On the ICC, Mr Stride says the situation is "deeply unhelpful" and what we should be focusing on is "getting aid into Gaza" and "pressing for a humanitarian ceasefire".

If the US and UK had acted earlier to prevent the barbarism of the Israeli military then this wouldn't have happened.

[@joancooley1387]

Acted earlier. Did everyone Miss that bit.

'ICC situation is deeply unhelpful' says this boldfaced hypocrite, who's trying hard to look and sound like everything's ok.

[@gayan2517]

They issued warrant against putin too. Very unhelpful there too. Shame.

[@XratedRC]

France disagrees. France supports the ICC 😂😂😂😂

[@marcusdosh408]

I agree 100% with the icc

[@ricken21]

Unhelpful for whom? War criminals? Certainly.

[@user-ur6le3px8u]

‘ICC situation is deeply unhelpful’ interesting comment….Rishi Sunak should be worried that the next arrest warrant’s will be for him, due to his complicity in helping to enable the war crimes being committed by Israel.

[@destrohades2094]

Completely nonsensical position from government. 1. Gov spokesperson: ICC warrant request is unhelpful we should be focused on getting aid into Gaza 2. But Netanyahu is accused of purposefully blocking aid into Gaza, hence the warrant request 3. Crickets

[@Guapaahi]

Most sane oeople think its about time Netanyahu was held responsible ( along with his enablers ) STOP THE OCCUPATION

[@nirit1ngr]

What occupation?

[@ikke12345]

Isn't UK a party to ICC?

[@JN-om6rw]

Yes

[@turtlex5994]

The124 members of the ICC vote to admit Palestine in 2015. The UK doesn’t have a veto but this creep is saying the UK doesn’t recognize the majority decision. Appalling disrespect for international law.

[@stiofain88]

Technically, yes. Practically, no.

[@marcusdosh408]

Yup.....

[@ikke12345]

Yup, would be interesting if Netanyahu would be arrested at Heathrow and then extradited to den haag

[@nizamixiii]

Our work and pension secretary works for another country.

[@mustafamajid7794]

Yes deeply unhelpful to the continued genocide … sure the Tories feel bad that way

[@Hoozpoppin]

I'm sure someone who is from works and pensions is perfectly placed to comment on international affairs. Its only us and the US which keep on supporting the sycophantic netanyahu; every other country has been condemning israel's actions for months.

[@WeRemainFaceless]

Unhelpful or not, doesn't mean they're wrong.

[@travisr82]

Vote them out , the other lot are only fractionally less useless though

[@carcav13]

WHY WHY WHY DO THE TORIES STAND BEHIND ISRAEL?

[@vladalex2177]

Moneyyy

Arms trading. Simple.

[@nirit1ngr]

Why not?

[@bulky800]

Because they take money off them simple as that

Lets get rid of international law if we want to pick and choose. Let the world descend to anarchy.

Deeply unhelpful to the people being bombed too

[@ikke12345]

How so?

Mel Stride has been bought!

Stride is responsible for hundreds of deaths if disabled people in the UK. He needs to be in prison for his crimes

[@alexsong3597]

Work and pension has anything to do with ICC? LOL

[@GlobalPenguin2012]

I find so much hypocrisy in international politics.

[@keithperkin-vb8hv]

The establishment holds guilty people to account when most of them have along with their victims died!

[@bilpat5123]

So certain countries and people are above the law?....

[@ikke12345]

The ICC is not there to help, but to bring criminals to justice

[@ThatWantedGuy]

He doesn't give a crap about us or anyone else but himself

[@user-zc4yd9ss7h]

Labour is supporting the ICC, I'm glad to see.

[@courage5761]

Was it deeply unhelpful during Russia and Ukraine war?

[@stevenaitcheson6938]

Turned up to talk about his success with getting people back into work and walked into an ambush.

Says the deeply unhelpful Mel Stride.

[@alien4422]

I reject this Tories comments on the ICC and look forward to his exit at the next election.

[@lucacivalentin3909]

Netanyahu make Putin luck like a pace activist and he got convicted... But yeah.......

He has a warrant he hasn't been convicted. Netanyahu is worse however.

Why didn't South Africa say anything about Hamas? The ICC has.

[@RevolutionaryVision-pc3gw]

The ICJ prosecutes states and there's no stare called hamas. The ICC prosecutes individuals. Also SA doesn't think H are committing jenny side. They think Israel is committing jenny side so even if they could take them to court it wouldn't make sense for them to do so as H aren't committing jenny side

[@Crouchy232323]

I once met Jeffrey Epstein at a charity do. He was surprisingly down to earth and extremely funny

[@jonnyQ]

Why is this the headline when 3,000 people in our own country have died in one of the biggest scandals of a generation and was the main point of this interview?

[@tyromenobber-fb2ls]

The UK economy is now officially doing better than France or Germany and by some way. Also at least 15 EU nations wish to follow the UK Rwanda policy ...as EU begins to split. Holland, Germany , France ,Denmark etc ignoring EU directives.. Funny how things turn.

[@stiofain88]

Wrong thread.

[@countryside_guy]

The ICC is pointless, they can't go there and arrest him so why bother.

[@joecasey7415]

Mustn't interfere with anything Israel does.

We need an universe court to judge the ICC..... and we do ...God

[@IbrahimMohamed-kw7vi]

Mel stride needs to be in the dock at the ICC next netanyahu for complicity in genocide in gaza and also commiting human righs violations against the mentally ill; disabled and poor people in the UK
