The ICJ Advisory Opinion on the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem
Chi Onwurah (Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West)
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has provided the following answer to your written parliamentary question (83315):
Question:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to (a) comply with the ICJ Advisory Opinion entitled Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, published on 19 July 2024 and (b) prevent (i) trade and (ii) investment relations that help to maintain Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. (83315)
Tabled on: 20 October 2025
Answer:
Mr Hamish Falconer:
The UK is fully committed to international law and respects the independence of the International Court of Justice. We continue to consider the Court’s Advisory Opinion carefully, with the seriousness and rigour it deserves. The UK does not recognise the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including Israeli settlements, as part of Israel. Goods imported from the settlements are therefore not entitled to benefit from trade preferences under the UK-Israel Trade and Partnership Agreement. The UK also supports accurate labelling of settlement goods, so as not to mislead the consumer.
The answer was submitted on 29 Oct 2025 at 17:33.

Growth on the Ground in Banbury
Sean Woodcock (Banbury)
Kickstarting economic growth. That was the number one mission of the Labour Party ahead of the last General Election. There has been some progress. The UK had the highest growth in the G7 at the start of 2025, but it has not been all plain sailing. Tariffs and the need to raise revenue to fix

Amanda Martin MP welcomes landmark Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill – “A huge moment for Portsmouth’s future”
Amanda Martin (Portsmouth North)
Amanda Martin, MP for Portsmouth North, has hailed the publication of the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill as “a once-in-a-generation shift in power that will bring real benefits to Portsmouth’s communities, high streets and local economy.”
The Bill delivers the biggest transfer of power from Westminster to England’s regions and neighbourhoods in a century, giving local people a greater say over the issues that shape their daily lives from transport to housing, from local growth to protecting cherished community spaces.
Amanda Martin, MP for Portsmouth North said: “For too long, decisions about Portsmouth have been taken by people who don’t live here and don’t understand our challenges or potential. This Bill changes that. It puts power back where it belongs into the hands of communities and local leaders who know our city best.”
What the reforms mean for Portsmouth:
- Protecting our pubs, shops and sports grounds: Residents will gain a new Community Right to Buy, making it easier to save loved local assets from pubs and music venues to playing fields before they disappear for good. Amanda said this will be “a lifeline for treasured places that knit our city together.”
- Stronger high streets and support for small businesses: The Bill bans “upward-only” commercial rent review clauses, which force rents to rise even when market conditions worsen. This change will help small businesses and community groups secure affordable premises in areas like North End, Cosham and Drayton, tackling empty units and reviving local high streets.
- More say for local neighbourhoods: New neighbourhood governance will give residents a bigger voice in shaping planning, services and local priorities. “People in Portsmouth know exactly what their area needs this Bill finally gives them the tools and influence to make it happen,” Amanda added.
- Powers that support growth across our region: New strategic powers for mayors and combined authorities including those coming through the Hampshire & Solent devolution proposals will help drive long-term regional growth, unlock investment and get more money into people’s pockets. Local Growth Plans will be tailored to each area’s strengths, helping Portsmouth boost innovation, maritime jobs and clean-energy industries.
- Better transport, housing and public services: New flexible powers over planning, development, transport and licensing will mean faster decisions, less red tape, and services shaped around local need not Whitehall diktat.
- Ending Westminster hoarding power: This Bill marks a break with the past, after years of competitive bidding pots that forced councils to compete against each other for scraps.
Amanda Martin MP added: “Portsmouth has massive potential, but for years we’ve been held back by a system that hoarded power in London and starved local areas of the tools to thrive. Today is the start of a new chapter, one where Portsmouth leads the way in shaping its own future.”
“From making neighbourhood voices stronger to ensuring local money stays in the local economy, the Bill sets the foundation for efficient, accountable and locally driven governance.
“This is what real ‘taking back control’ looks like communities, not Westminster, in the driving seat. I’m determined to make sure Portsmouth North is one of the biggest winners from this era of renewal and regional pride.”

