David Lammy's reasons for recognising a Palestine state as PM's deadline looms

Keir Starmer 's controversial decision to recognise a state of Palestine could lead to demands for the UK to pay more than £2 trillion in reparations to the country, legal experts have said. Sir Keir has said the UK will press ahead with the move , which is expected to be announced ahead of his visit to the UN this week, unless Israel meets certain conditions, including agreeing to a ceasefire in Gaza and reviving the prospect of a two-state solution.
