The UK must deploy every single lever to end the genocide in Gaza and stop the expansion of Israeli occupation. That includes ending all arms sales and military cooperation, imposing tough sanctions on all responsible for war crimes, and banning imports from illegal settlements.

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine.
And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide.
Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

As a lefty and queer woman MP who speaks up in support of refugees & LGBTIQA+ issues, I attract a lot of misogynist and homophobic abuse
Wish I was surprised, but it feels inevitable in this political environment, as the far right feels validated by other political parties dancing to their tune.

This means the UK has a legal duty to speed up the transition to a cleaner, greener economy and block any new licences for the extraction of fossil fuels.
