As we speak, people are being slaughtered in Gaza and Lebanon. Our demands on our governments have not changed: stop enabling genocide and end all arms sales to Israel.
We are a global movement, made up of all faiths and backgrounds, united in our opposition to racism and hatred. We will never abandon hope in a more equal, sustainable and peaceful world.
Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history.

It is an honour to be re-elected as the MP for Islington North.
Our victory is a glimpse of a different future, which puts the interests of the many over those of the few.
And it is a warning to the new government: that hope for a better world can never be extinguished.
It has been the honour of my life to represent the people of Islington North.
It would be an even greater honour to be re-elected as your Independent MP.
Let's make history, together. Vote Independent!
