Over a dozen members of Britain’s unelected upper chamber work for, or profit from, arms firms linked to Israel. The value of individual shareholdings is likely to be over £100,000 each, and is certain to have increased since 7 October.

Among the peers are two former defence ministers, an ex-cabinet secretary and two retired heads of the UK armed forces.

Our revelation raises concerns about how British parliamentarians are financially benefiting from the suffering in Gaza, with activists accusing them of “profiting from genocide”.

Our honest and critical reporting is needed now more than ever. We need people like you to back us.
