My statement on the government's absurd and authoritarian proposal to proscribe Palestine Action.

This goes beyond complicity - it is direct, active participation in genocide. Labour is training, arming and providing intelligence to a military that is committing atrocities and violating the basic principles of human rights and international law. It must stop now.
NEW: The UK is 'currently' hosting and training soldiers from the Israel Defense Forces despite genocide allegations, a Labour minister has admitted

Under this Labour government we’ve seen: ☑️ Austerity targeting disabled people, the elderly & children ☑️ Enoch Powell-style rhetoric & cruelty toward migrants ☑️ Unconditional support for arming Israel — a state committing genocide This is not the “change” people voted for.
BREAKING: Labour licensed exports of more military equipment to Israel in the final three months of 2024 than the Tories did for all of 2020-2023, new figures have revealed

We refuse to accept the normalisation of Palestinian deaths. End arms sales to Israel, now.

This man has been aiding a plausible genocide for over a year. Shamelessness and hypocrisy beyond all bounds.
This Holocaust Memorial Day, it is on all of us to make “never again” finally mean what it says: Never again.

Does that include the Palestinian people suffering genocide and being killed with British-made weapons, David?
To all of my constituents and everyone beyond, I wish you a joyful and peaceful break and a very merry Christmas.

Despite ICC arrest warrants & the ICJ's interim ruling, the UK continues to export components for F-35 jets, facilitates arms deliveries via RAF Akrotiri & conducts daily surveillance flights over Gaza. The UK is not a passive bystander to genocide. It is an active participant.

Israel is invading Syria. While committing genocide in Gaza, settler terror in the West Bank & bombing raids on Lebanon, Israeli tanks roll into Damascus. This is a system of oppression that knows no borders — yet the UK government parrots lines about “Israeli self-defence”.
BREAKING: Israeli tanks are near the Syrian capital of Damascus, Reuters is reporting, citing three security sources. Live updates: trib.al/DqOARMl 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu & Gallant for war crimes & crimes against humanity. The UK government must comply with the ICC, end all arms sales, impose economic sanctions & suspend its trade deal with Israel. Nothing less will do.

Francesca Albanese slams Starmer & the UK 🇬🇧: “Israel is committing a genocide. It’s not only me saying that. It’s hundreds of legal experts, historians, genocide scholars, including from Israel 🇮🇱 So why is the UK 🇬🇧 still trading weapons with Israel 🇮🇱” The UK is guilty.

Last October, the Prime Minister told LBC that "Israel does have that right [to cut food, water & power from Gaza]." Today, in the Chamber, he claimed he’s "well aware of the definition of genocide" & that's why he’s "never referred to [Gaza] as a genocide." We won’t forget.

"There is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes" - IDF Clearing out one ethnic group of people to replace them with another. The very textbook definition of ethnic cleansing. What more will it take for you to speak out?
Palestinians will not be allowed to return to homes in northern Gaza, says IDF dlvr.it/TG2dw1

Israel’s indiscriminate attack on Jabalia has killed over 50 children in 48 hours. Since last year, 16,700+ children have been killed & 20,000+ are missing. The UK is actively participating in genocide. Full arms embargo, sanctions & an end to diplomatic support to Israel NOW.

The UK government is not merely complicit in genocide by aiding & abetting; it is an active participant. It continues to sell arms that sustain Israel’s ongoing slaughter in Gaza & Lebanon, & provides unwavering diplomatic cover to a state committing unspeakable war crimes.
The entire population of North Gaza is at risk of dying.

Stop selling arms to Israel then.
Today @AngelaRayner and I met members of the Palestinian community in the UK who have lost loved ones in Gaza, alongside Dr Husam Zomlot, Head of the Palestinian mission to the UK. I am humbled by their immeasurable grief. This horrific suffering must end, there must be an immediate ceasefire, and Israel must let unrestricted aid into Gaza now.