Stephen Morgan Champions Road Safety with Local Transport Minister During Road Safety Awareness Week
Stephen Morgan (Portsmouth South)
Stephen Morgan, Member of Parliament for Portsmouth South, has joined Minister for Local Transport Lilian Greenwood in supporting Labour’s upcoming Road Safety Strategy.
The Road Safety Strategy – is the first national plan in over a decade to tackle the rising number of deaths and serious injuries on Britain’s roads.
Across Portsmouth, residents have raised concerns about speeding, dangerous driving, poor enforcement, and pedestrian safety – particularly near schools, residential areas, and busy junctions.
City MP, Stephen Morgan, said:
“I’ve listened to the concerns of local people who are calling for action, not excuses.
“Road safety is about protecting lives, supporting families, and restoring confidence in our streets. I’m proud support plans to make our roads in Portsmouth safer, ensuring our community sees the benefits.”
“Every year, 1,600 people lose their lives on our roads, and thousands more are seriously injured. We would not accept this in any other area of public life – a tragedy for families and a huge cost of over £2 billion a year to our NHS.
Labour’s commitment to restoring order to our roads and protecting all road users is long overdue.”
The Road Safety Strategy is expected to be published soon and will mark a major step forward in Labour’s mission to restore order to Britain’s roads and protect every road user.

Norfolk MP urges government to think again on gun licensing proposals
George Freeman (Mid Norfolk)
George Freeman MP has expressed strong concerns about the Government’s proposed changes to gun licensing, warning that the plans to merge shotgun licensing with the tighter controls imposed on rifles and other firearms could impose unnecessary burdens on responsible certificate holders and undermine the economic and cultural fabric of rural communities. His comments come as leading countryside organisations—including the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) and Country Land and Business Association (CLA) raise their own objections to elements of the Government’s consultation.
BASC has warned that merging shotgun and firearms licensing systems, increasing administrative requirements, and extending vetting processes beyond what is necessary risk penalising law-abiding country sports participants while failing to address core issues of enforcement and resourcing within existing systems.
George Freeman MP, a long-standing member of BASC and long-time advocate for rural communities, has echoed these concerns:
“As a shotgun certificate holder myself, I fully share the concerns being raised. Anyone familiar with Norfolk will understand how integral shooting sports and the wider shooting community are to our rural way of life.”
Drawing on his personal background, he added:
“Having grown up on a local family farm—beating and shooting on our family shoot—and as a long-standing BASC member and strong supporter of country sports, I am fully aligned with BASC in opposing any proposal to merge the shotgun and firearms licensing systems. I am actively working with BASC on this issue.”
Mr Freeman highlighted the significant contribution that shooting makes to the countryside:
“Game shooting plays an important role in the countryside: supporting habitat management and wildlife conservation, generating much-needed revenue for low-income rural economies, providing affordable and healthy local meat, and sustaining vital outdoor recreation and rural community life.”
He stressed that the proposed changes could have far-reaching negative impacts:
“For those who participate in competitive shooting or who simply enjoy clay pigeon shooting, the Government’s proposals risk imposing unnecessary bureaucracy, delays, increased costs, and the very real possibility of people leaving the sport altogether. Gun shop owners could face a significant and damaging reduction in trade, and commercial shooting estates—highly valued for jobs, conservation, and local income—could suffer from reduced participation and fewer new entrants to the sport. All of this threatens rural jobs and livelihoods.”
Mr Freeman confirmed he is already pressing the Government to reconsider:
“I have raised these concerns—both my own and those of my constituents—directly with the Home Secretary. The previous Conservative Government had already consulted on changes in the aftermath of the tragic Plymouth shooting in 2021 and decided not to bring shotguns under the stricter Section 1 firearms licensing regime as they felt this would negatively impact legitimate rural uses. Of course we must make sure society is protected from the illegal use of firearms but I believe any changes to the licensing regime should be evidence based and not driven by ideology. Merging the two systems would further strain already overstretched police licensing departments and as has been pointed out by BASC, there needs to be more consistency and efficiency across firearms licensing teams, especially in training Firearms Enquiry Officer.
