Today I'm presenting my new Sanctions on Israel Bill in Parliament. It sets out the steps our Government must take following the International Court of Justice's ruling including: ▪️Sanctions on Israel's economy ▪️A ban on trade with Israeli settlements ▪️A full arms embargo

"In the last two months, over 770 Palestinians have been slaughtered and nearly 5,000 wounded by Israeli fire queuing for food for their starving families" Let’s Keep Our Focus on Palestine – @LouRegan1 @LabourOutlook labouroutlook.org/2025/07/14/let…

In recent weeks, media focus has shifted away from the brutality being carried out against the Palestinian people on a daily basis. @LouRegan1 @PSCupdates calls for renewed solidarity and renewed focus to keep Palestine on the agenda. labouroutlook.org/2025/07/14/let…

Ahead of the election, expectations of the Labour Government on Palestine were incredibly low. But one year on, even their most fervent critics would have found it difficult to believe just how low they could sink - writes Hugh Lanning @LabourPalestine labouroutlook.org/2025/07/06/lab…

The order published today by Yvette Cooper to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group lists them alongside the Maniacs Murder Cult & Russian Imperial Movement/Legion. To compare a protest movement like PL with these violent, murdering terrorists is beyond all credibility

“What the group need is people speaking out with such a loud, shared, voice that the state does not dare use the powers it has taken.” Barrister David Renton explains why the proscription of Palestine Action is a direct attack on our right to protest. labouroutlook.org/2025/06/26/tak…

“This is a flagrant abuse of anti-terrorism powers to target peaceful protesters." The Stop Trump Coalition condemn the government's plans to proscribe Palestine Action as a shameful attack on our right to protest. labouroutlook.org/2025/06/24/def…

“So long as UK-made components continue to power the jets that level buildings and kill civilians, the charge of complicity remains unshakeable.” Still Complicit: The UK Role in Arming Israel’s War on Gaza – @benfolley labouroutlook.org/2025/06/23/sti…

“The UK has the capacity to act. It could propose a suspension of Israel’s access to F-35 parts. "But in the face of American political support for Israel, Starmer remains reluctant to raise the issue.” - @benfolley in @LabourOutlook labouroutlook.org/2025/06/23/sti…

"Is preserving 'US confidence' worth the cost of destroying Britain’s international credibility and Labour’s moral standing?" ✍️ICJP Director and Head of International Law at Bindmans LLP @Tayab_Ali_ writes in @LabourOutlook labouroutlook.org/2025/06/13/uk-…

Pleased the Police have decided not to prosecute. If marching in a peaceful protest has now become even considered potentially to be a crime in our country we have entered a truly worrying political moment. Rest assured I will continue to march for Gaza until the genocide stops.

Today, the police informed @jeremycorbyn & @johnmcdonnellMP that no further action will be taken against them, following a Palestine demonstration on January 18th. This is a victory for the right to demonstrate for Palestine 🇵🇸 Full statement below 👇

Demonstrations in defence of our right to protest have been called by the Palestine Coalition in July. @STWuk @PSCupdates @CNDuk and others will mobilise against the targeting and arrest of protest leaders. Solidarity with @BenJamalpsc & @ChrisNineham. labouroutlook.org/2025/06/12/pal…

“We cannot condemn atrocity while simultaneously fuelling the machinery that enables it.” Gaza has become a slaughterhouse and the UK continues to arm the Israeli Defence Force, writes @switherdenMP labouroutlook.org/2025/06/05/gaz…

“Starvation is deployed as a weapon. Aid is blocked to collectively punish civilians. All the while, Israeli airstrikes rain relentlessly on hospitals, homes, and schools.” In Gaza, starvation is deployed as a weapon – @ApsanaBegumMP labouroutlook.org/2025/05/29/in-…

Settlements are building Palestine out of existence 🇵🇸 “The examples of America, Australia & elsewhere of the ruthless elimination of indigenous peoples by settlers are being directly mirrored by Israel’s use of settlements to colonise Palestine” READ ⬇️ labouroutlook.org/2025/05/30/set…

“Our Motion called on the Co-op’s Board to ‘show moral courage and leadership… and take all Israeli products off the shelves.’” Co-op members have spoken – the Co-op has to stop trading with Israel – @pauljneill labouroutlook.org/2025/05/27/co-…

“The hypocrisy is glaring. Widespread sanctions are rightly imposed on Russia for its illegal invasion, yet are refused when it comes to Israel. We must change that.” @RichardBurgon is bringing a Bill for widespread sanctions to stop the genocide in Gaza. labouroutlook.org/2025/05/20/let…
