Their demands are reasonable, their treatment is disgraceful. The government's intransigence is killing the #PalestineAction hunger strikers. Just as its complicity has assisted the genocide in Gaza. It needs to wake up right now to the moral consequences.

We do wonder at this stage whether David Lammy ever does any parts of his jobs either as a local MP or now as Justice Secretary...
More than 50 MPs and Peers have joined me in urging David Lammy to immediately meet with the lawyers of those on hunger strike.
The government needs to wake up, take responsibility, and show some humanity before it is too late.
