War on Want

10/10/2026

Three years of Israel's genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. One year of so-called 'ceasefire'. Israel must be held to account.

We marched in London today with a quarter of a million others, all standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people – and demanding action from the UK government.

The UK government must end all arms transfers to Israel, sanction Israel's leaders and end the UK-Israel trade deal.

Israel has killed 74,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during its genocide, now entering its fourth year.

That number keeps growing – but it’s not a number – it’s a people being ethnically cleansed.

Where is the accountability?

The UK government announced a ban on trade with Israel’s illegal settlements this month.

But this ban will only stop an estimated 0.63% (£38 million) of the UK’s trade with Israel, worth £6 billion in 2025.

If the UK government’s action only targets Israel’s illegal settlements, it isn’t holding Israel to account for its genocide, apartheid and illegal occupation of Palestine.

The UK government must go further and end the UK-Israel trade deal.

Across the world, people are taking action against Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) – the secretive 'corporate courts' that let corporations sue governments over decisions that threaten their profits, even when they protect people and planet.

In London, on 15 October, we’ll be joining the Global Days of Action against ISDS by dropping a giant banner from Westminster Bridge to make our message clear: stop corporate courts, end ISDS.

‼️New research: the super-rich are profiting from the cost-of-living crisis.

The wealth of the super-rich who make their money from food or energy has increased 3 or 4 times more, on average, than other super-rich people in the UK.

Our new research reveals that 15 ultra-wealthy families have seen their wealth surge while the price of food and energy has soared.

Growing poverty is not a business opportunity.

Take action now: tell the UK government to stop the super-rich profiting from the cost-of-living crisis by taxing extreme wealth now:

This morning, at the Labour Party Conference, we joined climate justice organisations and campaigners calling on the UK government to say no to the Rosebank oil field.

Rosebank won’t lower energy bills or deliver secure jobs. It will only delay the transition to clean, affordable energy while funnelling profits to fossil fuel corporations.

Our message to Prime Minister Andy Burnham is clear: , now.

The UK government is complicit in Israel’s war crimes against Palestinians – and now there’s even more evidence to prove it.

Last night’s Dispatches documentary exposed the calls being raised – and ignored – from within the government over Israel’s actions.

Anyone within the government responsible for aiding Israel’s crimes must be held to account.

More urgently, this has to be a wake up call for the UK government to:

❌End all arms transfers
❌Stop any political & economic support for Israel’s atrocities against Palestinians

Hold the UK government to account now: call for an end to UK complicity in Israel's war crimes.

Morocco said no to a mine. Now it’s being sued for £880m by a UK mining company.

This is possible because of Investor-State Dispute Settlement, or ISDS. It’s a clause in trade deals that allows corporations to sue countries in secretive ‘corporate courts’ over policies they don’t like – including policies that protect people and the planet.

Take action to end ISDS now:

Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) gives corporations a powerful tool to challenge governments over policies that threaten their profits.

These clauses in trade deals allow corporations to sue governments in secretive ‘corporate courts’ when governments introduce policies they don’t like – including action to protect people and the planet.

Join us for an evening of collective banner painting with Global Justice Now and Friends of the Earth, as we paint a giant banner ahead of the Global Days of Action against ISDS (15–17 October).

We’re making our message impossible to miss: the giant banner we paint together will be dropped from Westminster Bridge during our London action on 15 October.

Together, we’ll be getting ready to take our message to the streets: Stop Corporate Courts. End ISDS.

📅 Wednesday 23 September, 6pm–9pm
📍 Islington, London (location confirmed upon registration)
