🚨NEW: After a months-long investigation, we can reveal that a British national who posed in front of a burning school in Gaza fought for Israel and may have participated in war crimes. An exclusive with @declassifiedUK colleagues: declassifieduk.org/revealed-…

To be clear, the legal obligation on British government to act to prevent genocide does not require it to accept that it is a genocide, it only requires knowledge of a "serious risk" of genocide. To say we'll wait for ICJ decision is a failure to comply with the law.
‘Once you accept it’s a genocide, states have to act immediately.’   Andy Burnham won’t call what’s happening in Gaza a genocide, @NickFerrariLBC asks @HZomlot why not.

Yesterday in Parliament, the new Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband promised to introduce a “comprehensive reset” of UK policy on Israel in the coming weeks, and that ministers would be listening to Palestinians who say, “The time to act is now”. Any shift in policy must ensure the UK meets its obligations under international law, which includes ending all support for Israel that may directly or indirectly enable its illegal occupation, as Omar Barghouti rightly explains. 1/4 theguardian.com/world/2026/s…

"Rather than charting a principled course grounded in justice, accountability and international law, Starmer’s administration has stubbornly resisted demands to end British complicity in and contribution to Israel’s continued violation of Palestinian lives and rights." 🔗 Read the BPC's full statement on Starmer's resignation below ⤵️ britpalcommittee.co.uk/state…

Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country. Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza. That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind. The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.

An event is planned to be hosted in London proudly promoting the sale of land on illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. This is obscene. I've called on @MayorofLondon and @YvetteCooperMP to stop the event and for this govt to take real action on illegal settlements.

"One year has passed since eight of our Palestine Red Crescent teams in Gaza were killed while saving lives. A full year without accountability. We continue to demand justice for our colleagues.
