PRESSURE GOVERNMENTS!

An Israeli Heron drone is actively circling the #Handala.
We are currently at coordinates N 31.990316° E 32.802406°, 90 NM from Gaza and beyond the point where the #Madleen was illegally intercepted.
You can help safeguard the 'Handala' and its crew as they sail to Gaza - NOW. World governments have failed to uphold international law. They have failed Palestinians. They have let humanity down. Call them to account. We need people of the world to tag their foreign ministry accounts. Demand they offer protection and safe passage to their citizens aboard 'Handala' doing what Governments should be doing - delivering humanitarian aid and breaking Israel's illegal siege of Gaza. The British government has a responsibility to protect their citizen, Chloé Fiona Ludden, from Israeli or NATO interception of any kind while she sails to Gaza on board the ‘Handala’. The vessel carries unarmed civilians and humanitarian cargo, including baby formula and other life-saving aid for Palestinians in Gaza. It poses no threat and is operating in full accordance with international maritime, humanitarian, and human rights law.

Scott Arthur MP brought the #RareCancersBill to Parliament after losing his father-in-law to a rare cancer.

“Everyone knows someone impacted… it’s time we did something about it.”

He stands with families across the UK facing these devastating diseases.
Text reads: "The #RareCancersBill will: Connect patients to research. A national registry will match rare cancer patients to clinical trials." Text reads: "The #RareCancersBill will: Enhance orphan drug incentives. Ensure life-saving treatments reach patients." Text reads: "The #RareCancersBill will: Champion rare cancer research:Appoint a named person in each nation to provide leadership and advice for the delivery of rare cancer research.

Our findings show that while many patients speak positively about the treatment they receive at specialist centres, too many face unacceptable delays in diagnosis, unequal access to specialist care, and a lack of research investment.
A woman with blonde hair in a grey jumper sits thoughtfully by a train window, looking outside. The image highlights healthcare accessibility challenges with text stating "Patients in rural areas and lower-income families face the greatest challenges" and "Specialist centres out of reach." The Sarcoma UK "Unique Among Cancers: Sarcoma Review Needed" campaign branding appears in the bottom right corner. A young woman in a white top lies on white bedding, gazing upward with a contemplative expression. The image addresses psychological support gaps with text stating "Many patients and families are left without the psychological help they need" and "Mental health support is lacking." A researcher in safety goggles and blue gloves carefully handles a pipette with purple liquid in a laboratory setting. The image emphasises research funding needs with text stating "Few new treatments are on the horizon. Investment is needed now" and "Sarcoma research funding lags behind." A teal background with medical imagery shows the campaign's call to action, stating "We're calling on the UK Government and the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to urgently review sarcoma services and implement the report's recommendations. Patients and families can't wait any longer."

We’re proud to release Unique Among Cancers - Sarcoma UK’s most comprehensive review ever of sarcoma treatment and services across the UK, built on insights gathered directly from patients, families, and professionals.
Hands holding an open report titled "Unique Among Cancers" against a teal background with medical imagery. The text emphasises this is "Sarcoma UK's most comprehensive review yet" calling for "urgent changes needed for people affected by sarcoma." The campaign's distinctive branding is prominently displayed. A thoughtful man in a blue checked shirt rests his chin on his hands against a warm, indoor background. The image conveys the lengthy diagnostic journey with text stating "Many see multiple healthcare professionals before finally being referred" and "1 in 3 patients wait more than 6 months for a diagnosis." A young woman with long red hair wearing a patterned top looks directly at the camera with a serious expression. The image addresses diagnostic disparities with text explaining how "women, young people and those with rarer subtypes" face "misdiagnoses and delays" because "referral pathways often fail." A person wearing a polka-dot headscarf and grey cardigan lies in bed holding a mobile phone, representing a patient during treatment. The text emphasises the need for research investment, stating "Few new treatments available" and calling for better treatment options for patients.

Every person aboard the Madleen is a hero.

The genocidal Israeli state's attack on unarmed activists aboard a UK-flagged vessel delivering aid to Gaza is a flagrant breach of international law.

The UK must sanction Israel, end all arms & surveillance, & expel its ambassador.

🚨 URGENT: Gaza Freedom Flotilla Under Attack 🚨

The trackers are not emitting properly. Communications are being corrupted. An interception or attack may occur really soon.

The Freedom Flotilla is bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza and needs our support NOW.

🇬🇧 Under international law, the UK must:
• Prevent genocide
• Reject Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza
• Defend its flagged ship from unlawful attacks

Support us by taking action!
Contact the Foreign Office & your MP. Demand protection for ‘Madleen’ & accountability for any aggression. ..3/

Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.
