We met Yotam on our parliamentary delegation to Israel and the OPTs. Both his parents were killed by Hamas on October 7th. We visited his parents home, which was left in ruins. A harrowing experience.

Yotam is advocating for humanitarian aid for Gaza. Huge respect & solidarity.

Completely agree, especially after having met the dedicated civil society activists in Washington. UK and others governments need to keep and increase their support of civil society organisations, considering we cannot trust current political leadership in Israel&Palestine

UK tax law has allowed large, polluting cars to go unchecked due to low taxation on petrol SUVs compared to other countries.

Drivers pay €1,805 in tax on a new BMW X5, for example, while in France the bill is a whopping €60,000.
