We will not rest until the government finally listens to the demand being made by millions of people of all backgrounds and faiths: end all arms sales to Israel, now.

Last week, we took a major step forward in establishing a public, independent inquiry into the UK's complicity in the Gaza genocide. I have written to the Prime Minister to ask for assurance that this inquiry will be established.

The Freedom Flotilla sailing toward Gaza is not just carrying life-saving aid. It is carrying solidarity, hope and our shared humanity.

35 years of privatisation. 35 years of excessive profits. 35 years of rising bills. There is no market solution. Take water into public ownership now!

Today, children are taught about history’s worst crimes against humanity. We ask how the world could have possibly let them happen. Future history books will shame those who could have stopped the genocide in Gaza, but chose to enable atrocity after atrocity instead.

My call for an independent inquiry into the UK's role in Gaza has passed its 1st reading in Parliament. We will establish the truth over the UK’s complicity in genocide - and we will bring about justice for the Palestinian people.

Today, I am presenting the Gaza (independent public inquiry) Bill. MPs must decide: will you support our call for an inquiry into the UK’s complicity in genocide, or will you block our attempts to uncover the truth?

We deserve to know the full scale of this government’s complicity in crimes against humanity. My piece for @theguardian.com on why I’m tabling legislation tomorrow for a full, independent, public inquiry into the UK’s role in the Gaza genocide. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

No money for people with disabilities. No money for the elderly. No money for children in poverty. Always money for war.

Nuclear weapons can never bring about peace or security — only mass death and destruction.

Millions of people are worried about paying their rent, feeding their kids or losing vital disability benefits. If the government cared about people's security, it would reverse cruel cuts, end child poverty and pursue an agenda for peace. Let's fund welfare, not warfare.

This week, I am presenting my Gaza Inquiry Bill to uncover the truth about this country’s complicity in genocide.

I sat down with @aljazeeraenglish.bsky.social to discuss the Gaza genocide, British imperialism and the suppression of Palestinian solidarity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YM8k...

Do not stop speaking up for Palestine 🇵🇸

Support @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social's calls for a public inquiry into British involvement in the Gaza genocide 🇵🇸 ✍Write to your MP and ask them to support accountability for the crimes against humanity inflicted on the Palestinian people: thecorbynproject.com/gazainquiry

Really enjoyed chatting to @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social on the Blindboy Podcast. We spoke about Thatcher, the power of art, and Palestine. Good craic! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/j...

I am absolutely horrified by the scenes in Liverpool. My thoughts are with everybody affected. Liverpool will always hold a special place in my heart — it is a city of unique strength, spirit and unity. Tonight and always, you’ll never walk alone.

Music has the power to bring our communities together. It was an honour to speak at Wide Awake in Brockwell Park and support artists in calling for an end to all arms sales to Israel and the occupation of Palestine 🇵🇸

We demand the truth — and we demand justice for the Palestinian people. Here’s why I’m tabling legislation in Parliament for an independent, public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in the Gaza genocide. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

It’s official. I will be introducing a Bill for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza. The government must decide: will it support this inquiry, or will it block our efforts to establish the truth?

I asked the Foreign Secretary: what exactly are British air bases being used for during the genocide in Gaza? He refused to answer.

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza. Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians. Stop arming genocide, now.

I am still so proud of our election campaign in Islington North last summer. Why? Because it was made up of people of all backgrounds, languages and faiths. This was no group of strangers. This was a community, campaigning for a better society for all.

Has it ever been more obvious that the Nakba never ended? A statement from the Independent Alliance on Nakba Day.

Today, the Independent Alliance delivered media handbooks to mainstream press outlets, suggesting basic ways they could hold the Prime Minister to account over Gaza. You can read the full handbook here: linktr.ee/jeremycorbyn

The problems in our society are not caused by migrants or refugees. They are caused by an economic system rigged in favour of corporations and billionaires. If the government wanted to improve people’s lives, it would tax the rich and build an economy that works for us all.

I welcome the ceasefire between India and Pakistan. Too many lives have been lost, and we will not break the cycle of violence until the people of Kashmir are given a voice. They should decide their own future — and deserve to live in peace and freedom like anyone else.

Why isn’t there a “coalition of the willing” to stop the mass starvation and genocide in Gaza?

Under Labour’s welfare cuts, 1.3 million people with cancer, arthritis and other diseases could lose PIP. They could have just made the very wealthiest pay their fair share. What an absolute disgrace that they are choosing to make life harder for disabled people instead.

It's quite simple. You cannot say you oppose Israel's plan for the mass ethnic cleansing of Gaza if you keep providing them with the weapons they need to carry it out. The government’s refusal to end all arms sales to Israel is becoming more egregious by the day.

The government is yet to respond to our call for a public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in the war on Gaza. This shocking report could explain why. When will the government come clean about the reality of arms exports to Israel?

Ethnic cleansing was always the plan — and our government cannot pretend it didn’t know. A statement from the Independent Alliance.

The government was wrong to cut winter fuel payments. It was wrong to keep the 2-child benefit cap. It was wrong to slash disability benefits. Pushing people into poverty is the wrong thing to do. The right thing to do is redistribute wealth and power so that everyone can live in dignity.

Arming Israel. Bombing Yemen. Cutting aid. This government’s obsession with militarism is out of control — and it is the poorest people in the world paying the price. We are all human beings on one planet. Surely that is a good enough reason to try and build a world of peace.

Palestinians are not “facing” starvation. They are being starved to death by Israel. Yet our government still refuses to end all arms sales and implement sanctions, granting endless impunity for Israel's crimes against humanity. End the blockade — and stop the genocide.

Today, we pay tribute to Pope Francis. He welcomed refugees & the homeless where others turned their backs. He called for peace — in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, the DRC & beyond — where others cheered for war. His humanity is an inspiration to us all, and he will be greatly missed.

Football belongs to you and me! I had a great time on @prorevsoccer.bsky.social alongside my son, Ben. It was a joy to share our favourite memories of Arsenal as well as our joint love for the grassroots game. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/f...

Pope Francis dedicated his life to the marginalised, displaced and dispossessed. A rare voice for humanity, he spent his final days on this earth calling for peace. Let his enduring legacy — of empathy, courage and kindness — inspire us to build a more humane world for all.

Happy Easter to all those who celebrate — of all faiths and none. Let’s take a moment to remember that so many people around the world are suffering from poverty, hunger and the horrors of war. Today, we need to spread a message of peace and humanity for everyone, everywhere.

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community. We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect? Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

"How can you justify this?" I have written to Rachel Reeves to share my constituents' profound distress over the cuts to disability benefits. We are appalled by the government's cruelty - and we will not back down.

Time and time again, the government refuses to answer our questions over the UK’s military cooperation with Israel. That’s why we are demanding a full, independent, public inquiry. We want the truth — and we want justice.

The public deserves to know the full scale of our government's complicity in crimes against humanity.

Last month, I wrote to the Prime Minister calling for an independent inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza. Today, more than 30 MPs have supported that call. This is not going away. We will campaign for as long as it takes to establish the truth.

It is unacceptable that two British MPs have been denied entry to the West Bank. For Palestinians, this kind of authoritarian treatment is a daily reality. That reality is called apartheid — and our government is enabling it. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Mass starvation. Ethnic cleansing. Genocide. That is what our government is enabling — and it should be eternally ashamed. End all arms sales to Israel now.
