The system wants to move on. We mustn’t let it. Gaza should be a pivotal moment in British history — it exposes everything wrong with how we’re governed, and the illusion that Britain is a democracy. Me with @LauraPidcock in @declassifiedUK 👇

What a surprise to see Deborah Haynes, the head of the UK military and the chief of MI6 all aligned.
The Chief of the Defence Staff has warned the UK's 'sons and daughters' may need to be ready to fight, following a separate speech from the Head of MI6, who also warned of Russia's growing threat. Sky’s @haynesdeborah has more

The lobby is milking the Bondi Beach attack to silence critics of Israel’s genocide. Read my latest article here: https://t.co/ZcbyK36ngM

Britain’s compliant media were all given advance notice of MI6 chief’s speech and they all wrote it up like Pavlov’s 🐕

While all eyes are on Gaza, Israel has also been advancing the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the West Bank since October 2023. The close cooperation between the military and settlers has made killing, destruction and expulsion part of daily life. B’Tselem has documented

Britain’s chief rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, enthuses about the crimes against humanity being perpetrated in Gaza by what he calls “our heroic soldiers” – yes, if you or I conflated the Jewish people with Israel, we’d be called antisemites. He then reveals that his son, Danny, is

The hard right in Britain is very conflicted about free speech. It’s almost as if it depends on what your political view is.

It’s so gross watching the tail-wagging excitement of Israel supporters in response to the Bondi shooting. They’re so happy they have another rhetorical weapon with which to bludgeon pro-Palestine voices into silence. They can barely contain their glee. Netanyahu immediately

I am disgusted that the Israeli PM links Australia’s principled support for a Palestinian State with yesterday’s terrorist attack in Bondi. Australia has taken extensive measures to prevent anti-semitism
I wrote: "Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on the antisemitic fire. It rewards Hamas terrorists. It emboldens those who menace Australian Jews and encourages the Jew hatred now stalking your streets."

It’s disgraceful that voices like @GideonFalter – essentially a pro-Israel activist – continue to be a Go To for the BBC as representative of the broader Jewish community. Predictably he equates the appalling murders in Sydney with peaceful pro-Palestinian demonstrators, spouts

Five Palestine Action prisoners have been hospitalized as their hunger strike continues. All eight prisoners are refusing food to protest the UK government’s support of the weapons industry that fuels violence against Palestinian families. Two of the prisoners have now been

Britain often prefers war over peace, as in Ukraine. After all, war is one of the UK’s key comparative advantages in world affairs. https://t.co/FsYFoGjA69

Boris Johnson avoided promoting a compromise peace in Ukraine after Russia invaded. Now, Labour continues to help prolong the conflict to secure British interests.

The situation of the UK hunger-strike prisoners is now a clear danger to life. Parliament must hold an urgent debate immediately - lives are at risk!
David Lammy should come to Parliament NOW to address our urgent concerns about the well-being of Palestine Action prisoners on hunger strike.

Growing up in Britain, we’re told our leaders promote democracy, the rule of law and human rights overseas - that we’re one of the good guys, that we’re benevolent. That would be good. But it just isn’t true. And with Gaza the mask has truly slipped. https://t.co/VXOTlHXNws

The horror of Israel’s genocide exposes the UK’s oligarchic governance system, and implores us to transform our political system

The fact that defence secretary @JohnHealey_MP, who authorised spy flights for Israel, is going about his business as usual, while those challenging British backing for genocide are on hunger strike in prison, tells you everything you need to know about how we’re governed

One of the Palestine Action prisoners on hunger strike, Qesser Zuhrah, has been hospitalised. She's lost 13% of her body weight. I am urging David Lammy, the Justice minister, to get engaged now as this is a developing emergency.

It has been another devastating year, filled with loss, destruction and death. Through it, B’Tselem continued to gather information and record testimonies in order to document what is happening on the ground under Israeli rule and to give the public the clearest and most reliable
