Sarah Sackman KC has been the Labour MP for Finchley and Golders Green since 2024 and is currently the Minister of State for Courts and Legal Services.
Sarah is a barrister by profession and was previously granted a scholarship to train at the Supreme Court of Israel in Jerusalem. Sarah has described the Israeli judiciary as ‘“a pillar of Israeli democracy.”’
Sarah practised as a barrister at Matrix Chambers alongside Richard Hermer (now Lord Hermer) who became the Attorney General for England and Wales.
In the new Labour government of 2024, Sarah was sworn in as Solictor General alongside Lord Hermer (Attorney General) and Shabana Mahmood (Lord Chancellor).
Sarah has been a member of Bnei Akiva - the largest Zionist youth movement in the world. ‘Bnei Akiva members now typically settle in development towns and settlements.’
In 2015, the same year that Jeremy Corbyn became leader of The Labour Party, Sarah became Vice Chair of the lobby organisation the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM).
It was complaints of alleged antisemitism in the Labour Party under Corbyn’s leadership that Margaret Hodge and the JLM submitted to the Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and which initiated the EHRC’s subsequent investigation. The late Sir Geoffrey Bindman KC declared these complaints to be ‘“almost entirely bogus”.’
Sarah is firmly opposed to the recognition of a Palestinian state. This would appear to be at odds with her membership of another lobby organisation, Labour Friends of Israel, which openly and continuously advocates for a ‘two state solution’.
Sarah also opposes the suspension of arms exports to Israel.
In an interview with The Jewish Chronicle in October 2025, Sarah spoke of the ‘ambient antisemitism’ that she believes has taken over parts of British cultural life - especially in ‘universities, public services…doctors…and schools’.
Sarah repeatedly stated in the interview that the ‘full force of the law’ should be applied in ‘rooting out “the oldest hate”.’
In discussing the current protests and assemblies in the UK, Sarah said that while protest is a ‘“cornerstone of our democracy”,’ it is right that the Public Order Act is being amended to restrict and ban ‘“repeat protests”.’

Peatlands are the world’s largest carbon store on land, providing valuable ecosystems for plants and animals. When we take peat for our gardens, carbon emissions are released and habitats are damaged.