Freeman concluded ‘’ Whether intended or not, this feels like yet another attack on our rural way of life. Combined with the farm tax and the continued industrialisation of our countryside, the cumulative impact risks causing severe and lasting damage to rural communities. I am calling on the Government to think again, take off the blinkers, and start looking at our rural economies as a single entity —not in isolated silos.’’
Freedom from Fear Campaign – Tesco, Trostre
Dame Nia Griffith (Llanelli)
Violence, threats and abuse against retail workers is completely unacceptable.
I joined staff and campaigners at Tesco in Trostre on Friday to support Usdaw Union’s call to raise public awareness of this deplorable behaviour and give workers the confidence to speak out, report abuse and not accept it as part of the job.
Labour’s community policing guarantee includes new powers to ban repeat offenders from town centres / public areas and our Crime and Policing Bill removes the £200 threshold on dealing with shoplifting as a summary offence to drive up prosecutions and demonstrate shoplifting is being taken seriously. We’re also introducing a new, standalone, offence of assaulting a retail worker, giving workers in shops up and down the country the protection they need.

Labour bans ticket touting to protect fans from rip-off prices
Liz Kendall (Leicester West)
For too long, ticket touts have ripped off fans, using bots to snap up batches of tickets and
resell them at sky-high prices. They’ve become a shadow industry on resale sites, acting
without consequence.
This government is putting fans first.
Our new proposals will shut down the touts’ racket and make world-class music, comedy,
theatre and sport affordable for everyone.
The new rules make clear that:
Ticket resale above face value will be illegal – this will be defined in legislation as the
original ticket price plus unavoidable fees, including service charges
Service fees charged by resale platforms will be capped to prevent the price limit
being undermined
Resale platforms will have a legal duty to monitor and enforce compliance with the
price cap
Individuals will be banned from reselling more tickets than they were entitled to buy
in the initial ticket sale

Saving lives through Stem Cell donation
Jeff Smith (Manchester Withington)
Jeff Smith MP attended an event in Parliament to hear from young people raising awareness of the stem cell register in schools and playing a vital role in Anthony Nolan’s lifesaving mission.
We are encouraging more people from Manchester Withington, especially those aged 16-30 and people from minority ethnic backgrounds, to register as stem cell donors and help increase the chances that a match is available for everyone in need of a transplant.
Research shows that the younger the donor, the better the patient’s chance of survival, which is why Anthony Nolan recruits young people aged between 16 and 30 to its register. People from minority ethnic backgrounds are more likely to have a rare or unique tissue type which can make it harder to find a fully matched unrelated donor, which is why the charity also focuses on recruiting more people from minority ethnic backgrounds on the register.
People can join the Anthony Nolan stem cell register if they are aged 16–30, live in the UK, and are in good health. To find out more or to join the register, visit: Join the register | Anthony Nolan

Barking MP helps local beauty businesses “take over Parliament” for British Beauty Week
Nesil Caliskan (Barking)
Local beauty businesses and students showcased their contribution at a special event in Westminster.
Nesil Caliskan, Member of Parliament for Barking, helped local beauty businesses “take over Parliament” to celebrate this year’s British Beauty Week. Hairdressers, nail salons and beauty academy students – all from Barking and Dagenham – were invited to Parliament by the MP for a special reception and tour.
British Beauty Week is promoted by the British Beauty Council every year to celebrate the contribution of beauty businesses to our economy and high streets.
The theme of this year’s Beauty Week is the future of beauty, highlighting the industry’s innovation and sustainability. The UK beauty industry contributes over £31 billion to the economy each year and supports more than 85,000 jobs in London.
Commenting on the takeover, Nesil Caliskan, Member of Parliament for Barking said: “I invited local beauty businesses and students to takeover Parliament to celebrate their contribution, let them know how important they are for our community, and how much this government values them.
“They employ hundreds of local people, bring life to our high streets, and help people feel great every day. They are vital for our local economy, and today’s takeover proved the future of beauty is undoubtedly in Barking and Dagenham.”
