Cosmetics brand Lush has temporarily closed all its UK stores in solidarity with Gaza.

MEND strongly supports this bold decision and hopes other companies will follow suit, setting a powerful moral example & keeping the pressure on Israel to end its genocide.

Cancel the flight until the Lessons Learned Review is published and its recommendations implemented, or risk repeating the Windrush scandal.

Over 170 colleagues and I wrote urging the Prime Minister to act.
