Shame on Starmer’s Labour Government. Lib Dems will continue to march with all parties in support of justice, human rights and peace. @libdems.org.uk @ldfpalestine.bsky.social

Excellent article by Jonathan Rosenhead on why the draconian, anti-democratic UK Policing Bill threatens our right to peaceful protest for Palestine. What IS this Labour Government doing? UK Policing Bill is a threat to right to protest for Palestine www.newarab.com/opinion/uk-p...

“It is an absolute travesty that this is happening under Labour! The right to protest is a vital component of our democracy” Max Williamson MP 🔸 Free speech and peaceful protest MUST be protected. Good to see @libdems.org.uk MPs making a stand this afternoon.

From Palestine Action to the latest policing bill, the UK government is killing free speech Will our MPs choose to defend our democratic freedoms tonight when they vote on the Crime and Policing Bill? #DemocracyUnderThreat Op Ed by Lord Strasburger ⬇️ www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/pale...

Israeli forces teargas schoolchildren in West Bank. Settler violence has also surged in the West Bank since the start of the Iran war. Excluding East Jerusalem, 500,000+ Israelis now live there in illegal settlements, among 3m Palestinians. #Palestine www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

“As Israel sets the Middle East on fire, the British government’s priority appears to be silencing those who are calling for peace. No civil disobedience would be happening if the UK simply halted arms exports to Israel, as required by British and international law.”

This is not just a victory for the people of Hungary, but for all those around the world who believe in international cooperation, democracy and the rule of law 🇭🇺

Trump, Putin, Farage… your boy took a hell of a beating. Congratulations to the people of Hungary for showing that populist extremists can be defeated – even despite Donald Trump’s best efforts.

Since the war on Iran began on Feb 28, Israel has launched near-daily attacks on Lebanon, Gaza, and the occupied West Bank. In that time, Israel killed at least 107 people, permitted only 8% of medical evacuations, and admitted just 20% of aid trucks into Gaza. 🔗: aje.news/u0qdtx | #Infograph

Why indeed? #SanctionIsrael #ActionNotWords

Israel's continued strikes in Lebanon are undermining any hope of peace. The UK must act now: sanction Benjamin Netanyahu and his security cabinet, and halt all UK arms exports to Israel. We must also finally proscribe the IRGC and support multilateral plans to disarm Hezbollah.

I have written to the Prime Minister with Liberal Democrat colleagues to urge him to withdraw or severely limit US access to UK air bases. If Trump is threatening attacks on civilian targets in Iran, Britain cannot allow our bases to be used to commit war crimes.

This is a point which could become a lot more pertinent for Downing Street in the next day or so.

This Wednesday at 6pm (UK time BST), join us at Caabu for this online briefing on the ongoing wars in the Middle East with Negin Shiraghaei, @drhahellyer.bsky.social and @yezidsayigh.bsky.social . More details and registration here: caabu.org/events/caabu...

After Trump's latest shocking threats, Keir Starmer faces a choice. Withdraw US access now to UK air bases, or risk letting British soil be used to commit war crimes.

Great reporting by Peter Oborne on the warped propaganda against Iran, by the US, Israel and British media

Easter for Gaza’s Christians #Gaza #Palestine www.al-monitor.com/originals/20...

Threatening war crimes and mocking Islam isn't a sign of strength, it's a sign of weakness. The PM should rule out UK forces and airfields being used for any attacks on Iranian civilian infrastructure. What more will it take for Starmer to call off the Royal Visit Trump craves?

When a state applies the law differently for two groups of people, we name it for what it is: apartheid. This brutal news is just the latest piece in a towering pile of evidence that Israel operates a violent system of apartheid.
