🚨 | BREAKING: We're calling on the UK government to:
🔴 Recognise Palestine now
🔴 Suspend the Israel trade deal
🔴 Ban imports from illegal settlements
🔴 End all licenses for arms traded with Israel in line with International Law
🔴 Sanction individuals who promote and commit war crimes
Statements aren't enough. There's no time to waste.

The great Tony Benn was born 100 years ago today.
Tony was a much-loved friend and supporter of the DMA and our communities for more than five decades.
He spoke @DurhamGala more times than anyone in its long history. (1/4)

I have found out in a news article, that I’ve not had the Labour whip restored which was removed for voting to scrap the 2-child limit.

I want to be clear: I will always stand up for the people of Poplar & Limehouse.
