Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, has been accused of lying about his previous statements regarding Israel's actions in Gaza. Multiple sources, including a national TV appearance and a Novara Live show hosted by Aaron Bastani, highlighted inconsistencies in Starmer's statements. He initially claimed he did not support Israel's right to cut off water and power to Gaza, despite video evidence to the contrary. Furthermore, his correction of the statement was also called into question, as Emily Thornbury, a colleague, later defended his original position.
Many politicians lie. What’s special about @Keir_Starmer is that he lies about lying. On last night’s show we fact-checked his claim that he never said electricity & water should be cut off from the people of Gaza. Watch this video & judge for yourself. https://t.co/0nVKs0fCiT
Keir Starmer has lied again over Israel's siege on Gaza. On Novara Live, @AaronBastani addressed the Labour leader and fact-checked him over his comments about Israel. https://t.co/qpokktnc2K
Keir Starmer lied shamelessly on national TV this morning. He claimed he'd never supported Israel's right to commit war crimes, after being shown a clip in which he did. Why? Because he thinks the general public is thick 👇 https://t.co/05sWtTok5t https://t.co/2FGYyHbrMP
Listen to Keir Starmer claim he did not say “Israel has that right to cut off power and water to Gaza” Then he said he corrected it quickly which is another lie as Emily Thornbury later defended his position. They are all 🐍 in the grass! https://t.co/jEYkpmdM65
Starmer tells us it's clear he didn't say Israel has the right to cut off water and power to Gaza immediately after being shown a clip of him saying it does — a breathless, shameless liar. https://t.co/xlFoSulsRC
