We tried to bring an emergency motion about this to the #UKLabour Party conference last week but the Conference Agenda Committee apparently didn't think it was enough of an emergency.

A barrister is facing prison just for reminding a jury they have the right to vote with their conscience. This right has existed since 1670. We can't let it be silenced now. Please join me in asking the government to protect our juries: https://t.co/2DAHVjcUoo via @38degrees

During the #FIFAWorldCup, Saleem Al-Ashqar, Palestinian goalkeeper for Khadamat Khan Younis (Gaza), was assassinated by Israel while returning to his home.
Corrupt @FIFAcom must end its complicity and hold Israel accountable for its ongoing crimes.

WTF. Is this genuine? Is Elon Musk really using a Gmail address to thank his capitalist mates for buying shares in #SpaceX? If so, he has got the wrong person - I am NOT one of his shareholders.

Dying people want choice.

Together we can finish what we started - it's time to back the assisted dying bill again.

[Sue Blackwell @BrummieSue]

It is disgraceful that the Lords have filibustered this bill. The government must bring it back as a government bill and ensure that it has parliamentary time. #UKlabour

[Dignity in Dying @dignityindying]

This is not the end.

We won't stop fighting until every dying person has choice.

@hussedogru You need a good lawyer to challenge this. If you don't have anyone, you could try contacting ELSC to see whether they can help. https://t.co/rNKEQJPbSH

@crampling @ukinnl @UKintlaw As a British citizen living in the Netherlands I appeal to the UK embassy to take action on the prisoners currently on hunger strike and at risk of imminent death. It is a scandal that the Justice Secretary has refused to meet their lawyers or MPs.

Shame on Keir Starmer and the whole cabinet for letting it come to this. #Filton24 #StopElbit #BDS

[Harry Pettit 🇱🇧🇵🇸 @HarrygPettit]

We are outside the British Embassy in the Hague to show solidarity with the heroic hunger strikers. Free the Filton 24 now. Free all the political prisoners. And f**k Keir Starmer.

I just wrote a letter: Demand the government respond to Prisoners for Palestine. Write one here: https://t.co/ivjB4QZzR6

UK arms imported by Israel have doubled in 2025.

The UK is complicit in Israel’s genocide and apartheid of the Palestinian people.

According to the Guardian "A UK government spokesman said "It is completely unacceptable that this game has been weaponised to stoke violence and fear by those who seek to divide us". Dead right, only it's the Israel lobby who seek to weaponise sport to stoke violence and fear.

[Ayoub Khan MP @AyoubKhanMP]

Kier Starmer you owe an apology! And to all those that have been libellous wait for my letter before action!

@CasparVeldkamp Suspend EU-Israel trade now.

[Sue Blackwell @BrummieSue]

@kajakallas Suspend EU-Israel trade now.

[Ekō @Eko_Movement]

The EU claims to care about Gaza and human rights — but right now, behind closed doors, they’re backing down on real measures that could stop Israel’s crimes.

On Tuesday, July 15, EU leaders will vote on whether to suspend trade with Israel and finally hold it accountable.

They just struck a deal with Israel to allow some aid deliveries — and now they’re hiding behind that deal as an excuse for inaction on Tuesday. Don’t let them.

EU leaders: Suspend Israel. No more excuses.
