Key quotes
· 3 pulledZarah Sultana has called out leadership hopeful Wes Streeting in his cynical attempt to use the illegal war on Iraq to 'shoot down' war criminal Tony Blair.
Wes Streeting is, of course, right to acknowledge the 'terrible cost in Iraq' inflicted by the West. But his support for continued arms sales to Israel as it wages its genocide against Palestinians lays bare his sickening hypocrisy.
Against the Iraq War, yet was perfectly content to back the UK government arming Israel's genocide in Gaza.
