🚨1,500+ weapons companies are coming to Farnborough International next month for a horrific airshow and arms fair.

This arms fair brings together weapons companies, arms dealers, and government officials to make deals for war and genocide.

You might have seen this advert on buses in London...

It's for Farnborough Airshow, a grotesque exhibition of weapons of war and genocide.

This year, over 1,000 arms companies will exhibit including Elbit, BAE, and more genocide profiteers.

Moog, a US weapons company with sites across the UK, produces parts for Israeli M-346 aircraft used to train F-35 and F-16 fighter jets.

Tell your MP: no UK parts to train genocide pilots 🔗 https://t.co/ZN0GjsLYYA

The Chair of the Business and Trade Committee, Liam Byrne MP, has demanded answers from the Trade Department regarding UK exports of drone parts to Israel.

This comes after our research with @CAATuk which exposed how dozens of drone components were sent from Britain to Israel last year and were not re-exported as scheduled to Romania.

We also found that an airfield in the illegally occupied Golan Heights was being used to test the drones, indicating the UK exports were unlawful.

I’ve written to the Secretary of State for Business & Trade, backed by 60 colleagues, demanding answers after Belgian authorities seized two shipments of UK military equipment bound for Israel in March.

We need an arms embargo on Israel & full transparency on export controls.

🇵🇸🚨Over 60 Parliamentarians, led by @switherdenMP, have written to the Secretary of State for Business and Trade over the UK military equipment to Israel that was seized in Belgium.

BREAKING: The Court of Appeal ruled in the government's favour, stating that the Palestine Action ban is lawful.

We will not stop fighting for the ban to be lifted, the end of the use of terror legislation against us, and crucially, for a free Palestine.

[Campaign Against Arms Trade @CAATuk]

BREAKING: Palestine Action ban was lawful, court finds

The Court of Appeals has ruled in favour of the Home Secretary in challenging the previous court ruling that the ban was unlawful.

Palestine Action will remain a proscribed organisation.
