'Let me start with a statement that should be obvious: deliberately starving 2 million people – half of whom are children – is indefensible. It is not complicated, it is not a nuanced situation that requires a PhD to parse.'

Let's be clear, if any other group suffered this level of violence on a regular basis it would be a national scandal, questions would be asked in the House, and the Times and Telegraph would fill their opinion columns.
