Forget Scottish independence, I think the UK needs independence from Westminster because the divide between the British people and the government has never been bigger.

[poplarboydavid]

It’s sickening the corruption inside parliament!!

[apostatepaul]

He’s quite right. It’s utterly shameful. Disgusting.

[joegunner]

More than shameful. It's like seeing someone dying on the street, and you are debating with someone whether you should call an ambulance or not.. if those children that are dying right now were French, British, or Americans, there will be no debate. Shocking what is happening. Absolutely inhumane and cruel beyond belief.

[SiobhanIreland]

Oh ma gawd. 30, 000 dead palestinians including this mans family and they are still asking do you condemn hamas. Jfc shameful

[thruknobulaxii]

I’ve never felt so disgusted with the political class in this country. Or so ashamed of the actions of my own nation. Or so completely fed-up with hearing about what Israel needs.

[SteveWx]

Shameful. And a boost for Scottish independence.

[Carlos]

Gone are the days of decent politicians such as Tony Benn, Gerald Kauffman etc. These lot only care about money and power.

[petegoestubular]

Never voting anything but Green now. I don't care if it hands the Conservative Party a win, I'm voting with my conscience and never for war criminal Kier Starmer.

[campervannation]

The embassador has more common sense than all our politicians put together 😊

[candelariadelazar]

Ambassador, my heart feels your efforts and your pain. May Allah reward you and your people.

[charliecroker]

Shameful. I recall a time when I used to look up to politicians, this current batch can only treat with contempt. Not worth voting for any of them.

[AntJD]

He's right; it's scary that the whole world is watching and nobody (Exc South Africa) is standing up for the supposed rules we all agreed to follow when they are clearly being broken over and over. The UN/Nato should be rolling in with a full "peacekeeping" army and putting an IMMEDIATE stop to this absolute travesty. Our government is complicit and should be thrown out for allowing war crimes to be commited while providing continued support to the aggressor.

[ellenomahony]

Amazing, brave man speaking the truth for humanity

[michaelfrcttthebeach]

Shame on the western governments
SHAME

[bahialynch]

Disgraceful is a mild word. Criminal is apprpriate

[jerryakehurst]

No Andrew, it did not "start" on October 7th 2023 - and you know that. It is quite disgusting to hear you infer such provocative nonsense in this interview.

[Mrpjm]

I'm a UK citizen, pay lots of tax, and these politicians simply don't reflect my view (and reading the comments many others). We need to see an immediate cease fire, and a real effort to provide aid to all those poor families in Gaza.

[jake]

Andrew marr.who backed the liar johnson over Jeremy corbyn. We won't forgive or forget. You are part of the problem. 😢
