Once again the UK govt condemns Israel's actions and says they are prepared to take further action - then fail to do so. This inaction is unacceptable. Ban settlement trade, sanction Netanyahu, stop all military cooperation with Israel, punish war crimes.

Our current first-past-the-post voting system is hugely undemocratic, allowing a political party to secure a massive majority of seats on a minority vote. We need to introduce proportional representation now to ensure every voice is heard and every vote counts.

I’ve just been at the “Trump Not Welcome” demonstration in London, standing alongside people from across the country to tell the govt that a leader who abuses his office to enrich his family and fan the flames of racism, xenophobia, and misogyny is not welcome in the UK.

Lawyers, genocide scholars, the ICJ, & the UN Commission of Inquiry state the Israeli govt's actions in Gaza amount to genocide - so why does the UK maintain there is no plausible risk of genocide, in the face of overwhelming evidence? Why does the UK continue to be complicit?

Marwan Barghouti is a powerful unifying voice for Palestinians who could potentially play a crucial role in securing meaningful and lasting peace in the region. Imprisoned in Israel since 2002 without a fair trial, his immediate release must be secured.

On Monday, Trump ran roughshod over intl law. UK took no action. On Tuesday, Trump threatened a NATO ally. UK took no action. Today, the UK supported Trump's military operation in the North Atlantic. When will this govt stop appeasing Trump and stand up for the rule of law?

It could not be more clear that Russia poses an immediate threat to our democracy. The govt must take this threat seriously, cracking down on dirty money in politics in the upcoming Elections Bill & conducting criminal investigations into Russian interference in our elections.

Since I became an MP I have repeatedly urged the govt to act for Gaza: recognise Palestine, impose an arms embargo, stop military cooperation, ban settlement goods, push for ceasefire & aid, and hold war criminals to account. This isn’t politics, it’s humanity. The UK must act.

Every day we watch as the US and Israel breach intl law with seeming impunity, wreaking chaos and devastation on the world stage. This cannot continue. The UK must take serious action and make clear we will not be made accomplice to Trump and Netanyahu's illegal aggression.

If you're wondering how seriously Starmer takes the responsibility of PMQs, today he chose to completely dodge my question about water pollution and support for farmers - and instead rant about America, nuclear weapons, and cocaine. Utterly ridiculous behaviour.

Time and time again we hear govt ministers condemn Israel's flagrant breaches of international law but take no real action. This is simply not enough. Ban settlement trade, stop all arms sales to and military cooperation with Israel, and pursue investigations into war crimes.

5 peaceful climate protesters are facing an excessive sentence under the undemocratic Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022. I’m calling on Labour to repeal the Conservatives’ repressive anti-protest laws which undermine our obligations under international law.

A quarter of the average UK energy bill last year was profit for the big energy companies. Meanwhile, almost three million households in England suffer fuel poverty. No one should be choosing between heating and eating while energy companies rake in billions.

The UK must stand unequivocally against the reckless and illegal action taken by the US and Israel against Iran - publish the initial legal advice on the American/Israeli strikes and commit to a vote in the Commons before any UK involvement in this war.

While the Home Office wastes resources arresting people peacefully opposing genocide, the rise of the far right, fuelled by racist agitators and foreign billionaires whipping up hatred in our communities, continues unchecked. When will the govt get their priorities in order?
