Government ‘hypocrisy has rarely been stronger’

Foreign Secretary David Lammy
THE British government was accused of “hypocrisy and double standards” today after announcing extra millions in funding to prosecute Russian war criminals in Ukraine while arming Israel’s criminal genocide in Gaza.
The Ministry of Defence said that it is to give £4.5 million to support Ukrainian documentation, investigation and prosecution of Russian war crimes.
The money comes on top of £6.2m previously committed.
