RT Claudia Webbe MP
I’ve just voted against a government Bill, which seeks to ban public bodies and local councils from using Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions #BDS to challenge apartheid, climate injustice and human rights abuses.
The #AntiBoycottBill is toxic and must be opposed at every stage.

I've seen only two MPs speaking up against the #AntiBoycottBill . Labour's position is, as usual, to abstain, despite calling itself the opposition. Those MPs?
Caroline Lucas and Jeremy Corbyn.

The BDS bill, if passed, will open the door to stopping other boycotts, not just Israel. Despite what is happening in Jenin Refugee camp (biggest incursion in 20 years) and a bill suppressing the right to boycott, Labour will issue a whip to abstain.

John McDonnell MP will vote against the BDS bill 👏👏 the bill if passed, would stop public bodies from supporting any boycotting campaigns, not just against Israel.

The Vote on the Egregious BDS Bill is a Matter of Conscience

By John McDonnell MP I have been involved in successive boycott, disinvestment and sanctions campaigns for decades. In the 1980s, I remember one Christmas morning singing carols as part of the City…

The anti boycott bill parliamentary process began this week. Several jewish groups do not support this bill: the bill 'a clear example of antisemitism being instrumentalized to promote anti Palestinian politics and restrict our civil liberties. Anyone who thinks banning BDS helps the fight against antisemitism has no interest in actually fighting antisemitism.' Emily Hilton UK Director of Diaspora Alliance
