Israel is continuing to block critical aid to the people of Gaza, despite 140,000 tonnes of UN food sitting outside the border.

Foreign Secretary David Lammy has called out Israel's actions as “monstrous” and announced that Britain would suspend trade talks with Israel. Given the 19 months of British complicity in Israel’s genocide, Lammy’s condemnation rings hollow.

Meanwhile, Britain's trade envoy Lord Austin has been spotted in Haifa, with the British Embassy announcing “British-Israeli cooperation at every stop.”
This is why we have to increase the pressure even further on the British government to impose a full arms embargo on Israel.

Join the Palestine Coalition in creating a red line around Parliament for Palestine during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday 4 June to demand the government imposes a full arms embargo and sanctions on Israel now!

Assemble 11:30am

Residents request meeting with minister ahead of Devonport demonstration

Ahead of CND's protest at the Devonport Dockyard on Saturday 7 June, Plymouth residents are calling for a meeting with local MP and Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard, over the dangers posed by living next to a nuclear base and how the nuclear weapons industry brings economic deprivation, not prosperity, to areas like Devonport.

The Dockyard is operated by arms company Babcock and is currently servicing one of Britain's nuclear-armed fleet. As well as a history of toxic leaks, the billions of pounds flowing through the shipyard isn’t reaching the local population, with child poverty rates are over 35% in some wards in Devonport.

Join the demonstration on 7 June
