Keir Starmer’s Labour government is prepared to let Palestine hunger strikers die.
We cannot allow that.
We must stand with the hunger strikers and immediate bail for the remand prisoners — now.

Edward Heath blocked US use of UK bases to defend Israel in 1973.
Harold Wilson resisted US pressure to send troops to Vietnam.
From the ’50s to early 2000s, the UK imposed full arms embargoes on Israel for breaking international law.

Slashing the nature-friendly farming budget would be catastrophic for the nature and climate crisis, and for our long-term food security.
What's more, it would leave the UK Government’s credibility on climate and nature in tatters.

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza.
Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians.
Stop arming genocide, now.

Growing reports show that Israel has been fomenting armed gangs to loot food supplies in Gaza and sow chaos — and it's killing those who attempt to stop it. But this strategy isn't new: Israel has waged a war on Gaza's civil government from the start.

If true, it would be a grave breach of the Ministerial Code — & raises urgent questions about whether Parliament was misled.
