A tax of just 2% on wealth over £10 million, would raise at least £24 billion every year. Take action now ➡️ https://bit.ly/43gkMCD Tell your MP to halt cuts on humanitarian aid.

Last night, Israel breached the ceasefire agreement - launching airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, killing over 400 people and injuring hundreds more. Israel is continuing to commit heinous war crimes with ZERO consequences. International law is not optional. The UK must condemn this escalation, use its influence to stop Israel's bombing, and help to restore a ceasefire now. Sign the ceasefire petition: https://bit.ly/45zXIMS
