Today is Day 50 of the Palestine prisoners’ hunger strike.
This Labour government must release all remand prisoners on bail immediately.
If they die, more blood will be on the hands of David Lammy and Keir Starmer.

Will this require the Labour and Conservative Friends of Israel groups, which fund numerous MPs, to formally declare their funders?
