David Lammy: ‘We need to normalise our relationship with Europe’
The TelegraphToday, Lammy tells me that he believes the Parliamentary Labour Party, made up of Labour MPs, is completely behind Nato, even though Corbyn’s leadership of the party only ended in 2019, and many of his Left-wing allies remain on the backbenches. And I’m really pleased that that has been reasserted and is crystal clear right across the Parliamentary Labour Party,” he says. “The first thing we wouldn’t be doing is ping-ponging around and we have seen a lot of ping-ponging since 2010,” he begins, referencing how the Tories have gone from the declared “golden era” in UK-China relations under David Cameron, to Liz Truss planning to dub the country a “threat”, to Rishi Sunak’s softer “robust pragmatism”. “I don’t want to inflame tensions,” he says, amid warnings China will make a military move on land they claim sovereignty over in the years ahead.
