Lib Dem Cllr, Cabinet Member Public Health and co-ordination with NHS @WiltshireCouncil. Prev Chair @LDFP. Snr Benefits Mngr @NHSE. Tweets personal views.
@LibDems, Netanyahu’s pic is missing from this graphic; he’s influencing Starmer and therefore this country to be complicit in his war crimes. No wonder people are protesting.
@LDFPalestine
Our democracy is under threat from powerful men outside our country who wish to destroy it.
Our plan would cut the strings of foreign interference in our politics.
So much for Starmer and Cooper’s respect and support for international law which they claim underpins their foreign policy.
Was there ever a government whose actions so contradicted their words?

👉NEW -- Lobby group taking journalists on propaganda tours of Israel
by @jmcevoy_2
Amid the systematic killing of Palestinian and Lebanese journalists, one organisation has been quietly bringing British media workers to Israel.

Liberal Democrat Friends of Palestine remain committed to defending the right to protest, and to making clear the Lib Dems’ long-standing support for peace, justice, and self-determination for Palestinians under international law.

🟥 Bombing negotiators in Doha.
🟥 Reacting to recognition of Palestine with more annexation and mass killing.
🟥 Murdering tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza.
🟥 Starving children by blocking food and medicine.
🟥 Levelling entire neighbourhoods with airstrikes.
🟥 Burning olive groves and seizing land.
🟥 Raiding refugee camps.
Killing journalists and aid workers.
🟥 Targeting hospitals, schools, churches and mosques.
🟥 Arresting children, raping and torturing detainees.
🟥 Settlers attacking with state protection.
🟥 Politicians openly calling for extermination.
🔷 If you still don’t understand what Israel is, you’re choosing not to see the nature and character of Israel - This is settler-colonialism and genocide.
Another BBC fail. This is about recognising Palestine but no direct quote from one single Palestinian or even a supportive group. What is the UK's Chief Rabbi being quoted for? He is not even Israeli.

🧵 Recognition of Palestine by major states is not a reward for Hamas.
It is recognition of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination under international law.
To suggest otherwise is pure Israeli propaganda and a distraction from Israel’s occupation, annexation, and genocide.
UK recognition of the State of Palestine was a promise made to my great grandfather decades ago. While on its own, recognition won’t solve anything without further action, it is a down payment on peace. Today we have just a little more hope, and hope is contagious.
I'm boycotting the state banquet to send a message to both Donald Trump and Keir Starmer that they cannot close their eyes and wish away the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Donald Trump can stop this catastrophe in Gaza and get the hostages released.
Today will be the day that Labour properly lost support.
Arresting pensioners whilst enabling genocide.
Using the police to suppress political opposition.
Indefensible.
There will come a time when the history books record that the British government arrested hundreds of people under terrorism laws for speaking against Israel’s genocide in Gaza
Names will be remembered.
This will be the lasting legacy of the Starmer, Lammy, Cooper government.
