It's no coincidence this Labour government, that demonises and impoverishes our disabled community, is also complicit in atrocities abroad.

Keir Starmer’s government has enabled genocide in Gaza — and now wants to funnel an extra £11 billion annually to the merchants of death.

Today is a day of national and international shame.

This famine could have been prevented, if only our government treated Palestinians as human beings whose lives were worth saving.

How can food be blocked yet arms still flow?

Reem Hamadaqa is among 70 Palestinian students accepted into Canadian graduate programs who are unable to leave Gaza due to the Israeli siege and genocide. The students are calling on the Canadian government to defend their right to education.

No second state visit for Trump
Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.  This is the...

You've been told over and over again that Gaza's official death toll is false.

That's absolutely right.

The death toll is in fact a drastic underestimate 👇

Thank @benandjerrys.bsky.social now and pressure other companies to - at a minimum - immediately end their complicity in Israel’s crimes and system of oppression!

If the Prime Minister will not speak up for the people living through a genocide in Gaza and under siege in the West Bank, then we absolutely must continue to raise our voices for them.

The government failed to confirm Netanyahu would be immediately arrested in the UK, despite an ICC warrant.

They admitted UK-made F-35 parts could violate international law, yet continue selling arms.

When will the government end its complicity in genocide & end all arms sales?

Following the ICC's arrest warrants, how can the continued sale of arms to Israel possibly be justified?

Israeli forces have bombed a residential building in Beirut, killing at least 11 civilians and injuring many more.

This massacre has been enabled by the US and UK governments who continue to arm Israel despite evidence of crimes against humanity.

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.

The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.

Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

Following the ICC's arrest warrants, the Independent Alliance have written to the Prime Minister asking if he will comply with the ruling.

The UK government must decide: is it on the side of Israeli impunity or international law?
