It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him.

The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK.

The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

The facts behind our work in the Channel.

In 2024, our crews launched 114 times to Channel crossings – that's just 1.2% of our total launches.

Our core purpose is to save lives at sea. Anyone can drown, but no one should.

Around 400 Palestinians, including dozens of children, have been killed while trying to get humanitarian assistance. I don’t recall these incidents (including this weekend) leading many papers or news bulletins. Are we really saying a few chants from a couple of musicians is more newsworthy or important? We have lost our bearings …

Please share if you want the children of Gaza to have food, water and medicine. Their fundamental rights! #LetAidIn #FreePalestine #Gaza

The west’s shameful silence on Gaza https://t.co/u0FcxQ881W | opinion

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, no water, no medicine. Children are starving.

Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza and put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups.

Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

Another day, another atrocity committed by Israeli forces.

We're horrified by reports that Israeli airstrikes have hit multiple camps for displaced Palestinian people, including children.

The UK must act now to end its complicity & suspend all arms transfers to Israel.

[MSF International @MSF]

No aid has entered Gaza for a month. Our teams have started rationing medications. We’re running out of anaesthetics and antibiotics for children.

The Israeli authorities must begin facilitating humanitarian aid at scale.

[Save the Children UK @savechildrenuk]

A message for @Keir_Starmer and @DavidLammy in today's Observer: The UK must not be an ally to Israel's atrocities.

With @MedicalAidPal and @christian_aid, we're calling on the UK Government to end its complicity.

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

All entry points into Gaza are closed. At the border, food is rotting. Medicine is expiring. Vital medical equipment is stuck.

If the basic principles of humanitarian law still count, the international community must act to uphold them.

[Helen Tighe @drhelentighe]

My son injured his face last week. I scooped him up and took him to a hospital where he was safely treated. It was still the most scared I've ever been. I cannot begin to comprehend what the children and parents in Gaza are suffering
