Bottom line: The best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour, so suggesting that the UK is complicit in the deaths of those journalists is a reasonable hypothesis to consider. The burden of proof is on you @Keir_Starmer.

Ensuring no hostages are present in advance of planned mass slaughter is the UK being complicit in mass slaughter and ‘ruling out the presence of hostages’ not ‘hostage searching’.

The MoD says these targeting flights are for hostage-search & legally overseen. The UK mapping out faces, locations and crowd movements almost every time Israel then goes on to drop bombs on those locations is not hostage searching.

Anas al-Sharif & journalist colleagues were killed in an air strike outside al-Shifa hospital on 10–11 Aug 2025.The UK’s sub-contractors learned to switch off their transponder by then, but should we assume the UK provided Intel that helped kill those Al Jazeera journalists?

Further proof that privatisation does not work well in most sectors, the UK contractors accidentally left their transponder on, on the 3, 4, and 6 Aug, i.e. more UK targeting activity in early August. Did the flights stop or just the mistake of leaving the transponder on?

On 28 July 2025 the UK’s 'Beechcraft King Air' left its transponder ON and was publicly tracked circling Khan Younis for hours.
Hours later, heavy Israeli strikes hit Khan Younis; investigative reporting notes the strikes occurred in the area the UK plane had been circling.

After negative publicity about RAF involvement, the UK’s surveillance flights were reportedly transferred to a US contractor (Straight Flight Nevada) on the 26/07/2025. The MoD hasn’t published full details but likely to have cost taxpayers 100s of millions.

Their action was non‑violent and aimed at disruption, not harm.

We need Palestine Action. We need immediate action on Palestine and the 'alleged' war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu

Thank you Palestine Action and fuck you Benjamin Netanyahu.

UK will treat a bunch of do gooders in Palestine Action as terrorists from midnight, despite the group's most aggressive act involved entering an RAF base on electric scooters & spraying red paint into two Voyager aircraft engines—a symbolic protest against genocide that we are complicit in.

Proscribing #PalestineAction is A Cruel Irony and a solid step towards fascism. Labour are paving the way for this country's march towards a right wing government.

Despite telling Parliament it would “restrict” arms sales, the UK licensed £127.6 million worth of military equipment to Israel. More in the last 3 months than the last 3 years.

UK arms manufacturers recorded record profits...more over the last 3 months than the prior 3 years.

🇬🇧 UK Complicity in Gaza Genocide
Since 3/12/23, RAF aircraft have flown 500+ surveillance sorties over Gaza—spying on roads, buildings, and convoys. Many coincided with Israeli airstrikes the next day, including 24 flights in the two weeks before the 8/6/24 Nuseirat camp bombing that killed 274.

There’s money. There’s always been money.
It’s about who we spend it on.

And right now, the UK is choosing Shell over disabled kids, the already rich over the safety net that protects us all.

WHAT LABOUR COULD DO INSTEAD:
✅ Support independence for disabled people
❌ Stop funding oil cleanup for billion-dollar firms
❌ Scrap “full expensing” — taxpayers buying oil rigs
✅ Close fossil fuel tax loopholes
✅ Raise windfall tax to Norway levels = £10–20bn/year
✅ Stop creating child poverty

7/
We’re spending more helping oil companies clean up
than supporting disabled children.

That’s not “fiscal responsibility.”
That’s cruelty — and it’s a political choice.

6/
THE MATH DOESN’T LIE:
💸 Cut PIP to “save” £5–6bn
➡️ People with disabilities and poor children pay

💸 Keep oil tax loopholes = £10.8bn
➡️ Shell, BP, and wealthy shareholders gain

5/
IN COMPARISON: THE PIP CUTS
Labour plans to cut PIP to “save” £5–6bn.
This will:

* Cost disabled people £4k–£6k/year
* Push 50,000 more children into poverty
* Hit places like Manchester City hardest, where child poverty already exceeds 50%

4/
WHO BENEFITS?
🛢️ Shell paid ZERO UK corporation tax in 2021 & 2022 — but still claimed relief.
🛢️ BP got tax breaks while making $27.7bn profit in 2022.
Profits go to shareholders — not UK communities.
