00:00At a time when Britain needs strong and decisive leadership, we have a Prime Minister who is too afraid of
00:10making the wrong decision, too afraid to make any decision at all.
00:17Last week's by-election has spooked the Labour Party. They watched the Greens campaigning on sectarian voting lines, a tactic
00:26that Labour used for many years is now being turned against them.
00:31And now Keir Starmer is too scared to make foreign interventions for fear of upsetting a tiny section of that
00:39electorate.
00:41Everyone remembers the mistakes of the Iraq War. Nobody sensible is suggesting that we should drop bombs without a second
00:48thought.
00:49But Keir Starmer spent days consulting lawyers, plucking up the courage to say whose side he was on.
00:57Canada and Australia had the moral clarity to do so immediately and unequivocally.
01:03And even now, our Prime Minister is sitting on the fence.
01:08We are in this war, whether Keir Starmer likes it or not.
