FILE PIC: Jeremy Corbyn takes part in a Palestine Coalition march in central London, January 31, 2026
A PETITION calling for a public inquiry into Britain’s complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza smashed the 100,000 threshold for a parliamentary debate today.
Your Party is now demanding that Parliament makes time to debate the petition and that the government establishes a fully independent public inquiry into Britain’s involvement since October 2023.
The petition was launched by the party’s chair Jennifer Forbes just over two weeks ago on October 23 after the government blocked a Bill for an independent inquiry.
Your Party’s parliamentary leader Jeremy Corbyn MP, who tabled the Bill, said: “One hundred thousand people have signed this petition because they want the truth about Britain’s complicity in genocide. They deserve answers, and the Palestinian people deserve justice.
“What weapons were supplied to Israel? What intelligence was gathered over Gaza, and how was it used? What legal advice did ministers receive, and what decisions did they take?
“Parliament must now make time for this debate. But our demand remains a fully independent public inquiry with the power to question those responsible and expose the full extent of Britain’s involvement.
…
At 100,000 signatures, petitions are considered for debate by the House of Commons petitions committee, but reaching the threshold does not automatically guarantee a debate or establish an inquiry.
Your Party said that the milestone sends a clear message that the public will continue demanding answers about decisions taken in their name.
Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza’s hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

He asks who could possibly object to the IDF starving people to death, conducting forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing all Gaza’s hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children.

Corbyn set up his own Gaza Tribunal last year to hear evidence on Britain’s role in the genocide
Labour yet again ignores the calls to investigate Britain’s hand in the ongoing Gaza genocide
LABOUR has refused to hold an official public inquiry into Britain’s complicity in the genocide in Gaza, it emerged today.
Campaigners immediately asked what the government was trying to hide.
The demand for an inquiry has been pushed by former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, now parliamentary leader of Your Party.
His own Gaza Tribunal held in London last year had highlighted the extent of British state involvement in support of Israel’s war crimes.
Mr Corbyn said today: “The government has officially blocked my call for a public inquiry into Britain’s role in Gaza.
“Andy Burnham rightly said that the last Labour government ‘got it wrong’ over Gaza. However, his words will mean very little if he doesn’t break with the last government’s shameful record of complicity, secrecy and evasion.
“In the aftermath of Iraq, the government of the day spent many years resisting attempts to uncover the truth. In the end, they could not prevent the inevitable. Just like Iraq, we will remember those who obstructed the path to justice.
“Delaying scrutiny will not make questions about British complicity in genocide disappear.
“The public deserve to know the full extent of Britain’s military, economic and political co-operation with Israel, including arms supplies, surveillance flights and the use of RAF bases.
“It’s not complicated: if the government has nothing to hide, then why block our efforts to expose the truth?
“Britain is still supplying arms to Israel. Britain is still supplying intelligence. Britain is still facilitating acts of genocide.

The Port of Rotterdam faced major disruptions over the past several days as dockworkers and activists launched strikes and direct actions.
The Port of Rotterdam, one of Europe’s most important logistics hubs, faced serious obstructions over the past several days as a result of dockworkers’ strikes and direct action against complicity in genocide, human rights violations, and pollution.
According to the collective Geef Tegengas, approximately 800 people took part in a blockade of the port’s railway track as part of an international campaign organized by the network alongside Soulèvements de la Terre (France), Code Rouge, Stop Arming Israel, Soulèvements de la Terre Bruxelles (Belgium), and Disrupt Germany. Coordinated actions took place between October 10 and 12 under the umbrella of the International Days of Action Against Bombs, Barrels, and Bullshit.
“The organizations are fighting back against the global, capitalist system that is raining down bombs, pumping out pollutants, creating inequality, colonizing lands, fracturing communities and destroying ecosystems,” the coalition said in a joint statement.
Nora Kilembe of Geef Tegengas warned about the role of Rotterdam’s port in what the groups term as the Logistics Empire: a global network of transport companies, port authorities, shopping platforms, and terminals that prioritize private profit over human life and the planet’s health. “The Logistics Empire, Port of Rotterdam up front, is destroying our planet,” Kilembe said. “Indigenous peoples are robbed of their self-determination whilst Israel is committing a genocide against Palestinians. In the West, we are being brainwashed to keep on buying to fill our empty lives, leading to mass depression and alienation. All so the ultra-rich can further enrich themselves. This system of death can only be brought down if we fight back together.”
Geef Tegengas emphasized the action targeted the sector’s deep complicity in Israel’s genocide and other human rights abuses. “We demand that the port of Rotterdam immediately implement a complete arms and trade embargo on Israel, stop importing products and raw materials from areas where human rights are violated, and make a plan to phase out all polluting waste as quickly as possible,” they said.
With the blockade, the group stressed, activists are reclaiming public control over vital infrastructure. “The port belongs to the people, not to big business,” they said. “They are demanding control over this port.”
The blockade coincided with the largest lashers’ – dockworkers responsible for securing cargo on vessels – strike in decades, which caused a backlog that port authorities say could take until the end of October to clear. Activists pointed out that the industrial action only reinforces the broader struggle for justice in Europe. “Their struggle for good wages and better working conditions is one that we wholeheartedly support,” they said, adding that the lashers’ demonstration of collective power should serve as an inspiration for all movements seeking a fairer society.

Only a truly democratic party can provide the space for the policies that are needed to transform society. Up and down the country, there is huge appetite for an economic reset. One that brings water, energy, rail and mail into public ownership. One that invests in welfare, not warfare. One that ends this government’s complicity in genocide and brings about justice for the Palestinian people. One that makes the wealthiest in society pay a bit more in tax to ensure that everyone can live in dignity.
This is the political vision that can inspire hope, not fear. The great dividers want you to think that migrants and minorities are responsible for the problems in our society. They’re not. Those problems are caused by a rigged economic system that protects the interests of billionaires and corporations. By scapegoating migrants and minorities for its own domestic failures, Labour has paved the path for Reform UK. This Labour government is here to appease Reform. We are here to defeat Reform. We are at a critical juncture, and we need an alternative, now.
…
Think of what we could achieve together.
The future we deserve is no pipe dream. Look around you, and you will find proof that a better world is possible. We are not fighting for crumbs. We are fighting for real change – and we are never, ever going away.
dizzy: I need to spend time on other projects for the next few years. We need left bloggers and social media activists. It’s a hard slog to get established but go for the long term. Teams of 10 or more would be ideal because you could share the work, maybe concentrate on your own area of interest. Suggest that you change passwords regularly and drop and replace people who don’t pull their weight. In a few years, ready for the next election, you should be kicking and taking on number 10’s influence and influencers reported in this article.
