Labour foreign policy feels generally pretty on point

This shows why you should ignore any new article that has the phrase “refuses to deny” or similar in. There’s been desperate drums from certain quarters in the press over the last 24 hours trying to get some discord or furore over the UK government’s response.
“Country that respects international law will respect international law” isn’t really a juicy story though. We are signatories to the ICC, we will obviously respect it. It’s not for us to decide, or even particularly weigh in on, the innocence or guilt of anyone issued an international arrest warrant. That’s literally what the court is there for, to take such matters out of the national sphere.
