  • The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP 30 January 2020 Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA
    The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP 30 January 2020 Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA Dear Prime Minister, We are writing to you as a group of cross-party parliamentarians to express our grave concern over the contents of US President Donald Trump’s so-called ‘peace plan’ for Israel and the Palestinians. The plan presented on 28 January shows contempt for the rights of the Palestinian people and international law, and provides no realistic basis for a return to negotiations. Instead, it makes peace less likely, and threatens to undermine a fundamental principle of the post-WWII international legal order: the prohibition of annexation and territorial conquest. The long-standing position of the UK is that a negotiated peace settlement must be agreed to achieve a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders, leading to a safe and secure Israel living alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state that has secure and recognised borders, and with Jerusalem as a shared capital of both states. The vision presented by the US administration is one where Palestinians would have none of these: no true shared capital in Jerusalem, no sovereign control of its borders or security, and with Israeli control far beyond the Green Line. As a group of 16 UK charities warned this week: “if implemented [the plan] will lead to the formal annexation of Palestinian land, perpetual Israeli occupation, and the negation of Palestinians’ collective right to self-determination.” It is a plan that the Palestinians have no choice but to reject if they wish to maintain their fundamental rights, but that they will be punished for not accepting.

  • Vindication, Virtue, and Vitriol
    Journal of Computational Social Science https://doi.org/10.1007/s42001-020-00090-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Vindication, virtue, and vitriol A study of online engagement and abuse toward British MPs during the COVID-19 pandemic Tracie Farrell1 · Genevieve Gorrell1 · Kalina Bontcheva1 Received: 21 July 2020 / Accepted: 11 October 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract COVID-19 has given rise to a lot of malicious content online, including hate speech, online abuse, and misinformation. British MPs have also received abuse and hate on social media during this time. To understand and contextualise the level of abuse MPs receive, we consider how ministers use social media to communicate about the pandemic, and the citizen engagement that this generates. The focus of the paper is on a large-scale, mixed-methods study of abusive and antagonistic responses to UK politicians on Twitter, during the pandemic from early February to late May 2020. We fnd that pressing subjects such as fnancial concerns attract high levels of engagement, but not necessarily abusive dialogue. Rather, criticising authorities appears to attract higher levels of abuse during this period of the pandemic. In addi- tion, communicating about subjects like racism and inequality may result in accusa- tions of virtue signalling or pandering by some users. This work contributes to the wider understanding of abusive language online, in particular that which is directed at public ofcials.

He is therefore responsible for the forced redirection and landing of Ryanair passenger flight FR4978 at Minsk airport, without proper justification, on 23 May 2021. In so doing, Auramenka acted at the direction of Alexander Lukashenko and in conjunction with the Belarusian Ministry of Defence. These politically motivated decisions were aimed at detaining and arresting the opposition journalist and civil society actor Roman Protasevich and Protasevich’s partner Sofia Sapega and are a form of repression against civil society and democratic opposition in Belarus. Therefore, Aliaksei Auramenka is responsible for the repression of civil society and democratic opposition in Belarus and so undermined democracy and the rule of law there.

We believe Roman Protasevich is a hostage of Lukashenka. It is not ethical to discuss or comment on what he says in interviews, because state propaganda used him for a third time to show some kind of—I can’t even comment on those words. First of all, his girlfriend Sofia Sapega was detained with him and criminal charges were also brought against her. Secondly, the regime openly declared that the state will co-operate with the so-called law enforcement bodies of the unrecognised entity that is the Luhansk people’s republic.

  • The Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of State for Health And
    The Rt Hon Matt Hancock MP Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Department of Health and Social Care Ministerial Correspondence and Public Enquiries Unit 39 Victoria Street London SW1H 0EU 13 March 2020 Dear Secretary of State, Coronavirus and the social care workforce We are writing as cross-party Parliamentarians concerned about the urgent need to provide support to the social care sector in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. The social care sector plays a crucial role in supporting hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people in high-risk groups for Covid-19. There is a need to ensure both that there are strong protocols in place to keep vulnerable residents safe, and also to ensure continuity of care in the event that a significant proportion of the social care workforce has to take time off during the pandemic. We welcome the Chancellor’s commitment to provide local government with immediate financial support to protect adult social care services dealing with Covid-19 outbreaks, and the commitment that workers who self-isolate will be eligible for statutory sick pay from day one. We also welcome the guidance from NHS England advising NHS Trusts to: ‘Ensure that any member of staff, including bank staff and sub-contractors, who has to be physically present at an NHS facility to carry out their duties, receives full pay for any period in which they are required to self- isolate as a result of public health advice’. However, we are concerned that these actions will not protect the quarter of the social care workforce who are currently employed on zero-hours contracts, and that the drop in income which will result from receiving SSP may act as a disincentive to some social care workers to self- isolate, putting vulnerable people at risk.
