We assert that schools engaging with Leonardo should immediately cease any existing partnerships or engagements. Schools not currently working with Leonardo should ensure there are no partnerships or activities in the future. 3/4

We agree, Islamophobia is far too prevalent in our society - including in @TheLabourParty_ Will you now be supporting @zarahsultana ’s call for an independent inquiry in to Islamophobia in the Labour Party? We deserve more than words.

Islamophobia is far too prevalent in our society. In Luton, diversity is our strength. We have a history of opposing those seeking to sow division and spread racism. We all have a duty to ensure the UK is a welcoming, tolerant place. @APPGBritMuslims @LabourMuslims

The UK must immediately suspend arms sales to Israel and every MP must play their part in making that happen. Failure to act now is unforgivable.

The ICJ has ruled that there is risk of international law being broken in Gaza. The UK government - in accordance with its own laws - is now obliged to suspend its arms export licences for Israel. Will our MPs @rach_hopkins @SarahOwen_ and @UKLabour now finally back this?

This must be a turning point. The International Court of Justice has ruled against Israel, ordering it to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza. Our government must heed this judgement, ending arms sales to Israel and demanding an immediate ceasefire.

The current groundswell of rampant Islamophobia has been catalysed by politicians who have sought to escape accountability by seeking to smear and discredit all those campaigning to end the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
