PMQs scorecard: Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer strike a somber tone amid Israel-Hamas conflict

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:03:16 GMT

Prime minister’s questions: a shouty, jeery, very occasionally useful advert for British politics. Here’s what you need to know from today’s session in POLITICO’s weekly run-through.What they didn’t spar about: It was a somber atmosphere in the Commons, thanks to events in the Middle East. Acutely aware that the usual PMQs squabbling would be a bad look, Labour’s Keir Starmer instead asked simple, non-partisan questions about the government’s investigation into the “incredibly distressing” Gaza hospital strike, rising antisemitism in the U.K. and work to prevent a humanitarian crisis.It was all very reminiscent … Of the parliamentary exchanges between Starmer and ex-PM Boris Johnson at the beginning of the pandemic, when the Labour man had pledged to provide “constructive opposition” at a time of crisis. For PMQs, this kind of session remains a rarity. News line I: On the hospital strike, Sunak said the international community “m...

Don’t let Israel-Hamas war distract from Ukraine, Grant Shapps tells US

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:03:16 GMT

British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps issued a warning to U.S. lawmakers not to take their eyes off Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In an interview with POLITICO during a visit to Washington, Shapps made the point — diplomatically, but clearly — that it would be a disaster if the “fast-moving” crisis in the Middle East allowed the West to lose focus on the need to support Kyiv. “Let’s not forget about Ukraine,” Shapps said. “It’s really important that we keep the world’s focus there as well. We can do this. We can focus on both Europe and the Middle East at the same time and I just wanted to be here to work on some of that coordination.”The question of ongoing American support for Ukraine was already fraught before Hamas’ attacks on Israel on October 7, which have dominated Western political debate ever since. A new package of U.S. aid to Ukraine was put on hold after the ousting of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a fact that freaked out Kyiv earlier this month. Shapps ...

Olaf Scholz condemns firebomb attack on Berlin synagogue

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:03:16 GMT

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz condemned antisemitic attacks after Molotov cocktails were thrown at a synagogue in Berlin in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Two masked people escaped without being caught, according to German media reports, after throwing firebombs at the building — and missing their target. “Fortunately, persons and buildings remained unharmed,” the synagogue announced Wednesday, adding that a criminal investigation has started. Scholz — who is currently in Egypt, after visiting Israel on Tuesday — condemned the attacks against Jewish institutions, calling them “inhuman, abhorrent and not to be tolerated. Antisemitism has no place in Germany,” he said.“My thanks go to the security forces, especially in this situation,” Scholz added. However, German news outlet Tagesspiegel reported that the security officers protecting the building were present at the time of the attack, but failed both to prevent it happening and arrest...
