Gaza: if the UK won’t act now, then when?

Update: 2025-07-23

Description

As hundreds of thousands of people face starvation in Gaza, this week the foreign secretary, David Lammy, joined a chorus of global condemnation over Israel’s actions, describing the killing of innocent civilians seeking food and water as grotesque. But when will his words be followed by action? John Harris speaks to the UN’s special rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese. Plus, will the Tory reshuffle do anything to take the wind out of Nigel Farage’s sails? The Guardian’s senior political correspondent, Peter Walker, joins John to discuss.
