Excellent summary of the mainstream Labour critique of the blank cheque the military political complex are demanding. As I told the BBC and Sky - a country has to be worth fighting for.

The resignations of John Healey and Al Carns are a cynical attempt to make higher military spending the defining priority of Britain’s next government — whatever the cost to welfare, public services and living standards. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/06/bui…

🚨BREAKING: Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists
Amnesty opposes the use of terrorism powers in this case.
It is completely disproportionate to punish protesters for criminal damage as if they were terrorists, a sentence which stays with you for life.
The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them.
Today's decision shows how direct action protesters could be treated in the future.
The use of terrorism laws against direct action protesters must end.
Together we must continue calling out the abuse of power and fighting for our right to protest.
Read our position:
Criminal Damage, Direct Action, Terrorism: Misuse of counter-terrorism powers in the UK: amn.st/6015B87ZCx
ALT Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists, use of terrorism laws against protesters must end

Scale of sentences on the 4 young people who took direct action against the arms supplier to Israel is truly shocking. To impose years of imprisonment for protesting to save lives in Gaza is unjust, especially sentencing on terrorist grounds they were never convicted of by a jury

Last almost 3 years now has been a shameful time for the Labour Party.
Providing political, military and diplomatic cover for a rogue state committing genocide.
After Starmer we do need to see a ‘sea change’. theguardian.com/politics/202…

Second member of Keir Starmer’s cabinet to resign in a month. Despite a huge Parliamentary majority there is a remarkable instability about this administration that, if it isn’t addressed soon, could render the government paralysed by lack of leadership bbc.co.uk/news/live/cgqeg09p…

A new poll confirms that Labour’s stance on the Gaza genocide is driving a decline in support. To win back voters, the party must defend the Palestinian people. tribunemag.co.uk/2026/06/vot…

The UK government is colluding with Israel to imprison its own citizens. Four young people could soon be sentenced as “terrorists” despite no such conviction.
What is “terrorist connection” sentencing?
It’s a scandal.
Join us on June 12th to oppose this.

It should not go ahead.

Campaigners have hit out at an event in London which is openly advertising the sale of land in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, saying it is 'unthinkable' that it should be allowed to go ahead

Nominate these candidates – because Labour needs to change direction
By the Campaign for Labour Party Democracy
Our Party risks losing the next general election and a government dominated by the far-right coming to office, if we continue with the current policies.

International law is just words on a page without enforcement.
Palestinians facing genocide do not need warm words or empty gestures.
It’s time for widespread sanctions and a proper trade embargo on trade with illegal settlements.
Together with almost 140 fellow Labour MPs, I have written to the Foreign Secretary to call for a ban on trade with illegal Israeli settlements. Our group includes every Labour select committee chair.
It’s time to be clear that settlements have no viable economic future

Opposing the drive towards greater militarism is fundamentally linked to defending living standards- we're joining a range of labour movement figures backing @STWuk's International Anti-War Conference and saying #WelfareNotWarfare!
