There is injustice at the heart of football⚽️
Football clubs – including Liverpool – are being sponsored by corporations complicit in Israel’s illegal occupation and genocide of the Palestinian people.
Join us in Liverpool at the Labour Party Conference on Sunday to learn more.
The UK government is complicit in Israel’s war crimes against Palestinians – and now there’s even more evidence to prove it.
Last nights’ Dispatches documentary exposed the calls being raised – and ignored – from within the government over Israel’s actions.
Anyone within the government responsible for aiding Israel’s crimes must be held to account.
More urgently, this has to be a wake up call for the UK government to:
❌End all arms transfers
❌Stop any political & economic support for Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians
Hold the UK government to account now: call for an end to UK complicity in Israel's war crimes.

Millions of people who make our clothes struggle on poverty wages – while CEOs rake in huge profits.
A living wage for garment workers is a right, not a luxury.
📍 Tomorrow, meet us at Soho Square, London W1D 3QP, at 5.30pm to demand a living wage for all workers.
Morocco said no to a mine. Now it’s being sued for £880m by a UK mining company.
ISDS makes this possible. It's a clause in trade deals that lets corporations sue countries in secret ‘corporate courts’ over policies that threaten their profits.
Act now:

ISDS lets corporations sue governments over policies that threaten profits – even when they protect people and the planet.
Join us to paint a banner ahead of the Global Days of Action against ISDS. We’ll drop it from Westminster Bridge on 15 October.

What’s the true cost of your weekly shop? 🍅
At #TUC2026, our Bitter Buys supermarket stand exposed the hidden costs behind cheap food – from poverty wages and exploitation to depleted land and water.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by, took part in our quiz and chatted with us.
And a big thank you to everyone who joined our fringe event: ‘From Farm to Fork: winning for workers in the global food supply chain’.
Find out more about these issues in our two new food briefings: waronwant.org/issues-we-tack…
The UK drinks around 100 million cups of tea every day. But workers and smallholder farmers receive only a fraction of the value their labour creates.
Our new briefing traces tea from Sri Lanka to UK supermarket shelves – exposing who profits.

The UK is finally taking action on Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian land.
If these measures go ahead, this will be a significant step towards ending UK complicity and holding Israel to account – but not enough.
Our full response ⬇️
We stand in solidarity with people in Nepal affected by the devastating floods and landslides in Rasuwa and nearby.
We mourn those who have lost their lives, and stand with families awaiting news of missing loved ones.

Rising temperatures are accelerating glacier loss, destabilising mountains and changing river systems.
But climate hazards do not become disasters because of climate breakdown alone.
Political choices about infrastructure and development shape who is exposed to risk.
❗️The climate damage from developing the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields could wipe out their economic benefits many times over, according to new analysis.
The evidence is clear: we must #StopRosebank oil field.

Climate breakdown has already damaged the UK economy, with an estimated £4.4bn lost from this summer's heatwaves alone.
More North Sea oil and gas drilling won't lower UK energy bills, food prices or petrol costs.

Premier League clubs are being sponsored by corporations complicit in Israel's apartheid and genocide of Palestinians.
We're here on the first day of the season at the Arsenal vs Coventry City to spread the word.
Show genocide the red card. Take action: secure.waronwant.org/page/19…
🔴It's time for football to show genocide the red card.
@premierleague clubs are being sponsored by corporations complicit in Israel’s illegal occupation, apartheid and genocide of the Palestinian people.
Demand that your club drops complicit sponsors: secure.waronwant.org/page/19…
At least ten clubs are sponsored by corporations complicit in Israel’s atrocities.
But every club is indirectly sponsored by @Barclays – the League’s main sponsor – which has long enabled apartheid.
We shouldn’t have to choose between the game we love and standing up for Palestinian rights.
It’s time to show genocide the red card. Email your club today. secure.waronwant.org/page/19…
