Greens deputy leader calls for apology from Starmer over false claims that led to death threats Mothin Ali fears for his life after anti-war protest was wrongly described as being in support of Iranian regime

Starmer, Shellbrooke, Taylor should be ashamed.
Desperate, they know their time as MPs is up so they're lashing out hoping to score some political points.
@greenparty.org.uk is going to replace them!
The majority of the UK is with me, no more illegal wars!

'They will get me killed': Mothin Ali slams Starmer and Tory MP over smears in parliament Tory MP Alec Shelbrooke falsely claimed Green Party deputy leader had been 'protesting in support of the ayatollah'

Just when you thought Labour couldn’t get deeper down in the gutter, when Mothin Ali was subject to a false and blatantly Islamophobic attack by a Tory MP, Starmer went along with it

Our Victory in Gorton and Denton Is Only The Beginning The Green Party has proven it can remake our broken politics. Its message is resonating with working-class people across the country.

"Gorton and Denton were supposed to be one of Labour’s safest seats. If we can win there, then nowhere is off limits. A Green tidal wave is heading for parliament." tribunemag.co.uk/2026/03/our-... Hannah Spencer MP writing for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social

The govt must do more than express concern over the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements and settler violence in the West Bank - they must take action.

Ban trade with illegal settlements and impose new sanctions on Netanyahu and all responsible for this violence.

Thank you email for joining the Green Party

Thank you email for joining the Green Party

Just joined UK’s Green Party for a few reasons. Starmer himself suggested ppl like me leave the Labour Party when he assumed leadership. Request granted. But the Greens’ recent success & polling (and more importantly their policy goals!) show them to be robust & viable.

Absolutely not! What a terrible, terrible, polluting campaign from @libdems.org.uk

I support Labour's policy change (it should go further)

Vote Green to stop Reform. We've been saying it, Gorton and Denton demonstrated it, now it's confirmed by the polls.

Dear Prime Minister,
In recent days we have seen a deeply concerning escalation in conflict in the Middle East 
following a series of illegal and dangerously irresponsible airstrikes on Iran by the United States 
and Israel.
You have now confirmed that UK bases will be used by the US for their operations in the area. 
This is a significant concession to President Donald Trump and one which risks drawing the UK 
into a dangerous conflict.
During your campaign to be elected leader of the Labour Party, you spoke compellingly about 
learning the lessons of the Iraq war. In particular, you set out legislation you would pass as 
Prime Minister, ensuring that military action is only taken if:
β€’ The lawful case for it is made
β€’ There is a viable objective
β€’ Consent is given by the House of Commons.
We agree that such legislation is needed to prevent the UK from being dragged into destructive, 
illegal and dangerous wars abroad, and so we have today tabled the Armed Conflict 
(Requirements) Bill.
The Bill requires that
1. Before armed forces may be deployed for armed conflict, a Minister of the Crown must 
publish a statement setting out the reasons for the deployment, an assessment of its 
compliance with international law, the objective of the deployment and an assessment 
of the viability of that objective, and
2. Any such deployment must be approved in advance by a resolution of the House of 
Commons

I invite your support to pass this bill.
In an increasingly unstable world, it is more important than ever that decisions about the UK’s 
involvement in military action abroad are taken carefully, soberly, and with the best interests of 
the British people at heart. We believe this piece of legislation would ensure that.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Ellie Chowns MP

Today I tabled a bill which would require any UK military intervention to have a lawful basis, viable objective, and approval by MPs - legislation the PM once said he himself would pass when he was running for Labour leader.

He supported it then, and he should support it now.

The events of the past 48 hours have laid bare Keir Starmer's utter inability to stand up to Donald Trump - and this weakness could have serious consequences for the safety of British people.
