The debate around military conscription in the UK is rising.
Forcing young people into service deprives them of choices and would be a colossal waste of funds during a cost of living crisis.
Add your name to tell the government to rule it out!

🚨British-Palestinian surgeon Dr Ghassan Abu Sittah has blasted Sky News for "racially othering" Palestinians.
He noted how the UK media refers to Israelis as "hostages" and Palestinians illegally held by Israel, including children, as "prisoners"👇
More of Starmer's ministers (8) are members of Labour Friends of Israel than of any other group besides the Fabian Society (excluding unions).

No coverage of our story in the mainstream media — even after the MoD admits to 17 flights to Israel.
MoD denies sending “lethal aid” to Israel and refuses to provide detail of the cargo or personnel on the flights. https://t.co/wCOpfSiURG
It’s no surprise no UK mainstream outlet reported our breaking story yesterday — they’re not there to inform people.
We’re trying to provide public interest journalism, with minuscule resources.

Thank you @DrRosena for this information. We’re updating/amending the article as we find new info.
Our primary information is from MPs who signed the EDM's tabled on 17 Oct & 7 Nov, which you didn’t. But we’re aware of other MPs opposing the ceasefire. We will update this.
NEW: Hundreds of students at the London School of Economics have walked out of lectures, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Organisers say this is the first of more than 15 student walk-outs planned for the next two days.
We've updated our Hall of Shame. 94 MPs now back the EDM calling for a #Gaza ceasefire.
We've also amended the article to reflect that 18 Labour MPs we have been made aware of, have called for a ceasefire but not signed the EDM.
Over 80% of MPs continue to back bombing.
👉NEW -- Hall of shame: We name the 549 MPs backing Israel’s bombing of Gaza after over 10,000 Palestinian deaths.

Only 93 MPs in Westminster currently back a parliamentary motion calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.

👉NEW - Gaza is but the latest shameful episode in British foreign policy
by @NortonTaylor
Due to its imperial past in Palestine, Britain has a moral obligation to help solve the current war in Gaza -- but it's contributing to the abuses.
