There’s something almost Trumpian about the way the Minister for Justice is characterising the cause and impact of this dispute over criminal legal aid:
Minister criticised for claiming criminal courts running ‘effectively’. https://t.co/5FTSlFLHH4
Recognition of the state of Palestine should not be used as a bargaining chip. It should have happened months ago. We also need far greater action to stop the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, including fully ceasing arms sales and implementing sanctions against the Israeli cabinet.
Israel's announced "tactical pause" in Gaza is desperately insufficient while it commits genocide against Palestinians, who are facing the catastrophic conditions Israel deliberately engineered. There must be an immediate & sustained ceasefire, and an end to Israel’s genocide.
So little, so late, President @vonderleyen :
After you have given Israel 21 months a free pass in Gaza, it will take more than words to prevent Israel from completing its genocidal mission and overt ethnic cleansing campaign. And even more, to repair what's left of the EU credibility.
🚨 BREAKING: A paramedic in Gaza was seen driving an ambulance while attempting to revive an infant injured in an Israeli massacre, amid overcrowded conditions and a deepening humanitarian crisis.
Israeli forces continue to intensify their bombardment of homes and tents sheltering families.

Israel's genocide in Gaza is continuing unabated.
Over a month since the introduction of its militarized aid distribution system, the catastrophic suffering continues, and Israel continues to use starvation of civilians as a method of warfare against Palestinians in Gaza and to deliberately impose conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction.
Israel must lift all restrictions and allow unfettered, safe, and dignified access to humanitarian aid throughout Gaza immediately.
🚨BREAKING: A father bids farewell to his two children, Waleed and Leen, who were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting a vegetable stand in Al-Nuseirat camp, central Gaza.
Food should never come with gunfire.
Over 500 Palestinians have been killed and 4,000 injured under Israel’s militarized distribution scheme in Gaza.
This is not a humanitarian response.
More than 170 organizations, including @Amnesty, are calling for an end to this deadly system and a return to principled, UN-led humanitarian access.
Powerful words from Historian @DalrympleWill on Gaza and on why Britain is implicated in the situation there. This was introducing our fundraising event for @MedicalAidPal (see link to donate in comments) in London on May 30th, 2025. @saadmohseni@khalidabdalla
Day after day - scores murdered by these war criminals.
Today a cafe bombed with over 30 dead mostly women and children.
Yet still Western media and governments rush to give them cover.
