Aileen labram

I am disgusted by Reform UK's threats to people who have built a life in this country. They are coming for our neighbours. They are coming for our colleagues. They are coming for our friends. We are at a dangerous moment. This hatred cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.

80 years ago, the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. We remember the thousands who were killed in a crime against humanity, as well as the survivors who carried the pain of the past. Today, let us honour them by vowing to rid our world of nuclear weapons once and for all.

If you supply weapons to somebody that is accused of acts of genocide, then you yourself become complicit in those acts as well. Here’s why I am calling for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s role in one of the greatest crimes of our time.

Yesterday, the government removed vital support from disabled people. Today, the government will criminalise protestors who want to stop genocide. I opposed the government's attack on the disabled - and I will oppose the draconian proscription of Palestine Action.

The illegal attacks on Iran by the United States are reckless beyond belief — and threaten the safety of humankind around the world. Diplomacy was possible. Instead, a catastrophic war has been ignited by the aggression of two nuclear states, Israel and the United States. Meanwhile, the genocide in Gaza continues unabated with the shameful military support of our own government. The last Labour government made the mistake of following the US into a devastating war. Human beings abroad paid the price. This Labour government needs to learn the lessons of the past, otherwise it will be remembered for the more dangerous world it has helped to create. I echo the call made by the UN Secretary-General: “There is no military solution. The only path forward is diplomacy. The only hope is peace.”