Victoria Brownlie, Chief of Policy & Sustainability at the British Beauty Council, who was at the event, said: “The hair and beauty industry provides so much to so many and events like this help those working in the industry to feel seen, recognised and appreciated, just as they deserve to. Their social, cultural and economic contribution cements them as serious businesses, not just fluffy stuff that girls do, and we’re so grateful to Nesil for shining a light on this during British Beauty Week.”
Erica Brobbey, from Empress Hair and Beauty, a business in Barking, said: “It was an honour to join fellow beauty professionals in Parliament and proudly represent Barking and Dagenham’s thriving beauty community. Meeting other business owners and speaking with Victoria from the British Beauty Council was truly inspiring. The event highlighted the real impact our industry has, not just economically, but in the confidence and wellbeing it brings to people every day.
“I’m proud to be part of a community that continues to empower others and contribute so positively to the local economy. Events like this show that the future of beauty is bright, and it’s happening right here in Barking and Dagenham.”

October Newsletter
Mohammad Yasin (Bedford)
Dear Constituent,
Coming out of the summer recess, a short sitting in Parliament, and then straight into party conference season always feels like a bit of a whirlwind, but I have been very pleased with the amount of work that has still happened in Westminster this year.
With landmark progress on the world stage, important policy announcements at home, visits, openings, debates, there’s plenty to digest from the last month or so. And of course, work in the constituency continues at pace, including helping constituents with casework matters.
In such a busy time, it’s more important to me than ever to hear from you on the issues that matter most, and I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to get in touch about their views, issues, and concerns. My team and I are here to help, so please do reach out!
Yours sincerely,
Mohammad Yasin MP
Constituents get in touch
Since my last newsletter, my office has created over 800 new cases for constituents, receiving nearly 2,000 emails, as well as letters and phone calls, and issues raised at my drop-in surgeries.
Being here to listen, and offer my help and support, is my first priority as your MP. My team and I will always do all we can to help, or direct people to alternatives on issues that we can’t assist with ourselves. Constituents are always welcome to get in touch, with the easiest way being to email office@mohammadyasin.org. Please include your name and address, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
As well as helping out with issues to do with visas, housing, access to health services, and lots of other casework queries, I have also heard from many of you about a number of recent events and announcements. One such topic is the Government’s proposal to introduce a Digital ID system. I completely understand why people have questions and concerns, particularly given the amount of confusing and sometimes misleading information circulating online.
While I welcome open discussion about how technology can improve access to services, I regret that so much misinformation has spread before we even know the final shape of the plans. Some of the claims circulating, such as that people will be constantly tracked or required to show ID to go about daily life, are simply not true. Many democratic countries already use digital identity systems successfully, with strong protections in place to keep personal freedom and privacy at their core.
That does not mean there are no legitimate concerns. Questions about privacy, data security,
and oversight must be taken very seriously, and I share the view that trust will depend entirely
on how the system is designed and introduced. We must avoid any unnecessary burden on people, ensure data is protected, and make sure there are strict limits on how and when information can be used. There must also be robust alternatives for anyone who does not want to use the digital system.
In simple terms, what’s being proposed is a free and optional digital form of identification, designed to make it easier to access certain public services, such as tax, childcare, or driving licence applications. It could be stored on a smartphone or similar device, but no one would be forced to use it. The only situation where the Government has said a Digital ID might become mandatory is for the existing “Right to Work” check that employers already have to carry out; and even then, this would not mean needing to carry around Digital ID to present in our daily lives, and would not involve the Government gathering new data that it doesn’t already hold.
It’s also important to be clear that no final decisions have been made. The Government has said there will be a full public consultation, and any system would need to go through Parliament before it could become law. That means MPs will be able to scrutinise, amend, or reject the proposals, and many important details are still to be worked out. These include how to best protect personal data, how to support people who don’t use smartphones, and what privacy safeguards must be built in.
As your Member of Parliament, I will examine the proposals closely when they come before the House, and I will push for strong safeguards, clear limits on use, and proper oversight. I will also encourage constituents to take part in the consultation once it opens, so that your voices are heard. This is exactly the kind of issue where thoughtful public input can make a real difference.
