Sir Keir Starmer:

Debt contracts governed by UK law are crippling countries across the world, while making super-rich hedge funds even richer. We call on you to prioritise and pass legislation ensuring that private companies cannot burden lower income countries with unsustainable debt.

End debt colonialism
Baby Malik starved to death in Sri Lanka -- where a crushing debt crisis is pushing thousands of children under 5 over the edge of hunger.

It’s not just Sri Lanka: private companies are profiting off poverty and saddling the poorest countries in the world with colossal, unpayable debts - all so that finance execs in rich countries can sip champagne with the cash.

But the new UK government could change all of that. UK law governs 90% of debt contracts for low income countries - and a proposed law would stop these vultures from preying on poverty worldwide.

As MPs take their seats and weigh up their priorities, a huge petition will force this onto their radar. Together we can make sure the new government ends this debt colonialism - add your name now!
