Stop the War urges Keir Starmer to stick to anti-war promises

KEIR STARMER must stick to the anti-war policies he spoke of during his Labour leadership campaign, Stop the War said today.

The Holborn MP promised to bring forward a Prevention of Military Intervention Act that would “put human rights at the heart of foreign policy” and see an end to illegal wars.

The Act would make the legal case for military conflict and approval from the House of Commons a necessity before action is taken.