In the constituency
It’s been another busy month across Bedford and Kempston, here’s a round up of my meetings and visits:
- Westfield Primary School to see progress on their new nursery, one of the first in the country to benefit from expanded government-funded childcare. With Phase 2 now launched, backed by £45m, at least 300 more school-based nurseries will follow.
- The opening of newly-laid pitches at Bedford Sports and Hockey Centre. With £400m announced nationally for grassroots sport, it’s fantastic to see local investment already in action.
- Bedfordshire Festival of Walks, hosted by the Ramblers, celebrating our countryside and community. It was a pleasure to join in on a walk.
- I joined the Police and Crime Commissioner, Chief Inspector Andy Smith and community officers for a town centre walkabout. We discussed anti-social behaviour, shoplifting, e-scooters and community safety. The “Safer Streets, Safer Town Centre” initiative is already showing encouraging results.
- Daisy Hill Family Hub’s community event, enjoyed by families of all ages.
- I enjoyed Simon’s “Paintings of Bedford” exhibition in aid of the Kings Arms Project.
- Food etc’s “Building a Healthier Bedford Together” event, highlighting their brilliant cookery workshops.
- I was inspired by Year 12 students at Mark Rutherford School, who asked thoughtful questions on policing, healthcare, AI, jobs and more. Giving young people a real voice through votes at 16, investment in youth services, and opportunities for skills and apprenticeships is vital.
- I met Kiran Singh of The Sattva Collective, a new CIC supporting South Asian women through midlife and menopause.
- I received an update from Mike Berrill on plans for an Open Learning school in Bedford, supporting children within an alternative education setting where they can flourish.
- I attended the opening of Casablanca Hammam & Spa, Bedford’s first Moroccan spa.
- I spoke at the launch of Crispy Dosa’s new restaurant, creating 25 local jobs.
- I was delighted to join Ashley Dalton, Minister for Public Health at the opening of Bedford Hospital’s new Community Diagnostic Centre.
- I was pleased to attend East Bedford PCN’s community coffee morning, raising awareness of cancer screening with support from local organisations and GPs.
- I attended Hanover Court’s charity afternoon tea with Cllr Colleen Atkins.
- I met with Bedford Borough Council officers and taxi/private hire representatives to discuss improvements to the licensing system.
Labour Conference
This year’s conference offered a great opportunity for Ministers to reflect on the progress made over the last year, as well as laying out the work they’re doing to continue the project of delivering a decade of national renewal.
Outside of the big speeches, Labour’s conference had hundreds, if not thousands, of discussion panels and other events. I was pleased to take part in one as a panellist, speaking on my experiences and focus as an MP as Labour has moved from opposition to Government. To me, the priorities are the same; being an accessible, hard-working representative for our community all year round. There is no doubt that being in Government comes with its own challenges and opportunities, but for me, both can be handled by remembering who we work for, and what they want to see from their representatives.
These principles were shared by the Prime Minister in his Leader’s Speech. We’ve seen too many people trying to use patriotism and our flags as a means to divide Britain in recent months, so I was very pleased to see the Prime Minister presenting a strong case for a progressive, Labour form of patriotism. This means building Britain up, not talking the country down; building bridges with our neighbours, confident enough in who we are to work with others despite our differences; and focussed on overcoming the challenges we face as a nation, together, in unity.
As well as a clear statement on this Government’s identity, the Prime Minister spoke on his policy priorities. As he and the Chancellor have always said, the keystone to delivering the national renewal, world-class public services, secure housing for all, education that sets our children up for life, and more, is an economy strong enough to support it. The Chancellor’s speech was all about renewal. She reflected on Labour’s first year in government, fixing the foundations, restoring economic stability after years of Conservative mismanagement, and putting public finances back on track. With those foundations more secure, the government is now focused on renew and rebuild.
