A reminder that according to a Yougov poll from last month (18.06.2025):
55% of British adults oppose Israel’s actions in Gaza (only 15% support)
And 45% of British adults think Israel is committing a genocide.

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

They've attacked pensioners, the world's most vulnerable by cutting the aid budget and now they want to cut disability benefits.
This Labour Party was elected on a promise to support disabled people, not punish them.
Now is the time for Labour MPs to stand up and be counted.
