Darren Jones saying repeatedly the Labour Government won't comment on a hypothetical.

It's not hypothetical - Trump is saying very loudly repeatedly what he's done and boasting about it.

And yet the UK Government won't even say it's a breach of international rules. Shameful.

Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives.

He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza.

It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

As peaceful protestors are arrested for holding placards, starving Palestinians are being shot in the street.

This will go down as one of the most shameful moments in British legal history.

No amount of suppression can hide the truth: our government is complicit in genocide.

Open Meeting -7th July 2025 - Barnsley Borough City of Sanctuary Our next Meeting will be at 3pm -5pm on Monday 7th July 2025 at Barnsley Town Hall. New members and visitors are always welcome.

🚨Now: hundreds of thousands marching for Palestine in London 🇵🇸

🚨BREAKING: From today people who entered the UK by irregular routes will "normally be refused" citizenship, regardless of how many years they've built their lives, raised families & called this country home.

A heartless attack on people seeking safety.

The President of the United States welcome a leader wanted by the ICC and officially endorsed ethnic cleansing.

Now would be a good time for our government to defend international law.

If they won’t say it, we will: Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.

Ethnic cleansing is a war crime
