I've called on the newly elected UK Government to step up to its legal and moral obligation to #StopSendingArms to Israel. This is crucial to help secure a permanent and lasting ceasefire. Please take action too. https://t.co/fY7idh86xg
The UK government must drop any objections to the International Criminal Court seeking arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and defence minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes in Gaza, Palestine.
I urge all parliamentarians to support the ICC’s request.
Only the US & UK hadn’t restored UNRWA funding. I’m glad this is now being rectified.
But we can’t send aid to help people in Gaza & at the same time, sell arms to Israel that are killing innocent civilians.
We need to uphold international law & suspend arms sales to Israel.
With the Tories swept from power, Labour should take the opportunity to tear down their morally bankrupt legacy.
The FBU calls on MPs to back amendments to the King's Speech to:
🚸Repeal the two child benefit cap
🚰Bring water into public ownership
❌End arms sales to Israel
The far-right is on the rise across Europe.
They peddle a politics of hate.
We must promise a politics of hope:
Combating racism – not stoking it.
Defending refugees – not scapegoating them.
Building a society that works for all – not protecting a system rigged for the rich.
If you’re a grandparent and you intend to vote Conservative and force your teenage grandkids into National Service, I hope they never speak to you again. Needless to say the rest of us love our grandchildren and will be voting accordingly.
BREAKING
We said we would #DefendDemocracy...
AND WE'VE WON our case against Government anti-protest laws that completely ignored the will of Parliament
The FBU is aware that pro-Palestine protesters are holding further demonstrations in Leicester.
Previously, firefighters have been asked to assist the police in removing protestors.
The FBU advises all members not to be involved in law enforcement activities.
Mass graves have been discovered at Gaza hospital sites vacated by the IDF. Some bodies had their hands bound.
The government withdrew funding from UNRWA on the basis of unconfirmed allegations.
They continue to sell arms to Israel despite the continued atrocities in Palestine.
Where is the outrage now that mass graves have been found in Gaza?
Why don’t we know more about the bodies found with hands tied & clothing stripped?
Where is the wall-to-wall coverage of this?
Where is the international condemnation?
These are ongoing war crimes that are being committed. This has nothing to do with 'Israel's right to defend itself'. It is collective punishment, starvation as a weapon of war.
But our leading politicians refuse to call out their ally.

I was proud to be invited to join @NaamodUK outside the Foreign Office this morning, where we sent a message to the UK government:
End your complicity in war crimes: Send aid to Gaza, not arms to Israel.
🔴Did you know the UK is selling arms to Israel?
This makes it complicit in the killing of civilians taking place every day in Gaza. The UK must stop arming Israel immediately and take action for a #CeasefireNOW so enough aid can get in.

2.4m (100% of the population) in Gaza are facing starvation, many face famine and have died because of food insecurity
The US and UK backed Israeli war on Gaza and lack of humanitarian support are key drivers.
Gaza is being starved, whilst the world just watches. Ceasefire Now
Hey @RishiSunak@Keir_Starmer - did you see our cemetery at Westminster?
Government failure and cold homes have cost over 70,000 lives.
What will YOU do to make sure this NEVER happens again?