The Health Secretary took to the Conference stage and pulled no punches standing up against Reform’s plans to sell out our NHS in favour of a more American-style insurance-based system, and setting out Labour’s bold vision to renew our health and care services. From 2027, a new NHS Online service will act as a pioneering “online hospital”, delivering the equivalent of 8.5 million extra appointments in just three years. That means faster treatment, shorter waits, and patients back in control of their care.
He also confirmed the first-ever Fair Pay Agreement for care workers, backed by £500m, ending poverty pay and insecurity in social care. Labour has already delivered 5 million extra appointments, 2,000 new GPs, 700,000 dental slots, and NHS pay rises above inflation. Waiting times are already the lowest in 3 years but we won’t stop until we’ve cut waits from 18 months to 18 weeks and built a National Care Service worthy of the name. Only Labour can be trusted with the NHS.
Investing in our future is always worthwhile. A renewed approach to providing young people with the training and opportunities they need to start good careers will have a huge impact for many. Expanding on previous further education goals, there is now a target of two-thirds of young people going to university or undertaking gold-standard apprenticeships. I look forward to seeing the impact this can have for us here in Bedford and Kempston, where we have a proud history of first-class education across the board.
Each year’s Labour conference has a unique feel, a snapshot of the mood around the country within the party. This year, I was greatly enthused by the level of energy going into growing, learning, and working together towards common goals. As the second year of this Labour Government continues, I look forward to building on our progress so far and delivering the change Britain needs into the future.
In Westminster
I was pleased to be able to take part in a Westminster Hall debate to raise concerns about changes to the Adoption and Special Guardianship Support Fund (ASGSF), which provides therapeutic support for vulnerable children. I welcomed the Minister’s confirmation that the fund will continue next year, with applications open for 2026–27.
Regarding Israel’s actions in Qatar, I raised a question to the FCDO Minister, Hamish Falconer. There are real concerns about the implications of Israel’s strike in Qatar for peace and stability in the Middle East, and on UK foreign policy. In light of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s extra-judicial killings, I asked if the Government would go further than condemning the attacks against a sovereign Western ally, and uphold international law, ban all arms to Israel and impose severe sanctions on the Israeli Government.
On World Suicide Prevention Day, I raised the issue of harmful online content and the accountability of tech companies during Science, Innovation & Technology Questions. I welcomed the strengthening of the Online Safety Act, which requires platforms to protect users from illegal and harmful content. But charities like the Molly Rose Foundation (MRF) remain concerned that major platforms may not be fully complying, especially on risk assessments.
Ofcom has requested risk assessments from over 60 services, including smaller but high-risk platforms. I asked the Government what further steps it is taking to ensure Ofcom enforces the law robustly. The Minister confirmed platforms now have a legal duty to act, with fines of up to 10% of global revenue for breaches, and that Ofcom has already launched 12 investigations. But action must match words, and regulators must hold platforms to account.
During Transport Questions, I asked the Secretary of State for Transport, Heidi Alexander for assurances that the transport plans for the proposed Universal Studios resort in Bedford, expected to attract around 8 million visitors each year, will prioritise a public transport system fit for the 21st century. I emphasised the need for a comprehensive, sustainable network from day one: modern electric rail connections to key regional hubs, frequent and affordable electric bus services, and safe, well-designed walking and cycling routes. These measures would ease pressure on local roads, cut emissions, and ensure that residents as well as visitors can travel conveniently and sustainably.
I attended a very well attended debate to discuss the e-petition calling for the ability to “Retain the legal right to assessment and support in education for children with SEND”. After a constituent wrote in to tell me about his experience with neurodiversity, explaining that although he was diagnosed with autism in lower school, it wasn’t until upper school that teachers truly understood his needs and he began to flourish, and so I wanted to reinforce the point that we must improve routine screening for neurodivergent conditions so every child can be identified early, supported properly, and given the best chance to learn and reach their full potential. This autumn, the Government will publish its SEND White Paper of its proposals to fix the system. This is a critical opportunity, and we must ensure it does not dilute hard-won rights.
Labour’s Employment Rights Bill was presented to the House, and I was incredibly pleased to support this core manifesto pledge. This is the biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation and the first step in our Plan to Make Work Pay. Meanwhile, the Tories and Reform voted against plans to boost working conditions, including extending sick pay to 1.3 million of the lowest earners.
