There is no ‘ceasefire’ in the Gaza Strip – Israel is still committing genocide against the Palestinian people.
The UK must hold Israel to account – rather than continuing to arm and trade with it as normal.

We strongly agree with @carladenyer.bsky.social on this one – the UN Climate Summit #COP30 must be about action, not just words.
That’s why, at COP30 we’ll be calling for a truly just transition to fairer societies built on renewable energy, well-funded public services and equality. 🌍

While most of us pay our fair share of tax, big corporations and the super-rich use tax havens to hide their money.

Israel is still committing genocide in Gaza.
Since the ceasefire deal & US President Donald Trump’s ‘peace’ deal were agreed, Israel has killed 100 Palestinians, blocked aid and destroyed more homes.
It's no surprise – the deals are deeply flawed and leave Israel’s power unchecked.
