This week I was delighted to chair the latest meeting of the Westminster Working Group for Sanctions on Israel.

We heard from Palestinian voices calling for an end to UK trade with Israel's illegal settlements.

MPs are working with campaigners to step up the pressure on the Government to do this.

There's an astonishing cruelty in trying to make the world even more hostile for trans kids by suing schools that want to include them. But that's where 'gender critical' Britain is.

We're acting for a school that is being sued - and we could really use your help with funding.

Really struggling to understand why the elected officials in the USA are doing nothing to stop the horrendous crimes being committed by their own people on their own people. Feel sick to my stomach that this is happening in 2026

"What can Democrats actually do?"

- Vote against funding for ICE and DHS

- State that any ICE officers who commit crimes under Trump will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law

- Encourage cities and states to refuse to cooperate with ICE

- Explain ICE is part of Trump's tyranny

Israel has not allowed the agreed-upon number of medical aid trucks into Gaza under October’s ceasefire deal, and has yet to give approval to thousands of people on waiting lists to receive treatment elsewhere.

A welcome - and long overdue - step. But while it’s necessary, it’s deeply insufficient - and must be accompanied by urgent action to help bring an end to the genocide in Gaza, including boycotts, sanctions and an end to all arms sales to Israel.
