Mr David Lammy

Labour — Tottenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 September 2025

Debate

Middle East

Contribution

I think that the British people are wise and deeply concerned about what they see, but I also think that their wisdom means that they ascribe blame, where appropriate, to the actors on the ground, remembering that one of those actors is a proscribed terrorist organisation. They recognise that Britain has a role to play and a historical duty, and they want to see Britain playing that role alongside partners, which is what we are doing.
