The Government has created safe routes and visa schemes for victims of other conflicts but not for Palestinians. The Government condemns certain countries for their human rights record, supports self-determination for some and celebrates…
This week, a new report was launched by campaign groups on the Bibby Stockholm barge. Shocking testimonies from people living & working there described the inhumane “prison-like conditions.” Campaigners are demanding that any new…
Today I met with constituents in Parliament as part of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign UK lobby. If you’re a constituent who hasn’t been in touch about Gaza but would like to, do drop me an email!
“Pleading” with the Israeli Government to stop the carnage and the deliberate denial of aid to Gaza, is not a strategy the UK Government can continue to hide behind. But watch here the Minister’s response to my question on exactly this:
How many of those slaughtered in Gaza have been killed by British-made arms? Our message to the Prime Minister is simple and clear: Stop arming Israel.
As #WomensHistoryMonth comes to an end, I’ve been reflecting on women and domestic abuse. In particular, how strategic litigation against public participation (SLAPPs) is being used to silence women from speaking out.
Today, the world and Julian Assange will find out whether the price he should pay for his whistleblowing activities, is extradition to the US. A few weeks ago, I spoke about why his case has profound consequences for press freedom.
It’s almost two months since the ICJ’s plausible genocide ruling and the UN Security Council has now voted for an immediate ceasefire. When will the UK Government stop arming Israel?
This week I spoke to JOE Media about the right to protest, far-right extremism, solidarity with the Palestinian people, and why we must stand with Diane Abbott.

Conversion therapy brings so much harm to the LGBTQ+ community. The time to outlaw it was a long time ago. The Government has not yet delivered on its promise to do this, and is not supporting Lloyd Russell-Moyle MP’s Bill today. I’ll…
Public accountability and democracy cannot be limited only to what those in power dictate. This case of Julian Assange has profound consequences for press freedom and democracy around the world.
Today, I asked the Government what steps it’s taking to ensure it fulfils its own obligations under international law, following provisional measures ordered by the ICJ last week. The Minister’s response:
It’s now 22 years to this month, since the Guantanamo Bay detention facility was opened. I joined campaigners in London to mark this anniversary in protest, reaffirming calls for its closure and the release of detainees held inhumanely…
At the Department for Work & Pensions, PCS Union members are highlighting the impact of the staffing crisis, on their mental health. They need a Real Living Wage, now.
The entire world is witnessing in real time, the crimes against humanity being committed against innocent Palestinian civilians. Today, we said: not in our name!
Proud to stand with junior doctors and support them on the picket line this morning outside the Royal London hospital. These doctors are fighting to defend their profession, protect their patients and save our NHS. They deserve our full…
I was please to start #InternationalWomensDay2023 with students at New City College, Tower Hamlets. Here in the East End, our rich history of women’s struggles for rights continues to inspire us — to challenge outdated ways of doing things…
