Keir Starmer avoids calling US killing of Iranian schoolchildren a war crime

Stephen Flynn, Scottish National Party MP, asked Prime Minister Keir Starmer if he believes the American strike that hit a primary school and killed 110 schoolchildren in Iran is a war crime. Flynn posed the question after criticising Starmer for allowing the US to use UK air bases in the Middle East.

Starmer responded by saying “we’re all concerned by that footage” but then fired back at Flynn and accused him of not being concerned about Scottish citizens in the region.
