Bravo @zarahsultana for securing the Westminster Hall debate currently underway & a powerful speech on UK arms sales to Israel. Calls for an embargo have been made before: evidence of misuse of UK-supplied weapons has been clear long before the current genocidal assault on Gaza

Museum friends: When you loan items out for research, do you ask recipients to fill out a facilities/security assessment form? I've been looking at the standard UKRG forms, but they only really work for exhibition loans to other museums. Has anyone created their own version?
