Notes to editor

  • About the Poll: Data is from an online survey conducted by Survation. Fieldwork dates: 22nd – 26th May 2026. Sample size: 1,036 Labour Party members aged 18+ in the UK. Data was strictly weighted by region, gender, age group, and the 2025 Deputy Leadership vote. Margin of error is approximately +/- 3.8%. Survation is a member of the British Polling Council.
  • About the E1 Settlement: The E1 settlement plan is a proposed Israeli construction area in the occupied West Bank, located between East Jerusalem and the Ma’ale Adumim settlement bloc. If developed, it would link these settlements and effectively split the West Bank into northern and southern parts, severely restricting Palestinian territorial continuity and movement. It has long been viewed internationally as highly controversial because of its impact on the viability of a future contiguous Palestinian state.

About the Ally to Atrocities campaign

We are a coalition of British humanitarian INGOs working in the occupied Palestinian territory. Our colleagues have seen first-hand the scale of death and destruction in Gaza, as well as the escalations in violence in the West Bank. We’re joining together because we refuse to accept as normal both the horrors that Palestinians have faced and the UK Government’s complicity. We demand that the UK Government uphold both their legal and moral responsibilities to protect civilians and hold all perpetrators accountable.
