Is this BBC news clip meant to be a defense of his position because what he is saying is shockingly weak.
It's not a defence, it's a direct refutation of the idea that Starmer has failed to call an unethical policy unethical.

Well the initial accusation was that he (his spokesperson) refused to say that the policy would be cancelled, not that it was unethical. I don't think the two are equivalent.
I don't mind Starmer but I do think he came across as weak on that BBC interview. There seemed to be some unnecessary vagueness and equivocation, almost being lead by the interviewer. He could have condemned it in stronger terms right at the start.
I don't really understand why he struggled, it seems a pretty easy policy to be very strongly against.
