👇Stephen Flynn MP: 'The public will be hoping that members of this House do not have a short memory when it comes to the potential deployment and involvement of our military.'
We must see the opening of safe aid routes and a ceasefire across Israel and Gaza.
We have launched an inquiry on the role of human rights in the UK democratic process 👇
We are taking evidence at 3pm today from experts in social media, civil liberties and human rights.
Read the terms of reference and submit evidence to the inquiry:

Amongst the issues we will be taking evidence on in our new #HumanRights inquiry is the importance of #FreedomOfSpeech to our democracy. You might also think #FreedomOfBelief is vital. Or not..either way we want to hear from you. Find out how below 👇
