Israel has said it will create 22 new illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank in order to "prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state..." The Israeli government's blatant ethnic cleansing cannot be condoned. The UK government must recognise the state of Palestine.

The UK government said Israel’s actions are “morally unjustifiable” – but it's still arming Israel. The UK must hold Israel to account for crossing red lines. Join the protest: demand an arms embargo now. 📅Weds 4 June ⏰From 11:30am 📍Parliament Square, London SW1P 3JX

I need people to understand how easy it is to hijack the #Eurovision televote. It doesn't take that many people Only 5 to 10% of viewers vote. It's a 26-way vote, so the percentages involved are low. It's entirely possible to win a country's televote on 10% of the votes or less
