179 Palestinian health workers are being held in secret detention by Israeli forces. We are witnessing the systematic destruction of the Palestinian health care system. We stand with them. Will the UK government and medical institutions? #FreeGazaMedics #StopArmingIsrael

179 Palestinian health workers are being held in secret detention by Israeli forces. We are demanding their immediate release. Medical Institutions, you are supposed to represent us. Why are you silent?

We are calling on the government to create a system that offers real solutions, giving those with lived experience a seat at the table. Working with Amnesty UK, we heard from people with experience of #homelessness to find out their priorities for The Labour Party 👇

The UK Government’s decision to suspend some arms licences to Israel is filled with loopholes and does not go far enough. Continuing to supply F35 fighter jet components for Israel is a catastrophic failure for arms control and justice. Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have already

As our CEO said earlier it's not just a "risk" of war crimes being committed by Israeli authorities, there is "considerable evidence". The UK Government’s decision to suspend some arms licences to Israel is filled with loopholes and does not go far enough. #StopArmingIsrael

The dangers of combustible cladding at #Grenfell were known and avoidable, but the companies involved thought they could get away with cutting corners – they must be shown that they cannot. The people affected by Grenfell need justice now.

🚨 Tragic news. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the people who have died trying to reach safety. Too many lives have been lost in the Channel due to government inaction. We need safe and legal asylum routes. People’s lives must come first.

Last week, 179 healthcare workers gathered at St Thomas’ Hospital to demand freedom & justice for the 179 Palestinian healthcare workers secretly detained by Israeli forces. These healthcare heroes should be saving lives, not being detained. #FreeGazaMedics #EndIsraeliApartheid

🚨 11% of UK households are experiencing food poverty, including 17% of children. Our social security system doesn’t provide enough support, driving the need for food banks. We need a plan from the government to ensure everyone can afford the essentials.

Thousands are marching in London today to #StopArmingIsrael, for a ceasefire & against Israeli apartheid. For years, anti-protest powers & rhetoric have chiselled away at our right to protest. But we know protest works for human rights progress.
