Just when you thought the Labour party couldn't annoy another sector of the Labour faithful along comes Ange with another knockout blow!

We're literally millimetres away from being swamped in the UK by a mindless ICE type mind set inflamed by the right wing press and Reform UK. And the only party really vocally resisting it is the Green Party's Zack Polanski. #BackZack for GP leader!

Dear Prime Minister, 

I am writing to urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to request that the Speaker recalls Parliament from the summer recess immediately to permit an urgent debate on the UK government’s response to the Israeli security cabinet’s decision to prepare to take control of Gaza City, and the broader plan recently passed by the Israeli cabinet. 

This is not a routine foreign policy disagreement. The reported security cabinet decision, together with the stated principles to β€œprepare to take control of Gaza City” and to impose long-term security control and demilitarisation, signals a major escalation that risks further catastrophic civilian harm across Gaza. Such a plan is yet another declaration of intent from Netanyahu’s government to commit breaches of international humanitarian law. The government must treat this with the urgency and seriousness that the possible breach of treaty obligations demands. 

Under the 1948 Genocide Convention the UK has a clear and binding duty to both prevent and punish genocide. Where there are credible grounds to believe that actions or policies by a foreign government risk causing genocidal acts or facilitating conditions for genocide, the UK must urgently assess its legal obligations and consider immediate measures to prevent further harm.

Introduce targeted sanctions on all members of the Israeli cabinet directly responsible for approving plans that foresee a prolonged occupation or other measures risking large-scale civilian harm in Gaza. 

Use the UK’s diplomatic weight with allies to press for an immediate ceasefire, unimpeded humanitarian access, the safe release of hostages, and an urgent international inquiry into allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. 

The risk that the UK could be failing to meet its obligations under the Genocide Convention is an issue that demands parliamentary accountability and public scrutiny. The consequences of delay will be measured in countless innocent lives lost. 

For these reasons I request both that you write to the Speaker today asking him to recall Parliament, and that your office publish the steps you intend to take in response to this grave development. 

I am, of course, available to meet to discuss this further. 

Yours sincerely, 

Ellie Chowns MP 
Member of Parliament for North Herefordshire

I am calling for Parliament to be recalled immediately in light of the Israeli security cabinet's decision. We must hold the UK govt to account and secure urgent action to alleviate sufferingΒ inΒ Gaza.

So another ex senior security chief interviewed by the BBC says he doesn't think the UK applying sanctions would make any difference. Why do you think he'd say that? What if UK & EU struck together & banned all arms sales, all commercial trading & cultural exchange & closed Israels embassies eh?

The above math and logic behind the American idiot population is great food for thought. Multiply that number by the advent of the internet and Fox propaganda. The final figure confirms the GQP MAGATS tenacity in maintaining the political idiocy that keeps their bullshit afloat.

But Hey! Cooper knows they are are because an ex Cheif of Staff of the Army whose now a major profiteer in the arms industry says so, just like she didn't know about the details of ALI, but knew she'd followed the rules. She's the type that would have 'followed orders' at Aushwitz wouldn't she?

There's absolutely fuck all evidence that Palestine Action are sponsored by Iran or Hamas.
There is overwhelming evidence that the Labour Party front bench and more, are sponsored by the terrorist state of Israel.

I understand & totally agree with you - politics shouldn't be about 'optics' it should be about conviction, passion, objectivity & moral rectitude. However I do think Zack represents a completely different dynamic to the centrists in the GP, he's definitely heading in the right radical direction!

Just to put this into perspective Β£10k a year income equates to a monthly income of Β£830 per month, have you any idea of what Β£830 pm gets you? In Leighton Buzzard a roomshare, or a tiny studio. A million miles away from ALI & her Β£4000 a month (Β£48,000pa) luxury London rental!!!

Israel must be removed from this earth along with Zionism, and every degenerate cunt who supports it.
The fucking monsters who cause this must be "special" because I refuse to believe they are the same species as humans. They are spawn of Satan.

This has been exposed on social media for months - maybe even a couple of years, so why is it only now that the media are interested? The tide is turning against Israel, but it's years too fucking late.

The truth about the Β£40 billion gap
YouTube video by Richard J Murphy The truth about the Β£40 billion gap

People say Rachel Reeves has a Β£40 billion black hole in her October budget. In this video, I show how Β£15 billion could be saved instantly simply by stopping unnecessary interest payments to commercial banks from the Bank of England. youtu.be/pwvWw7IQmS0?...

Please continue donating & sharing - can you help us get to £2000 by the end of the day? 😍

Well, this useless government says it wants more pubs, cafes and restaurants in the high streets to save town centres, but pubs are closing at a rate never seen before, so are music venues, cafes and restaurants can't afford the rates, energy bills and NI hike. HOW ABOUT TOWN CENTRE COUNCIL HOUSING?

How did she know Ali followed through rules if she didn't know the details. Which part of her statement to the media is a lie?

Seems Starmer thinks only the Board of Deputies represents British Jews.
