📘 Out now: shorturl.at/juF8i

💥 New-builds generally = 0% VAT. Refurbs generally = 20%.

This broken tax rule rewards demolition over reuse, fueling 🏚️ waste, carbon & community loss.

We’ll soon be releasing resources 📚 for activists and lawyers ⚖️ to prepare for and respond to any future flotilla missions 🚢 on behalf of British nationals 🇬🇧

🚨 UPDATE:

We have formally threatened the British Government with legal action over its failure to protect British citizens unlawfully detained by Israel following the interception of the Thousand Madleens humanitarian flotilla.

🚨URGENT🚨
We’ve sent a letter to the Foreign Office, Yvette Cooper & MPs' Will Stone and Tonia Antoniazzi to act now to protect British nationals/their constituents on the Gaza flotilla

@yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social @willstonemp.bsky.social @neilduncanjordan.bsky.social @tonia-antoniazzi.bsky.social

We've asked for urgent reconsideration.
This is about accountability, not symbolism.
