INCOMING PM Andy Burnham must finally put an end to arms sales with Israel, anti-war campaigners demanded today as they marked 1,000 days of genocide in Gaza.

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), Stop the War Coalition (StWC) and the BDS movement renewed their calls for the government to take a clear stance against Israel as Britain prepares for a new leader.

PSC deputy director Peter Leary said activists should use this “horrifying milestone” and Mr Burnham’s likely crowning as PM to call for an end to economic and political enabling of the genocide.

He told the Morning Star: “As Britain braces for a new Prime Minister, we must use this horrific landmark to reaffirm our demand that the British government finally puts an end to all arms trade with Israel and calls a halt to its ongoing economic and political support for Israel’s crimes.

“One thousand marks a horrifying milestone since the start Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip – 1,000 days in which more than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed, millions displaced and homes, schools, hospitals and other essential infrastructure destroyed.”

Mr Leary highlighted the ongoing nature of attacks on Palestinians, adding that “despite the so-called ceasefire, that genocide continues with over a thousand Palestinians violently killed by Israel in Gaza since it supposedly took effect.”

Jeremy Corbyn said: “For 1,000 days, Britain has armed and enabled the worst crime of our time.

“Keir Starmer may have gone, but his shameful record on Palestine remains. 

“This issue is not going away – and we will carry on for as long as it takes until we have exposed the full scale of the British government’s complicity in genocide.”

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.

Campaigners call on public to join protests across the country demanding Starmer stands up to the far-right US president

PEACE campaigners have warned Sir Keir Starmer to break with US President Donald Trump now before Britain is embroiled in a “full-scale conflict” over “oil and empire” as Britons join protests around the country on Saturday.

The Prime Minister’s tepid reaction to the US attack on Venezuela and its abduction of President Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores has already driven thousands out onto the streets this week.

Even more are expected this weekend at demonstrations in urban centres across the country on Saturday, including outside Downing Street at 1pm on and the US consulate in Edinburgh at 11am.

Campaigners called on the public to join them in keeping pressure on the government after the Labour leader this week said siding with Europe over the US would be a mistake in the wake of further US military threats on Greenland.

His reactions prompted further fury from activists, as the former human rights barrister also refused to say whether the US operations in Venezuela broke international law at PMQs.

Stop the War Coalition (StWC) convener Lindsey German told the Morning Star: “The British government should break with Trump and his far-right racist warmongering policies now before the world is embroiled in a full scale conflict for oil and empire.
