Labour hypocritical over foreign policy, say campaigners

PEACE campaigners criticised Labour’s “hypocritical and muddled” approach to foreign policy after a keynote speech by Ed Miliband on the issue yesterday.

In his address he accused David Cameron of being partly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of migrants in the Mediterranean by failing to plan for the aftermath of 2011’s air strikes on Libya.

He said Mr Cameron was wrong to suppose that the country could recover from the ousting of Muammar Gadaffi without more outside help — claiming its descent into chaos “should have been anticipated and could have been avoided.”