This landmark Bill which is now in its final parliamentary stages will deliver; day-one rights to protection from unfair dismissal, plus stronger redundancy safeguards; stronger sick pay, extending Statutory Sick Pay to 1.3 million of the lowest earners and removing unfair waiting days; a ban on exploitative zero-hours contracts and “fire & rehire” tactics; fair pay agreements in adult social care and re-establishing a negotiating body for school support staff; day-one paternity and parental leave, new bereavement leave, and stronger protection for pregnant women and new mums; and flexible working from the start of employment and a duty on employers to give real reasons if they refuse.
Labour Governments have a long and proud record of improving pay and conditions for working people, and this landmark bill is another mark of progress for the history books.
The humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to be deeply concerning. It is vital that the peace plan must now be accompanied by the immediate lifting of all restrictions on life-saving humanitarian aid to Gaza. I fully support the UK Government’s critical role in making progress, from recognising the state of Palestine, to calling for the Israeli Government to allow the UN and other agencies to deliver aid safely and securely, using all crossings and routes. The UK remains in close contact with Israeli authorities over the status of vessels seeking to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. I now call on all parties to build the foundations for a just and lasting end to the conflict and a sustainable path to a long-term peace. The UK will support these crucial immediate steps and the next stage of talks to ensure the full implementation of the peace plan. The progress we’re seeing is certainly welcome, but now more than ever, we cannot take our eyes off of Gaza and allow the fragile peace to break.

Giving Children in Bassetlaw the Best Start in Life
Jo White (Bassetlaw)
Sure Start was life-changing for so many people in Bassetlaw, transforming the lives of children by putting in place family support in the earliest years of life. Sure Start, introduced by the last Labour government, helped level the playing field for children from lower income families, with research showing that children who attended a Sure Start centre were much more likely to perform better at school.
The previous Government cut community services, scrapping Sure Start, leaving a gaping hole in family services. When they left government, one in four families with children under five couldn’t access local children’s centres, rising to one in three lower income families. Speaking to local families in Bassetlaw, I hear time and again an ask for more support around SEND, youth services, and early development.
I welcome the news that the Government are building on the proud legacy of Sure Start, and reviving family services by rolling out 1,000 ‘Best Start Family Hubs’ by April 2026, including here in Bassetlaw.
Best Start Family Hubs will be a one stop shop for parents needing support, including on difficulty breastfeeding, housing issues or children’s early development, and other services such as:
- Activities for children aged 0-5
- Domestic abuse support
- Early language support
- Health Visiting
- Infant Feeding Support
- Midwifery/maternity services
- Parenting Support
- SEND support and services
- Youth services

A good catch-up with Edwin and Andrew from Neighbourhood Watch
Wendy Morton (Aldridge-Brownhills)
It was great to call into Neighbourhood Watch in Pelsall again and catch up with Edwin and Andrew.
We discussed a range of local issues across the Rushall, Shelfield, Pelsall, and Brownhills Neighbourhood Watch area. Our focus was on how we can work together as one community to address these challenges.
It was also fantastic to hear about Project Phoenix – a pilot community-run initiative launched by Walsall Council! This project is dedicated to building a stronger community right across our Borough, and I’m really keen to see the positive impact it will have.
The Third Runway: A Monument to Mediocrity
Kit Malthouse (North West Hampshire)
An abridged version of this article ran in The Times on 3rd February 2025
In 2007, in the pages of this newspaper, I argued that Britain should seize the moment and move Heathrow to the Thames Estuary, freeing up the congested west London site for much-needed housing while creating a world-leading transport hub fit for the 21st century. It was an ambitious plan—perhaps too ambitious for a nation that has lost its appetite for grand infrastructure. Seventeen years later, what do we have? The same tired debates, the same dithering, and now, a third runway proposal that represents the absolute minimum of what could be done. It is not a vision; it is a concession to stagnation.
