These handbooks, entitled “A guide to holding the Prime Minister to account”, provides “a list of questions that journalists may wish to ask the Prime Minister in light of an ongoing genocide.”

Those questions include:

• Why has the Prime Minister ignored Corbyn’s demand for an independent inquiry?
• When will the PM and the Foreign Secretary be returning to the House to retract statements denying the genocide in Gaza?
• Will the government release video footage from RAF spy planes that have flown over Gaza?
• When will the government publish a full list of military shipments from the UK to Israel since October 2023?

The handbook starts by saying: “Since the government was elected in July 2024, the Prime Minister has held numerous press conferences to mark a range of policy announcements, from increases in military spending to the development of a theme park. These press conferences are an opportunity for the British media to hold the Prime Minister to account over the government’s role in Israel’s military assault on Gaza.”

“To that end, we trust this handbook will assist you in establishing truth and accountability.”

The handbook concludes: “Exposing the truth comes at a cost. In Gaza, journalists have paid with their lives. Here in Britain, journalists may damage personal relationships or hamper their professional ambitions. In an ongoing genocide, these risks are surely worth taking.”
