Speech in Lords Chamber - Wed 23 Jul 2025
Palestine Action Protests: Arrests

"My Lords, Palestine Action was proscribed after a five-year-long campaign of criminal sabotage and violence against working people.

European Convention on Human Rights

Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories

Counter Terrorism Policing: Arrests

Antisemitism on University Campuses

"We have heard many harrowing accounts today. Of course antisemitism has existed for millennia, long before the Hamas atrocities on 7 October, and it is a privilege to be in the presence today of so many people who have literally dedicated their lives, and have had to do so, to …..."
