Labour Friends of Palestine and the Middle East (LFPME) is a parliamentary group within the British Labour Party that promotes support for Palestine and campaigns for "peace and justice in the Middle East through the implementation of international law and respect for human rights".[1] LFPME was formed in 2009 as a private company.[2] It was re-established as a private limited company in 2023.[3]

According to their website, "LFPME supports a viable two-state solution that delivers justice and freedom for the Palestinian people as called for by the overwhelming international consensus and enshrined under international law and in UN resolutions."[1]

It was chaired by Julie Elliott until 2024. The late Jo Cox was a supporter, and so is former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.[1]
