Some Tories Privately Support PM’s Stance on Israel and Gaza, Conservative Says

Conservative MP Mark Pritchard praised Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer on 24 May 2025 for calling on Israel to end its war in Gaza.
Pritchard shifted from a previously strong pro-Israel stance after witnessing the humanitarian crisis affecting Gaza's largely child population amid continued Israeli bombardment.
Key Western figures, such as Emmanuel Macron and Mark Carney, have strongly criticized Israel's conduct in Gaza, while a small amount of humanitarian aid was permitted into the region after an 11-week blockade amid urgent warnings of starvation.
Pritchard stated Starmer is on the right side of history for defending children facing daily devastating bombings, saying half of Gaza’s population are children being bombed every day.
This emerging support from some Conservative MPs suggests growing calls within UK politics for accountability of Israel and pursuit of a diplomatic solution to the conflict.

Starmer Has No Intention of Controlling Our Borders - The New Conservative

There was a lot to like in Sir Keir’s speech on immigration last week. He vowed to ‘take back control’ and end the ‘one nation experiment in open borders’.
