Last week, we took a major step forward in establishing a public, independent inquiry into the UK's complicity in the Gaza genocide.

I have written to the Prime Minister to ask for assurance that this inquiry will be established.

Iconic photo by SebastiΓ£o Salgado of miners at Serra Pelada, Brazil β€” hundreds of men climb and descend the steep, muddy walls of the gold mine, their bodies forming a human mosaic of labour and struggle. The image captures the overwhelming scale of hardship and misery. Shared as a tribute: β€œSalgado is gone. His images will remain and keep asking: Did you see? Did you care? Rest in peace.”

At 2.28pm yesterday, David Lammy told parliament the UK was suspending trade negotiations with Israel given the "appalling" situation in Gaza.

4.5 hours later, at 7pm UK time, another UK spy plane took off in aid of Israeli intelligence to surveil Gaza.

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza.

Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians.

Stop arming genocide, now.

That is what our government is enabling β€” and it should be eternally ashamed.
