The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.
The problem for @DavidLammy is: 🇬🇧 UK supplies weapon parts to Israel including parts for F-35 fighter jets which kill children 🇬🇧UK supports Israel with the RAF including intelligence and surveillance 🇬🇧 UK still invites and hosts senior Israeli military personnel in the UK 🇬🇧…
Spoke to the Foreign Secretary this morning about the situation in Gaza - here's a brief clip...
It was an honour meeting the legendary John Fallon during my time as FM, he continued to be active in his beloved Blantyre over the decades. Sad to hear of his passing, my thoughts with his family, friends and community.
Sad to hear that Blantyre's own Lisbon Lion, John Fallon, died today. @HumzaYousaf and I were delighted to meet him at @BlantyreSoccer a year or so ago. He was an absolute gentleman. Condolences to his nearest and dearest. RIP. YNWA 💚
It's an indictment on the state of humankind that when people post pleading with the world's powers to stop children from being starved and killed, somehow it can provoke not only controversy but opposition. Our future generations have every right to condemn us for this failure.
The apathy being shown towards footage of children dying and people starving is heartbreaking and should transcend any ideology. There are people in power who could surely stop this. This is all. (2/2)
I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.' Below are some brief highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Here's the full eye-opening 'debate': youtube.com/watch?v=2S-WJN…
After every genocide people ask "how could fellow human beings commit such horrendous crimes against one another?" The answer is always the same - because the victims were dehumanised. Everyone should be outraged & demand their Government stops its complicity in this genocide.

Many children in Gaza need evacuation for treatment. Without it they will die. We're ready to save the lives of as many kids as we can. But we need the UK Gov to work with us. I want to work with the PM to save the lives of Palestinian children. itv.com/news/2025-07-1…
Every…single…day… @DavidLammy @Keir_Starmer
Every single day, starving innocents are being massacred. How many more thousands have to die before our Western governments take firm action? At least 32 Palestinians killed in Gaza as IDF fires on crowds seeking food. Witnesses say scenes near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid…
Absolute silence from so many Christian politicians in the West. They rightly deplore attacks on Christians across the world (as do I), but are silent when their fellow Christians are being massacred in Gaza. Proof, if ever it was needed, that Palestinian lives do not matter.
Two Palestinian Christians have been killed by the Israeli attack against the church in Gaza. Another crime. More victims. Lord have mercy!!
On what is happening in Brussels 🇪🇺: 1/ "Historic" would be a meeting leading to the end of the genocide, the dismantling of Israel’s forever-occupation and apartheid, and the beginning of justice and accountability— in line with int'l law, and as per ICJ and ICC proceedings.…
Today’s EU–Southern Neighbourhood meeting feels historic. Israel and Palestine are around the table. And for the first time in 11 years, Syria is there too. My doorstep ↓
Is there honestly anyone out there that still believes this isn't a genocide? Israel has become a rogue nation, slaughtering children with impunity. To world leaders: your words are no good, your condemnation is worthless, the children of Gaza need action and they need it now.

A 17-year old who idolised the far-right has pled guilty to terrorism charges as he planned to commit mass murder against Muslims at Inverclyde Muslim Centre. How is this possible when Reform, Tories and the far-right, keep telling me that Islamaphobia is just a hoax?
🚨A 17-year-old boy who idolised Anders Breivik and Hitler, and was radicalised by far-right TikToks since he was 13, today plead guilty to planning to carry out a mass murder at the Inverclyde Muslim Centre. Distressing details in this story. thenational.scot/news/25307003.…
Kneecap, Bob Vylan and Glastonbury are not the story. The mass slaughter of innocent men, women and children - including while queueing for aid - is. The fact that the UK Government continues to be complicit by selling Israel weapons is completely and utterly indefensible.

Just when you think Netanyahu and the IDF can not be more depraved they sink to new depths. Slaughtering innocent children who were queueing for nutritional supplies. What red lines need to be crossed until the world acts? If you are defending this, have a word with yourself.
We’re appalled by the reported killing in Gaza today of children and women waiting in line for nutritional supplies provided by UNICEF’s partner organization, Project HOPE. The killing of families trying to access life-saving aid is unconscionable.👇 unicef.org/press-releases…
A priest, a professor and a nurse walk into a protest and get arrested. This is not a joke. This is Britain. In 2025. Why are the free-speech warriors who decry "cancel culture" now so conspicuously silent? Ah right, because it's okay to cancel those resisting a genocide.
Thank God for Baroness @HelenaKennedyKC - a sane, measured and utterly convincing legal voice on the mass slaughter of the Palestinian people: "I have moved to a position where I now believe we are witnessing a genocide taking place before our eyes..I was very reluctant to go…
.@HelenaKennedyKC: ".. where you force people.. into a concentration camp..." Interviewer: "You use the words concentration camp, do you mean that, because our understanding of concentration camps is surely very different from this" "Why?"
Israel's latest plans aren't for a "humanitarian city" but an internment camp. We are meant to believe the Government that murders with impunity is concerned with humanitarian care of the very people it slaughters? These plans are the architecture of genocide & must be opposed.

20 years ago I took part in the movement to Make Poverty History, as the G8 met in Gleaneagles. 20 years on and aid budgets have been slashed. 32 African countries spend more on external debts than they do on healthcare. I support @sciaf's urgent call for debt justice 👇
Now, much overseas aid has been slashed and many of the world's poorest countries are crippled by debt and the climate emergency. It's the most vulnerable people who are affected: women, girls, and disabled people. Read the full story: pulse.ly/25alwwwqae
This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.