Throughout history, Britain built infrastructure that transformed cities and continents. The Victorians laid thousands of miles of railways across India and Africa. British engineers built the world’s first underground railway in London, the great docks of Hong Kong, and the vast shipping hubs that made global trade possible. Ours was once a nation that saw scale and complexity as challenges to be overcome, not reasons to prevaricate. Today, while China constructs floating airports in Hong Kong and Dalian, we are still arguing over a few extra miles of tarmac at an aging airport hemmed in by suburban sprawl.
The case for expanding Heathrow is undeniable. The airport operates at near capacity, with any disruption causing delays that ripple across the global aviation network. Additional capacity is needed. But the third runway is not a bold leap forward—it is an unimaginative compromise. The design is a relic of a bygone era when Britain was still willing to approve large infrastructure projects but had already begun its slow descent into cautious incrementalism. Surely for a solution we should be looking beyond the immediate horizon, daring to create something transformative.
Compare this to the grand infrastructure ambitions of Asia. Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok, which replaced the legendary but perilous Kai Tak airport in the 1990s, was built on reclaimed land. It was a marvel of engineering (mostly British), completed in just six years. Now, China is taking the concept even further: Dalian is constructing a floating airport, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. This is a country that doesn’t simply accept geographic limitations—it overcomes them. Britain, meanwhile, is paralysed by protest groups, endless consultations, and political hand-wringing.
A floating airport in the Thames Estuary—an idea proposed and swiftly dismissed—would have been a statement of ambition. London could have had its own Chek Lap Kok, a world-class hub unencumbered by the constraints of Heathrow’s location. Instead, we are left with a piecemeal expansion of an outdated site, in a project that will take decades and still leave Britain trailing behind.
The environmental argument against expansion is often cited as a reason for delay, but it is a red herring. Modern aviation is rapidly advancing towards lower emissions and greater efficiency. If the concern is air pollution and carbon footprints, the answer is not to stifle airport expansion but to embrace new technology, support cleaner aviation fuels, and invest in modern air traffic management. Britain should be leading these efforts, not using environmental concerns as an excuse for stagnation.
The economic cost of our hesitation is immense. Aviation is a key driver of trade, tourism, and investment. Heathrow’s constraints mean we lose out to European rivals, with airlines shifting long-haul routes to Paris, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt. The third runway, even if built, will do little to reclaim lost ground. By the time it is operational—assuming it even survives the judicial challenges that will inevitably come—other nations will have long since surpassed us.
What Britain needs is a fundamental shift in mindset. We must stop viewing major infrastructure projects as necessary evils to be endured and start treating them as national priorities. This requires reforming our planning laws, streamlining approval processes, and fostering a political culture that celebrates engineering excellence rather than recoiling from it.
The third runway at Heathrow is not the answer—it is a symptom of our decline. Instead of an afterthought tacked onto an aging airport, we should be considering radical alternatives: offshore airports, high-speed rail integration to regional hubs, and a renewed commitment to infrastructure that places Britain at the forefront of global connectivity. We were once a nation that built the world’s most advanced transport networks, that pioneered engineering breakthroughs others only dreamed of. We can be that nation again—but only if we stop settling for mediocrity and start daring to think bigger.
The world is not waiting for Britain to catch up. While we squabble over a single new runway, China is building entire new airports on water. The contrast is stark, and the lesson is clear: boldness breeds success, hesitation ensures decline. If Britain truly wishes to remain a global player, we must abandon the timid incrementalism of the third runway and embrace the kind of audacity that once made us great.

Dan Jarvis' Christmas Message
Dan Jarvis (Barnsley North)
Christmas is a very special time. It's when we come together with friends and family to take stock, and give thanks for what we have.
Some years – in the best of times, this is cause for celebration.
Other years – it's more complicated if we're missing loved ones,
affected by illness, or facing money worries, homelessness, or loneliness.
Sometimes – let’s be honest, for many reasons, Christmas can just be about getting through it, and that's ok!
Because regardless of the year that’s been, or the circumstances you find yourself in, Christmas offers everyone a precious gift – hope.
