Recognition of a Palestinian state should not be conditional on the actions of the Israeli government. The right to self-determination belongs to the Palestinian people, not to an occupying power.
Breaking: The UK will recognise the state of Palestine in September, before UNGA, unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the situation in Gaza including agreeing a ceasefire

@davidlammy stated yesterday that a judicial review upheld the govt's decision not to enact a full arms embargo on Israel. But that's not the full story. The judicial review actually said that issuing an arms embargo is for the govt to decide, not the courts.

‘When Israel’s military operations in Gaza began in Oct 2023 I defended them. But now, 19 months later, I am horrified, filled with rage & despair & alienated from many of my friends who openly support extreme cruelty & ethnic cleansing’ - Jay Michealson

Critics were wrong that Israel’s actions in October of 2023 met the definition of genocide — but they are right in 2025.

Congrats to @theguardian.com for co-launching the #89PercentProject - reminding us that the vast majority want stronger #climate action. The climate denial of the populist right is the minority. Media needs to reflect this & Govts urgently need to act👇

Making concerned people aware their views are far from alone could unlock the change so urgently needed

Best wishes to all celebrating #Easter, which I believe is exemplified by @TentOfNations outside Bethlehem. The Nassar family, + all those involved in their farm + work, keep rising up, day after day, year after year, for reconciliation, peace, justice, + a better future for all.

Thames Water names US private equity (PE) group KKR as preferred bidder. Worst possible outcome. Water industry woes started with PE. PE business model: profiteering, asset-stripping, low investment. staff/wage cuts, tax dodging. Must nationalise. https://t.co/VKj84nRK75
