Today we release polling showing: 62% of Brits support economic sanctions on Israel, with only 11% opposed 65% support an arms embargo with Israel, 11% opposed 60% support suspending our trade deal, 13% opposed The majority is well ahead of Westminster. #SanctionsNow
NEW: 3 in 5 Brits would support sanctions on Israel, to exert pressure on it to stop its attacks on Gaza 65% would support a COMPLETE arms sales ban to Israel. And 60% would support an end to the trade deal between the UK and Israel. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…
Doing a trade deal with Trump is like gunboat diplomacy. Philippines seems to have given a huge amount - maybe they didn't even know they were giving it - but the terms are worse than April. FGS - you can't trust him. Stand up to Trump aljazeera.com/amp/news/2025/…
20 Years: Justice Denied. We’ll never forget the killing of innocent Jean Charles de Menezes & the Met’s lies and cover up. Proud to know this inspiring family and be part of their campaign for truth and accountability. It’s a scandal that the police can act with impunity
For every politician and journalist who supported Israel's onslaught, or stayed silent: This photograph should haunt you for the rest of your life. You will never scrub the shame away. No future achievement, however great, will ever erase what you helped inflict on Gaza.
⚡️🇺🇸🇮🇱JUST IN: Former GHF Aid Security Guard Speaks Out — “This Has to Stop”. A former American security guard with UG Solutions at Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) sites gave an interview to Israel’s Channel 12, exposing violent abuses against starving civilians at “aid…
The Daily Express is the most right-wing mainstream newspaper in Britain. It now has a better position on Gaza than the Labour government.
Contractor from Israel’s ‘aid’ distributor confirming his colleagues would fire at unarmed Palestinians who posed no threat. Sounds exactly like something from the Nazi concentration camps. And we’re just watching it. aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/…
🚨EMERGENCY ACTIONS THIS FRIDAY 🇵🇸 We will be laying a pot outside Downing Street for every Palestinian killed while queuing for aid in Gaza. Check our website for similar local actions happening in towns and cities across the UK. Tell Starmer: Stop Starving Gaza!
I was born in UK in 1961 WORST EVER CRIME that I have witnessed is taking place right now in Gaza, supported & enabled by @Keir_Starmer @DavidLammy @HFalconerMP and almost all of the British mainstream media The British people must STOP this abomination NOW Do NOT be SILENT
"the Israeli army shot at the desperate people looking for aid for their families. 79 people were killed.. these are incidents we see every day. I have no words to describe the shameful humanity we are witnessing every single day" Caroline Willemen from @MSF speaking from Gaza
In a narrow ruling the Supreme Court has said the government does have the right to keep trade talks secret. Deeply disappointing and dangerous. Starmer will talk to Trump this weekend. We have a right to know what is being given away. theecologist.org/2025/jul/23/br…
111 Palestinians including 84 children died of starvation in Gaza
Our government is complicit in this. I don’t know how anyone can ever vote Labour again.

Today, with @Imran_HussainMP and @PSCupdates I delivered a letter from 85 MPs and Lords from 9 parties to the Foreign Office, calling for widespread sanctions on Israel: ▪️ Sanctions on Israel's economy ▪️ A ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements ▪️ A full arms embargo
Front page of today's Daily Express. Even a very right wing tabloid newspaper is saying, Enough is Enough.
The Daily Express is a right wing British newspaper that spends most of its time bashing immigrants. That it has devoted its front page to the starvation of Gaza is a sign of how dire the situation has become and how impossible it is to ignore.
