To end war & conflict in the Middle East -30 years on, the words of Yitzak Rabin hold true “There is only one radical means of sanctifying human lives. Not armored plating, or tanks,or planes,or concrete fortifications. The ONE radical solution is PEACE ” Nobel Prize lecture 1994

Now is the time to bring an end to the terrible war in Gaza, starting with an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and an immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. It is high time for the parties to show the political courage and political will to finally reach a deal.

A decision I strongly backed in Govt & will continue to make the case that #UNRWA is the backbone to the aid operation in Gaza & a lifeline for Palestinians across the Occupied Territories as well as in neighbouring countries. The UK 🇬🇧 must restart @UNRWA funding without delay.

We've seen MPs swearing allegiance to the King using Cornish and Doric; holy books from the Koran to Gaelic and Hebrew Bible. This is quiet. Unfussy. But that's why the UK can claim to be the most successful multi-faith democracy in the world. My blog:-
