Work and pensions secretary Mel Stride discusses the infected blood scandal, the International Criminal Court (ICC) seeking an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu and the government's aim to get people back into work.

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.
  • '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 😂😂😂😂
  • @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
  • @nizamixiii
    Our work and pension secretary works for another country.
  • 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.
  • @travisr82
    Vote them out , the other lot are only fractionally less useless though
  • @carcav13
    WHY WHY WHY DO THE TORIES STAND BEHIND ISRAEL?
  • @carlryoo8811
    Lets get rid of international law if we want to pick and choose. Let the world descend to anarchy.
