With @labourchr and @corpjusticeuk, we explored how we can make a Business, Human Rights and Environment Act work in practice.
Thank you @kevinbonavia @AlexBallingerMP @attorneygeneral and @leighday_law for being involved.

Great to have been out canvassing for @alistrathern this morning and afternoon.
Lots of people on the doorstep saying they're going to vote Labour and know Alistair is the only way to keep the Tories out.

The war on #Gaza is a war on women.
More than 540,000 women and girls in Gaza are of reproductive age and urgently need access to appropriate items to support hygiene, health, dignity, and well-being.

ALT Being a woman in Gaza: no health, no dignity, no privacy.

26 years ago, the Good Friday Agreement was signed - one of Labour's proudest achievements.
Courageous leadership like Mo Mowlam's brought peace and power-sharing to Northern Ireland.
Today, we celebrate the progress made since then and must never take it for granted.

Last week I asked the government whether or not the Foreign Secretary had received legal advice saying that there is a clear risk that items licensed by the UK might be used to commit or facilitate a serious violation of international humanitarian law.
I didn’t get a clear answer. This raises serious questions about whether the government is complying with its own law.
David Cameron and Rishi Sunak must now clean and publish the legal advice they have received.

.@volker_turk condemns killing of @WCKitchen team in #Gaza. Like other humanitarian workers, they were performing urgent lifesaving work. This attack must be independently & fully investigated. Accountability is essential. Israel must respect & protect all humanitarian workers.

Sunday is the International Day for the Right to Truth about Human Rights Abuses.
On this day and every day, we emphasize the right to truth & pay tribute to those who devote their lives to the human rights of all. un.org/en/observances/right-…

We need an immediate humanitarian ceasefire.
We want it to last.
That means it must be observed by all sides.
That means the hostages must be returned.
That means aid must get in unhindered.
And it requires a roadmap for a diplomatic process to deliver a two-state solution.

Gaza is in a humanitarian emergency. Labour is calling for:
- £10 million extra in humanitarian aid.
- Appointing a UK special coordinator for aid to Gaza.
- UK emergency relief & medical experts.
- Funding for UNRWA.
- Insist fuel can get to Gaza.

It was a pleasure to moderate this excellent discussion. You all made excellent, insightful points and I could honestly listen to you talk about the relationship between sports and human rights for hours! Thank you

Currently happening: our co-hosted event with the Labour Campaign for Human Rights on Sports and Human Rights.
With: @JeffSmithetc, @ZidanSports, @stevecockburn, @KatCraig1 & @jpmlynch, as we tackle what stance Labour should take on sports events linked to human rights abuses.

Fantastic to hear @SDoughtyMP state resolutely that learning the lessons of Srebrenica and standing as one with the House in support of #AtrocityPrevention would be a priority for a Labour government 👏 #UKMAprev

Lord @AlfDubs promotes a better sort of politics. He works to keep refugee rights & asylum policies in the HOL chamber – and gives humanity to these issues. Dubs was himself a child refugee who fled the Nazis in 1939, later becoming an MP, charity CEO, and member of the Lords. ❤️
We're excited to welcome Lord @AlfDubs as our Honorary President.
An emblematic figure of the Labour Party and a staunch human rights advocate, we couldn't be prouder to have him on board. xitter.cf/LabourCHR/status/16181…

Great stuff @RhonddaBryant. The RAB has committed terrible crimes and abuses in #Bangladesh and there’s no doubt if this Gov was serious about #magnitsky sanctions the RAB / its leadership would be on the list. @LabourCHR #sanctions #humanrights
Citing the latest @AJIunit report on Bangladesh, UK Labour MP Chris Bryant (@RhonddaBryant) queries UK FCDO minister for Indo-Pacific @annietrev re: sanction (or lack thereof) against Rapid Action Battalion. Very strong statement 👌 Vid. via @ZulkarnainSaer

The UK should unequivocally condemn the recent executions in #SaudiArabia and the use of the death penalty. We must use our close relationship to press for a change in approach in Saudi Arabia, calling for an end to executions and the release of Hussein Abo al-Kheir.
