David Lammy’s latest joke is to back ethnic cleansing

David Lammy, the foreign secretary, was set to deliver his first major foreign policy speech at the Kew lecture on Tuesday, which was highly anticipated by his office. The event was promoted with a video showcasing Lammy walking through Kew Gardens, accompanied by uplifting music. In his speech, he emphasized the connection between global stability and climate stability, arguing that wars and terrorism are symptoms of the climate crisis. However, the reality of climate change poses significant challenges to achieving this stability. Prior to this, Lammy faced a more immediate challenge when he appeared on a Sunday program with Laura Kuenssberg, where he had to address pressing local issues, indicating that his focus was not solely on international matters. This shift in focus highlights the complexities and demands of his role as foreign secretary, especially in a time when both local and global issues are intertwined and require urgent attention.
