Whilst Aid getting in must be the urgent focus, recognition of a Palestinian state is a minimum now. We can not say it is an inalienable right and then make it conditional on agreement from the Israeli Gov, some of whom have repeatedly called to annex the West Bank and now…
221 MPs, from 9 parties, have sent a joint letter to the Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary urging them to recognise Palestine as a state now
Steve welcomed me to Nomad, who are working to break the cycle of homelessness, not just by providing housing but the tools vulnerable people need to achieve independence and stability.
That people are being killed as they search for food?! There are simply no words. 💔 I'm so very sorry for your loss
Saeed Naji Zomlot, the cousin closest to my heart, was killed by Israel. We last spoke four days ago. Saeed told me his children were starving and he had no choice but to go north of #Gaza in search of food. I asked him to be careful. He went—and never came back. Today, the…
Great to welcome Minister Thomas, Under-Secretary of State for Services, Small Business and Exports, to Sheffield Central to visit the British Business Bank, the hub for cooperatives Aizlewood’s Mill, and host a roundtable with local small business owners. Sheffield is home to…
The IDF has killed starving Palestinian civilians trying to get aid. Settler terrorism and talk of imposing the illegal E1 settlement plan are flagrant attempts to prevent a Palestinian state. There is no justification for this. A two-state solution is the only path to peace.

A powerful moment that will be remembered in history
Fidèle à son engagement historique pour une paix juste et durable au Proche-Orient, j’ai décidé que la France reconnaîtra l’État de Palestine. J’en ferai l’annonce solennelle à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies, au mois de septembre prochain.…
Dozens of Gazan students with scholarships to UK universities are trapped in a deadly limbo. I’m urging UK Ministers to evacuate them from Gaza immediately, like other countries have. My office is collating student details – get in touch at [email protected]…
We marched in Tel-Aviv - hundreds of Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel - against the starvation of Gaza by our own government. We carried bags of flour, as well as photos of Gazan children, who are literally dying of hunger. The war and the siege must end now. 🟣
Israel is carrying out war crime after war crime in Gaza. The UK must act – enforce a ceasefire, impose sanctions on Israel, recognise Palestine, and end the blockade on Gaza. Inaction is a moral stain on our national conscience. There is no neutrality in the face of this…
After the environment has suffered and people foot the bill for waters companies’ failings, this is a welcome move from the government. But we must keep going to enact real change. Water is a natural resource and should be under public ownership – not for making profit…
As Vice Chair, and an MP serving a constituency with two universities, it’s great to launch the APPG for Students Commission on Students in Higher Education. Working with several students’ unions and the NUS, the national student voice is central to this Commission, which…
Glad to see the government is taking action to ensure that we hear the truth and, above all, justice is given to those affected
Promise made. Promise delivered. This Labour government is establishing an inquiry into the violent confrontation between police and picketers at Orgreave.
More than just a space, youth hubs like Adventures at Highfield are a vital ingredient of a community. Children can find safety, build practical and social skills, and forge lifelong relationships. Parents gain invaluable peace of mind, knowing their children are nurtured, safe…
"We hope reporters will cover these incidents with the same scrutiny GHF receives because understanding the full picture is essential..." Then, let journalists have access to Gaza. They will scrutinise all "incidents" with the independence and rigour needed
We’re deeply saddened by reports that more than 30 people were killed while trying to access food from a UN convoy at the Zikim crossing in Northern Gaza as humanitarian efforts face escalating violence. Like most violent incidents, this incident is not linked to GHF, despite…
Every day now. Every day. We're talking now thousands of Palestinians injured, and more than a thousand killed, while seeking food in recent weeks, since this 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation' began operations. Complete travesty.
BREAKING: At least 67 Palestinians have been killed and scores more injured while waiting for aid in Gaza, according to hospital officials Read more ⬇️ news.sky.com/story/at-least…
At the Act Now: Change Forever lobby for climate and nature, I spoke with my constituents and people from across the country about the urgent action we must take to meet the UK’s 2030 climate and nature targets. — Better access to home insulation — More sustainable and greener…
The rain didn’t stop us! 🌧️💪 Brilliant effort from our @UKLabour volunteers and amazing local councillors Tom & Laura, always working hard for Walkley. Huge thanks to the residents who stopped to chat 🌹❤️☔️
"Food is power" is such a revealing phrase. It's not the way that humanitarian organisations think: it's how Israel thinks. It lays bare that GHF is purely a system to politicise and militarise aid.
In Gaza, food is power. That’s why GHF’s secure, direct-to-civilians model is a threat to Hamas. It prevents looting, protects aid workers, and gets food where it’s needed fast. It’s working, which is exactly why Hamas is now scrambling to shut it down. They’re spreading…
