In September, the Foreign Secretary told Parliament that the Government would ban the advertising of illegal settlements in the UK, declaring that the promotion of settlement land at a London property event must never happen again. Yet, there are reports that organisations linked to illegal Israeli settlement expansion and the displacement of Palestinians are due to exhibit at World Travel Market London over the course of this week.
We write to challenge the Government’s failure to intervene in accordance with the promises they themselves have made.

Andy Burnham said Labour “got it wrong” on Gaza, then refused an inquiry into how. He will not name Israel’s genocide. The truth belongs to us, the people. We are not going anywhere.
40,000 more and MPs must debate it. Sign: https://t.co/z1WOZQpsWX
100,000 signatures secures a debate in Parliament on this. Please add your name to support this critically important initiative. https://t.co/oo0mAsOOZg
Please RT this until Burnham's Labour Govt finally lift Yvette Cooper's proscription which results in thousands of good people arrested as terrorists just for holding placards.
Thank you.
Author Benjamin Moser on Israel's election: "There were also elections in apartheid South Africa, there were elections in French Algeria, there were even elections in the Confederate States of America... We're talking about really who's going to run the concentration camps."
The Canary will be closed for the foreseeable future.
As of today (Monday 19 October), the Canary will be closed indefinitely.
After multiple attacks this year, from Lloyds debanking us to former employees spreading malicious lies on social media, the situation has become unsustainable, both financially and operationally.
After 11 years, we take this action with deep sadness and regret. The extent of the lies, defamation, and harassment by ex-staff - coupled with the constant attacks by the state and those who’d see us destroyed - has become too much.
However, it is not over. This week, we will publish what really happened at the Canary and push back against the vicious campaign against our team and us.
We may be down, but we’re not out yet.
Mothin Ali – apology and Correction
On 18 July 2024, I published a post on my X account in which I stated that Mr Mothin Ali, an elected official and Deputy Leader of the Green Party, was involved in the Harehills riots of July 2024 in which people attacked the police.
That statement was incorrect. In fact, Mr Ali was asked by the police to use his position of trust in the community to help bring about peace on the streets. Mr Ali attended the scene for that purpose alone. He was not involved in the disorder or violence in any way, and on the contrary he was one of the principal reasons of bringing an end to the disorder. I offer my sincere apologies to Mr Ali for my post, the harm I caused, and I have agreed to pay him compensation to vindicate his reputation.
Alex seems to have made a mistake and posted his court mandated apology in the middle of the night, so I thought I'd help him out with a repost this morning.
I'm sure he wants the most people to see it as possible.
Beyond devastated to hear that @ori_goldberg has died.
I interviewed him throughout the genocide.
He was the best of us.
A man of moral courage, moral clarity, consistent humanity, and always incisive analysis.
An exemplar of the great tradition of Jewish humanity.
En EEUU, un racista contrató a unos trabajadores latinos para que le cercaran su patio con costosas vallas de madera... pero cuando terminaron el trabajo, llamó a ICE para que les deportaran y ahorrarse pagarles.
Sin embargo, no salió como el racista esperaba, los trabajadores eran legales, volvieron a su casa y le arrancaron valla por valla de madera en su cara, deshaciendo el trabajo. Puro karma.
