Eight people who took action in solidarity with Palestine have been on hunger strike since 2 November in protest at their prolonged pre-trial imprisonment, censorship of communications and alleged mistreatment in custody.

Five have now been hospitalised. David Lammy must respond.
Alongside fellow Green MPs and Peers, I have written to the Justice Secretary to express my serious concern about the wellbeing and conditions of the hunger strikers.

Five of the strikers have now been hospitalised - it is clear Lammy must take urgent action to prevent tragedy.

Extremely worried for the awful situation of the Palestine Action activists on hunger strike.

Still awaiting trial, some for over a year.

Green MPs and peers have written to David Lammy, calling for urgent action and fair treatment.

It is the ideological worldview of Project 2025, Heritage Foundation, Claremont Institute, Ordo Iuris, MCC Brussels 👉and of course, Maurice Glasman’s quiet transatlantic work on “sovereignty”.

This is not about migration. It is about ending the EU as a serious geopolitical actor.

This perfectly aligns with:
•Brexit
•The attack on ECHR
•Pressure on the EU’s migration architecture
•Far-right cultural warfare
•Deregulation of food, chemicals, farming
•Weakening ECJ
•Installing American-style corporate governance
•Dividing European states into “good” and “bad” members

🚨🔔‼️This is the missing context in 🇬🇧 debate about Brexit, ECHR, IHT farm tax and Starmer’s behaviour.

Trump’s classified National Security Strategy is explicitly about dismantling Europe from inside.

Why isn't this all over the news? Do we really need people who put paint on a plane, to die in prison without even having had a trial?

There are now 8 of them on hunger strike! Starmer said he admires Thatcher. Is he going to let people starve themselves to death on his watch too?

Impunity is an enabler of criminality. And again, I suggest that we spend some time reflecting on the radicalising effect it must have on British politicians to be so deeply and directly complicit in such monstrous, racist crimes. These people have crossed a threshold into a truly dark place.

Solidarity with the hunger strikers.

It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction.

All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.

They’ve probably done more research than me but my sense is: LOL no. I wouldn’t let a family member go if I had any say in it, because I’ve seen over and over how much regard the UK government has for the lives of its soldiers, and for the families of the ones it gets killed.

Immigration needs to be under Scottish control.

It's completely unacceptable to have the lives of those who do us the honour of coming to live and work and make a life for themselves here. Be subject to the whims of a racist minority in another country.

Pandering to populists only ends up boosting populists. We see it with Labour policy driven by Reform. We saw it with Cameron's attempts to tweak EU membership ahead of Brexit.
