Will you act now – decisively – to prevent genocide in Gaza and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law?

Israel has repeatedly defied the UN, its resolutions & international law. Member states must act.
Yet at PMQs, the Prime Minister said his government is “doing all we can” — except imposing sanctions, ending all arms sales, military support, trade & diplomatic ties with Israel.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.
I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

The government was right to welcome Ukrainian refugees fleeing war.
There is only one reason that people in Gaza, displaced by a genocide that our government abetted, are treated differently.
That reason is anti-Palestinian racism.

This is appalling. A major decision with profound implications for refugees can't even be debated in parliament. Because it's not primary or even secondary legislation it doesn't pass the attorney general's desk. Zero scrutiny. Zero accountability.
Urgent Question not granted so there will need to be other ways to debate this
It highlights the accountability gap: MPs passed a second reading of a bill which repeals a legal bar to citizenship. They have no formal powers nor any regular forum of oversight/ scrutiny of guidance changes

Grooming gangs and csa are weaponised as part of certain bad faith actors attempts to make them seem race, religion or "integration" based. They aren't. Main offenders are actually white anyway. When you make them about race you risk ignoring other abusers like these.

In pardoning all of the J6th insurrectionists, with barely a whimper of opposition, Trump has signalled a new age of acquiescence in American politics.
He's trying to control not just the present but the past. In effect, he was pardoning himself.
