In 1998 Labour passed the Human Rights Act to enforce our rights to free speech and protest. This week Burnham’s government told the Supreme Court a ban that made a 94-year-old human rights lawyer a terror suspect is lawful. These are our hard-won rights. Labour now argues them away.

Michigan just elected a senator who calls Gaza a genocide. 56% of Americans want military aid to Israel cut or ended. 57% of Britons want arms sales to Israel ended. The majority of people don’t want their government being complicit in genocide - both in America and in the UK. Sign: petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Our petition asks four things: what arms Britain sent Israel, which RAF bases it used, what the spy flights over Gaza recorded, and what its own lawyers said about genocide. Burnham has refused to answer all four. 70,000 of the public disagree. Sign: petition.parliament.uk/petit…

In the 2026 US midterms supporting Israel cost more votes than it won. Exit polls: 50% of voters said US support for Israel is too strong. 13% said too weak. 78% of that 50% voted Democrat. Backing Israel is a vote loser in America. Even Trump has noticed.

Jeremy Corbyn: “Be one of the 100,000 who try to bring truth to something the government is trying to hide.” 70,000 signed in twelve days. Burnham refused an inquiry twice. At 100,000, MPs must consider a debate on Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The truth is 30,000 signatures away.

Congratulations Abdul El-Sayed: “We don’t want our money sent to do apartheid, or genocide, or war” Trump attacked his name and his faith. Michigan made him Senator by seven points. 50% of US voters say support for Israel is too strong Telling the truth about Palestine now wins

Abdul El-Sayed, the first Muslim in the 237-year history of the US Senate, won his seat after President Donald Trump spent the campaign mocking him as “Mohammed”.

Kemi Badenoch says the British Empire was “overall a force for good”. It shipped 3.2 million Africans in chains, drained an estimated $45 trillion from India and left taxpayers paying enslavers’ bill for 180 years. She looked at a crime against humanity and called it a favour.

A 94 year old Jewish human rights barrister has been arrested twice under the Terrorism Act for a cardboard sign opposing genocide, and the Labour government is in court this week to keep it that way.

Margaret Owen, 94, on her terrorism arrest: ‘I’m afraid I’m not the terrorist. But Israel is a terrorist state, and we are complicit in supporting a terrorist state.’ Britain arrested her twice. Its F-35 parts kept shipping. Labour arrests the witness and protects the weapons.

In 1980 private renters paid around 10% of household income in rent. Today it is 39% in England, 63% for the poorest fifth, and the average London rent is £2,338 a month. Andy Burnham demanded a rent freeze in 2023. As Prime Minister he has just passed a Budget without one. yourparty.uk/rentcontrols

Labour barred Andreas Malm from Britain ahead of a London Palestine panel. He calls it “nothing short of scandalous”. Two weeks earlier Faber pulled Sally Rooney’s novels under Labour’s Terrorism Act. A novelist off the shelves, a professor out of the country, in one month.
