UK: Three former Supreme Court justices have joined more than 600 legal experts in calling for the UK government to end weapons sales to Israel

In a letter to the prime minister, they said exports must end because the UK risks breaking international law over a “plausible risk of genocide” in Gaza.

PM Rishi Sunak is already facing growing cross-party pressure after seven aid workers were killed in an air strike.

So then who is the “rules for thee, but not for me” part? It’s British people calling on Britain to do something.

From the aeticle:

Shadow foreign secretary David Lammy said there was "precedent" for suspending sales. Former PMs Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair both took similar action in 1982 and 2002 respectively.
