Trade of military goods is entirely controlled by the government

I'm not sure if there's direct funding but we certainly continue to support them militarily and sell them weapons via our arms companies

Edit:

According to Campaign Against Arms Trade, between 2016 and 2020, the UK issued single individual export licences for arms sales to Israel to a value of £400m.

Between 2018 and 2020 the British Ministry of Defence bought £46m worth of military equipment from Elbit

Edit 2:

Cleverly said that the UK-Israel trade relationship was worth about £7bn, with more than 400 Israeli tech firms operating in the UK.

12 out of 13000 UNRWA staff in Gaza are being accused of in some way being involved with Hamas. The UK immediately withdraws all funding.

Why do they not do the same when Israeli soldiers commit war crimes?

prioritising getting into power first, and then will focus on moving the country leftwards.

I keep seeing this but I struggle to believe it with no evidence whatsoever. Starmer ran for leadership with left wing promises and went back on them, why would he suddenly u-turn again when he gets into power? This just seems like a lie trying to persuade the left to hang around in a rightwards-creeping party

yes it is, somewhere on a convention centre site so it could be a Miami type thing though
