This week, the ICC requested an arrest warrant against Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. In response, he ordered the forcible evacuation and demolition of Khan al-Ahmar in the occupied West Bank. This is ethnic cleansing. When will our government end its complicity?

Incredible scenes outside the Emirates. A moment I will never forget. Arsenal - Premier League Champions! #COYG

Our message to the Israeli government, the British government and any other government that has enabled the genocide in Gaza: we will never give up on the Palestinian people.

HOW TO BEAT REFORM: BY @jeremycorbyn We are at a dangerous moment in this country, but we can turn the tide. There are millions of people who support a vision of public ownership, rent controls, council housing, a National Care Service, and a budget that looks after the poor instead of funding endless war. Many of them, though, simply do not believe they have a voice or role in politics at all. Our movement is huge, but it is divided. There is only one way we will defeat Reform: by working together under a progressive umbrella that unites progressive anti-racist forces everywhere. newstatesman.com/symposium/2026…

At the Palestine March on Saturday, I had a message for the billionaire-funded Tommy Robinson march down the road: Your hatred won’t build one council house, improve one hospital or help one homeless person on the streets of London.

The government is trying to bury its complicity in a catastrophic illegal war. Our government chose to make Britain part of an illegal war machine. Once again, human beings abroad have paid the price. [4/4]

The letter admits that Parliament should "ordinarily be given the opportunity to vote, before the UK becomes involved in significant military operations". In what world are these strikes - which have destroyed infrastructure & killed civilians - not significant? [3/4]

In March, I wrote to the Prime Minister demanding a parliamentary vote on the use of UK military bases in the war on Iran. I finally received a reply during the height of the Westminster psychodrama - the perfect moment to bury the government's complicity in war crimes. [1/4]

The cheap, headline-grabbing nonsense of Reform UK won’t build council-housing, lower people’s bills or fix our NHS.

Yesterday, we showed our determination to support the Palestinian people in the face of lies and smears. The British government is complicit in genocide — and we will be here for as long as it takes until there is justice and liberation for Palestine.

Proud to join hundreds of thousands of people to mark 78 years of the ongoing Nakba against the Palestinian people. We are a mass movement for peace — and we are never, ever going away.

Today, thousands of people — of all faiths and none — are marching in support of the Palestinian people and against the far-right. We oppose racism for the same reason we oppose genocide: we believe in the equal value of all human life.

The Prime Minister wouldn’t be in this mess if he had bothered to take on a rigged economic system that concentrates wealth in the hands of the few. My full interview with @SkyNews. youtu.be/dApZEd7ZOlM?si…

It isn’t 78 years since the Nakba. It’s 78 years of the Nakba. Tomorrow, we will demonstrate in our hundreds of thousands against the ongoing dispossession of the Palestinian people. Join us.

78 years ago, 800,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes. Britain made it possible. Today, Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Britain made it possible. 78 years of the Nakba - and 78 years of British complicity in crimes against the Palestinian people.

Prominent MPs including Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana have called for the Met Police chief to retract “gravely misleading comments” linking pro-Palestinian marches to antisemitism. The former Labour leader is the top signatory on a new letter highlighting “baseless claims” made by Mark Rowley. The Scotland Yard boss said organisers of the Nakba 78 march on 16 May pushed for a route that would take demonstrators past a synagogue. “Their initial suggestion for their route, their march, has involved walking by a synagogue,” Rowley told the Times. “Each time we’ve prevented that, we’ve put conditions on. The fact that features as the organisers’ intent, I think that sends a message… that feels like antisemitism. “That may be a fair or unfair inference, but that’s the message it sends.” But the organisers’ first route suggestion was from Embankment to Whitehall, via Westminster and Waterloo bridges – which does not pass any synagogues, Corbyn’s letter notes. A second suggested route, which was likewise rejected by Met police, also did not pass any synagogues. The letter was signed by 32 MPs, including Hannah Spencer, John McDonnell and Diane Abbott, and four members of the House of Lords. “Our government is still supplying arms to Israel as it continues to bomb, starve & dispossess the Palestinian people,” Corbyn said on social media after sharing the letter on Wednesday. “That is why thousands of us continue to demonstrate – and that is why we reject disgraceful attempts to malign our movement for peace.” The Palestine Coalition, which is made up of six groups including Palestine Solidarity Campaign and Stop the War Coalition, has submitted a formal legal complaint to the London mayor’s office for policing and crime about Rowley’s comments. Corbyn’s letter also accuses the Met of double standards after it approved a route for a march led by far-right agitator Tommy Robinson on the same day. Police have allowed attendees “to assemble a short distance from multiple mosques”, Corbyn wrote. Rowley’s remarks come in the wake of comments by Jonathan Hall KC, the government’s independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, who has called for a temporary ban on pro-Palestine marches.

Westminster psychodrama isn’t what real politics is about. Politics is about the everyday reality of people’s lives. My speech yesterday on the record level of homelessness in our society.

"This drama is being played out in Westminster to the exclusion of the public. It’s all about a psychodrama between three or four individuals. Where’s the public?" —Jeremy Corbyn 💯
