UK’s Labour says would stop selling arms to Saudi Arabia 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersLONDON (Reuters) – Britain’s main opposition Labour Party would stop selling arms to Saudi Arabia if it was in government, its foreign policy spokeswoman said on Sunday after the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Saudi officials say he left shortly afterwards but Turkish officials and his fiancée, who was waiting outside, said he never came out. Emily Thornberry, Labour’s so-called shadow foreign minister, told the BBC’s Andrew Marr show that “the balance of evidence” suggested Saudi Arabia had killed the journalist. “We would stop selling arms to Saudi Arabia in current circumstances until they changed their ways …We would be making it clear that we disagreed,” she said.
