Really proud that Liverpool City council has unanimously passed a motion that supports “a permanent ceasefire and long-term settlement… and renew international efforts to find a lasting peace and a two-state solution.” 💜

NEW: The government hid from Parliament the Foreign Office's "serious concerns" about Israel's compliance with International Humanitarian Law in Gaza, according to newly-released court papers. This should be national news – and it should end arms sales to Israel. 🧵1/12

This must be a turning point. The International Court of Justice has ruled against Israel, ordering it to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza. Our government must heed this judgement, ending arms sales to Israel and demanding an immediate ceasefire.

🇵🇸🇺🇳✊🏽

Never forgive - Never forget. #DontBuyTheSun #JFT97

The Lancet - the most prestigious medical journal in the world - conservatively estimates that the death toll in Gaza could be 186,000 or more. That’s 8% of the population. I repeat my longstanding call for the UK government to immediately end all arms sales to Israel.

Today I am tabling an amendment to the King's Speech, calling on our new government to suspend arms sales to Israel and end the UK government's complicity in war crimes. Me for the The Guardian: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

When the far-right in Liverpool burn down their local library means they don’t care about the kids of this city, nor the country they are so passionate about saving. They are reflecting their own life issues and projecting it on their scapegoats to fix.

Here’s just a few examples of Daily Mail headlines that have fanned the flames of hate and normalised Islamophobic and anti-migrant rhetoric #GMB

Listening to most politicians & journalists, you’d think the far-right sprung up overnight and are not a well-resourced, organised and ideologically-driven movement. Defeating the far-right requires refuting their very politics — by distinguishing ourselves from them —with ours.

Muslims and migrants have been demonised by the press and politicians for decades. This racist, far-right violence is the culmination of that.

"We have hope on our side. Now we must build upon it." Spot on from Declan Mulholland tribunemag.co.uk/2024/08/despai…

Israel has no care for peace. Before denouncing this wanton escalation, the west will invariably urge restraint from every other quarter. History shows, if granted an inch, Israel will take a mile. Thoughts with the people of Palestine & Lebanon as they face this horror. 🇵🇸🇱🇧🕯️

After 15 months of genocide in Gaza, a ceasefire has been declared — but the US, UK & others must be held accountable for arming these atrocities. We’ll keep speaking out until the siege lifts, aid flows, schools & hospitals are rebuilt, the Occupation ends & Palestine is free.

‘I am standing on the threshold of another trembling world. May God have mercy on my soul.’

Silence is not an option.
