@waronwant.bsky.socialThe UK government must end all arms transfers to Israel, sanction Israel's leaders and end the UK-Israel trade deal.
@waronwant.bsky.socialThree years of Israel's genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. One year of so-called 'ceasefire'. Israel must be held to account. We marched in London today with 250,000 others, all standing in solidarity with Palestinians – and demanding action from the UK government.
@waronwant.bsky.socialIf the UK government’s action only targets Israel’s illegal settlements, it isn’t holding Israel to account for its genocide, apartheid and illegal occupation of Palestine.
The UK government must go further and end the UK-Israel trade deal.

@waronwant.bsky.socialThe UK government announced a ban on trade with Israel’s illegal settlements this month. But this ban will only stop an estimated 0.63% (£38 million) of the UK’s trade with Israel, worth £6 billion in 2025.
@waronwant.bsky.socialIsrael has killed 74,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during its genocide, now entering its fourth year. That number keeps growing – but it’s not a number – it’s a people being ethnically cleansed. Where is the accountability?
@waronwant.bsky.social@waronwant.bsky.socialISDS is a clause in trade deals that lets corporations sue countries in secret 'corporate courts' over policies that threaten their profits – even when they protect people and planet.
Join us on 15 October outside UK parliament to demand an end to ISDS:
@stopcambo.bsky.socialReposted by @waronwant.bsky.socialDelek Group, an Israeli energy giant known to operate in illegal settlements in the West Bank, is set to receive £200+ million if the Rosebank oil field is approved.
So we've sent a letter to Burnham - warning him that approving Rosebank could breach his new sanctions.

@waronwant.bsky.socialGrowing poverty is not a business opportunity.

@waronwant.bsky.social‼️New research
The super-rich – particularly owners of food and energy corporations – are profiting from the cost-of-living crisis.

@waronwant.bsky.socialForeign Secretary Ed Miliband says those who were "outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people: we hear you. You were right." If this is true, the UK government must stop stalling & end all UK complicity in Israel's atrocities. Stop arming Israel. Stop trading with Israel.
@waronwant.bsky.socialToday, at the Labour Party Conference, we joined climate justice organisations and campaigners to demand the UK government says no to Rosebank oil field.
Rosebank won’t lower energy bills or deliver secure jobs.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham must #StopRosebank now.
@waronwant.bsky.socialHold the UK government to account now: call for an end to UK complicity in Israel's war crimes. secure.waronwant.org/page/162177/...
@waronwant.bsky.socialAnyone within the government responsible for aiding Israel’s crimes must be held to account. More urgently, this has to be a wake up call for the UK government to: ❌End all arms transfers ❌Stop any political & economic support for Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians
@waronwant.bsky.socialThe UK government is complicit in Israel’s war crimes against Palestinians – and now there’s even more evidence to prove it.
Last nights’ Dispatches documentary exposed the calls being raised – and ignored – from within the government over Israel’s actions.

@waronwant.bsky.socialMillions of people who make our clothes struggle on poverty wages – while CEOs rake in huge profits. A living wage for garment workers is a right, not a luxury. 📍 Tomorrow, meet us at Soho Square, London W1D 3QP, at 5.30pm to demand a living wage for all workers.
