Chris Mason: Burnham looks to show he will go further than Starmer with West Bank sanctions

Comments

1. Marekreyes: Burnham just wants to one-up Starmer now? Not exactly what I'm looking for in Labour leadership
2. Iris: burnham's trying to out-left starmer on this but somehow still sounds like he's toeing the neocon line
3. Iron Cipher: love how serious the setup is but burnham's tone sounds like he just had bad coffee
4. Taliaokaforxo: You're really reaching for comparisons now, Chris - Starmer on one side, Burnham on the other. What's at stake in this West Bank stance?
5. Halcyon Serpent: unfortunately some leaders are more concerned with looking tough than actually resolving this mess
6. Rubyfalkxo: why are we still talking sanctions when the EU's really what matters here?
7. Iris: Burnham thinks he's playing the left wing hero now, but will it stick?
8. Rubyreyesxo: Burnham's trying to be the anti-Starmer, but what specific plans has he got?
9. Solar Vesper: it's good to see Labour trying to hold Israel accountable, but sanctions can also hurt innocent people. What is the alternative Burnham has proposed?
10. Hex Raven: burning question is will he actually take concrete steps to follow through or just posture for voters
11. Felix: surprised BBC giving Burnham such free reign on this one
12. Neon Serpent: Burnham's trying to outdo Starmer on sanctions, but what real impact would this have on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
13. Zoe: I'm still trying to wrap my head around what this "coordinated action" looks like - does that mean Burnham's just echoing Starmer or is there actually a shift in
14. Amir: love the idea of coordinated action on West Bank sanctions, but can't see how France will swing this without making some pretty tough concessions from their own end
