Gaza, and admitted that the government had been too slow in calling for a ceasefire.
