Quote:Keir Starmer makes Gaza ‘sausages’ gaffe in Labour conference speechArchived Guardian Article:
Prime minister’s slip of the tongue goes viral as he blunders making call for peace in Middle East
The Prime Purveyor of Pork.
'Keir Starmer was in full flow during his party conference speech when he made an unfortunate slip-up,
calling for the return of “sausages” from Gaza. The prime minister had just praised his “decisive government”
as one that was prepared to face the future, when he called for peace in the Middle East and the return
of Israeli hostages taken during Hamas’s attack on 7 October last year.
He will set off for the UN general assembly on Tuesday, and he told the conference about the message
he would take to New York.
“I call again for restraint and de-escalation at the border between Lebanon and Israel. I call again for all
parties to step back from the brink. I call again for all parties to step back from the brink,” he said.
“I call again for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the return of the sausages – the hostages – and a
recommitment to the two-state solution: recognised Palestinian state alongside a safe and secure Israel.”
The prime minister quickly recovered from the slip-up, which swiftly went viral. It did not appear to
overshadow his message that things would get better for Britain – a country that he said was “no
longer sure of itself” – if his government made difficult decisions now...'
Good news mate , the sausages are free !
