✊ It's time to stand up, speak out, and do what it takes to end this catastrophe. This week we told the UK: stop fuelling the crisis in Gaza. But it’s not over — the call for justice must grow louder. We won’t be the generation that stayed silent while Palestine suffered.

The UK Government has suspended UK-Israel free trade talks and committed to further restrictive measures — but it’s not enough. The time for further action is now. End arms sales to Israel. No weapons. No complicity. Not in our name. #StopArmingIsrael #CeasefireNow

Ours is a compassionate country. The Chancellor’s arbitrary commitment to stop using hotels to house asylum seekers by 2029 and return them to countries that are often unsafe will come at a cost of untold human misery. Such individuals need not deadlines but fair hearings.

Another week of protest outside Parliament this morning as Oxfam and other organisations ask the UK Government: where is your Red Line on Gaza? Is it targeting children, or shooting hungry people getting aid, or killing healthcare workers - enough is enough. #RedLineonGaza
