🍂 Hey, happy October friends of SPEAK. This seasons Pray & Post looks again at UK arms exports to Israel. Since our earlier actions, the Government has announced new measures on settlements and arms licensing, but important questions remain around F-35 components, monitoring of UK arms, E1 settlement tenders and future UK arms fairs.
The ceasefire we prayed for came in October 2025. But by mid-July 2026, more than 1,100 Palestinians had been killed since it began. In January 2025 we reported that the UK had licensed £442m of arms to Israel since 2015; Oxfam now puts the figure at more than £500m, excluding open licences the Government doesn’t report. Sources for these statistics are on our website

📮 POST — copy/adapt to your MP:
“Dear [MP], please ask the Government what further action it will take on UK arms exports to Israel, including the F-35 carve-out, end-use monitoring and its new arms-export framework. I’d be grateful for a response setting out the Government’s position.”

Praying for peace, always 🤍🕊️

Holding space for healing, protection, and change across the world.

Thinking of everyone affected by conflict especially children and families.
May love be louder than violence.

And may we keep speaking up against the global arms trade fueling conflict and enabling repression as we continue to pray and take action for peace ✊🏽
Wishing you all blessings this Easter season.

UNITY DAY
Quaker meeting house Uxbridge
Saturday, October 18,2025
12pm-3pm
Organised by Stand Up to Racism Hillingdon, bringing together concerned residents, activists, local politicians and faith leaders to combat the relentless scapegoating of Asylum seekers. Our campaign is to tackle the atmosphere of fear that has been created in the local area.
The Event Will host speeches from Labour MP John McDonnell representatives from Care4Calais and the NEU. In addition to children's activities and music.
The event will deliver a clear message: “Migration is not the problem.” Participants will highlight the vital role migrants play in the local community — from lecturing at Brunel University, to driving the U4 bus and Elizabeth Line trains, to treating patients at Hillingdon Hospital.
Stand Up to Racism Hillingdon is a grassroots campaign formed in 2025 in response to rising anti-migrant activity in the borough. It is part of the national Stand Up to Racism network, working to oppose racism, support refugee and migrant rights, and build inclusive communities across the UK
