"Mr President, in this migration debate, when I say we should seek to resolve and prevent conflict wherever it is found, and when my own party leader said in a speech last week of the whole international community that post-conflict planning had failed in Libya, both of these should carry widespread support.
Sadly, in the British election campaign, Conservatives chose to wholly falsely characterise this statement as attributing responsibility for deaths of migrants to David Cameron personally – something that neither Ed Miliband nor anyone else in the Labour Party ever said. I lament the fact that our opponents seem more worried by the vote count than the body count. In my country, when all parties come together to sing the royal naval hymn, ‘Eternal Father’, our lament should be a united one for all at risk:
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea!
On migrant deaths we should all honour those words."@en1
