We welcome the news of a potential ceasefire in Gaza.

This must be the first step in bringing about justice for the Palestinian people, an end to the brutal Israeli occupation and lasting peace in the region.

This morning's violent attack on worshippers at a Manchester synagogue is deeply distressing. We cannot allow inexcusable and senseless violence to divide our communities.

As they approach Gaza, governments of all nations, including Britain, must ensure they face no further harassment or interference from Israeli forces.

The safety of the humanitarians on board must be ensured and their rights protected.

“The suggestion that the likes of Tony Blair have a seat at the table in deciding Gaza's future is breathtakingly ignorant.

Tony Blair and the US government share much of the responsibility for the instability and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and around the world.

Gaza belongs to the Palestinians— not the parasites who want to ethnically cleanse it and sell it for parts.

The British government’s recognition of the State of Palestine is a huge victory after decades of campaigns.

Ultimately, this decision means nothing unless they recognise the ongoing genocide in Gaza, end arms sales to Israel, and comply with all ICC/ICJ investigations.

UK officially recognises Palestine as a state

Sir Keir Starmer said the UK - alongside Australia and Canada - was taking the step "in the face of growing horror" in the Middle East.

We must bring about justice and security for the millions people ripped off by greedy private landlords — and kickstart the biggest council house building programme in generations to end the housing crisis.

Why are rents so high and will they keep going up?

In the face of record rents in the UK, will renters face more surges as the cost of living crisis continues to hit households?
