The political class in Britain has closed ranks in support of Israel as it strikes against the Palestinian population. They are silencing dissenting voices and targeting protest movements in solidarity with Palestine. My piece for @openDemocracy opendemocracy.net/en/israel-pale…
Fulfil international legal obligations to prevent, punish & end complicity in genocide. Apply immediate & comprehensive sanctions to a state committing war crimes. End the repression of your own citizens trying to stop the unimaginable horrors being inflicted upon the people…
The horror in Gaza must end. We're stepping up our humanitarian efforts with new healthcare, food and water for Gazans. We need an immediate ceasefire now, the release of all hostages and a surge in aid.
A tipping point has been reached. Gaza is now starving to death in front of the whole world. Those who facilitated and justified this abomination were given ample warning for 21 months. You have no excuses, and nowhere to hide: you will be held to account for what you've done.

Jean Charles was pinned to the carriage floor and seven bullets put in his head at point blank range. Everything the police said afterwards about that encounter was a lie.

That is 600,000 people!
#BREAKING One-third of Gaza's population has not eaten in several days, WFP report shows
We've seen photos of Palestinian children whose hair has turned grey because of the fear and trauma. They are not the only ones. The Western war on refugees they make continues.
Gov decides to use unproven tech to age assess asylum-seeking children, offering child protection if a computer thinks their faces look old. AI models to be trained on images of young people. Presumably not y.p. from Middle East + Africa, aged by trauma. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…
Release the hostages. Until then, starve away. (This is all a lie anyway. It amazes me that the media continues to regurgitate Muslim terror propaganda.)

🚨"Without immediate intervention, the last reporters in Gaza will die", reports AFP. "Along with a few others, they are now the only ones left to report what is happening in the Gaza Strip... We refuse to watch them die", it continues.
Government may as well let Farage cut a key for No. 10 now if new stories like these keep being published.

If the UK’s daily surveillance flights over Gaza — running since the very start of this slaughter — aren’t supporting Israeli military operations, then what are they for? Does Lammy seriously expect us to believe we’re spending millions monitoring Gaza for no reason?
This morning David Lammy was asked on BBC Radio 4 about the RAF spy flights over Gaza. “Information from surveillance flights is not being handed to Israel then…?” His response: “We are not assisting and would never do that…” Not just a war criminal but a liar too.
🚨BREAKING: An Israeli sniper shot a young man at Gaza’s port while he was livestreaming on social media.
Twenty years ago today, Jean Charles de Menezes was assassinated at Stockwell station. Head of the Met Police, Ian Blair, was made a Lord. Cressida Dick, who led the operation, was promoted to Blair's position.
“Gaza is an experiment by the mega-rich trying to show all the peoples of the world how to respond to a rebellion of humanity; they plan to bomb us all.” -Colombian President @petrogustavo at The Hague Group Summit
The building opposite Labour HQ has been covered with a large scene of devastation from Gaza, in protest at both the war and the approach to protest in the UK. Stunt by @ByDonkeys
This will keep happening at a faster and faster rate until someone breaks the siege and stops them. Do @Keir_Starmer and @DavidLammy not understand how they're going to go down in history? The UK is far more complicit than most other countries
In a heart-wrenching tragedy, 12-year-old Abdeljawad Al-Ghalban died this morning in Gaza due to severe malnutrition and the lack of basic nutrients like protein, milk, and calcium amid the ongoing Israeli war of starvation in the region.
Wow
Extraordinary scenes in the Commons tonight as Tory MP @kitmalthouse correctly accuses UK foreign secretary David Lammy of complicity in Israel’s crimes and warns him that he could end up in The Hague
