As revealed by Channel 4 News’ documentary, UK arms exports to Israel have hit record highs — £408,000 in June and £316,000 in September.

The government says it’s restricting sales, but the data says otherwise.

The UK must end all arms sales to Israel now.

A record 1,611 people — including 11 children — died while homeless in 2024.

Both Labour and the Conservatives have failed to fix Britain’s housing crisis.

A home is not a privilege.
A home is a human right.

A BBC spokesperson now says they will offer to interview Zack Polanski on the Laura Kuenssberg show "in the coming weeks" after cancelling their planned interview with him during the Green Party conference.

Requests for an interview following his election as Green leader were also denied

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead.

This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

Zack Polanski’s response to the Manchester terror attack has been a masterclass in mature statesmanship.

Soulful, human, eloquent, empathetic, nuanced, confident and focused on healing.

And bold. It has shone in contrast to so much weaponising or ill thought through commentary.

Thank you Zack. 💪
