Yvette Cooper’s refusal to condemn Israel’s airstrikes in Gaza last week, which killed more than 100 Palestinians, should remind us all of Labour’s complicity in Israel’s genocide. #c4news

I have written to Lisa Nandy, following her grossly misleading comments over the Maccabi Tel Aviv ban.

This is about a group of fans with a history of racism and violence. It is not about banning Jewish people - and any attempt to conflate the two is shameful.

66 people were arrested outside the Labour Conference yesterday for peacefully holding signs with “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action” written on them.

Hundreds of police officers were used to try to enforce Labour’s absurd ban. They failed to arrest everyone.

Excellent intervention from the heckler during a speech from Labour Friends of Israel representative, Rachel Reeves. Starmer’s pro-genocide Labour Party are a disgrace. #lpc25 #FreePalestine 🇵🇸#LabourConference2025 www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

I’ve written to Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper demanding urgent action to ensure the safety of the Global Sumud Flotilla. 52 boats carrying aid and peace activists to Gaza.

The UK must act to assure their safety.

Israel is committing a genocide. All eyes are on this flotilla.

Dear Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary,

I am writing to you with urgency regarding the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which is currently attempting to bring desperately needed aid to Gaza. The flotilla is made up of 52 boats, carrying humanitarian supplies and peace activists determined to support civilians facing unimaginable suffering.

Reports have already emerged of explosions, unidentified objects being dropped near the vessels, drones circling overhead, and communications being jammed. These are deeply concerning developments. We know from past experience that when Israel smears peace activists with unfounded claims of links to Hamas, it is often a precursor to violent attacks.

The UK Government must make it absolutely clear that these boats, carrying only aid and peaceful activists, must be treated safely and in line with inte

Yesterday, the largest far-right protest in UK history marched through London, led by racist Tommy Robinson.

Today, we say: They don’t speak for us — and they won’t have the last word.

This Wednesday we come together against Trump and for a better future. Do everything to be there.

Good to see Israel’s weapons manufacturer, Elbit, has closed its factory in Bristol. Palestine Action has been more successful with their work than Starmer’s pro-genocide govt. 🇵🇸https://observer.co.uk/news/national/article/labours-poll-tax-moment-hundreds-of-arrests-at-palestine-action-protest

Contemptible displays of aggressive behaviour from the Met during their mass arrest of peaceful protesters holding Palestine Action placards in Parliament Square earlier. The current Labour govt is ultimately responsible for this mess, of course. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Yvette Cooper & her vile Labour govt are mostly to blame, of course. The Met & their North Wales police pals displayed utter stupidity, though, with their determination to arrest all peaceful Palestine protesters in Parliament Sq today. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸
