Rather than 'Our Middle East Correspondent' - 'Our Spokesperson on behalf of the Israeli Military' is more accurate.

What's the point of Yolanda? It would be easier to put an Israeli spokesperson in her place. Talk of going to 'our' bomb shelters? She's in Jerusalem which as far as I know hasn't been targetted by Iran.

As Israel slaughters hundreds of people in Lebanon and Iran and forces hundreds of thousands to flee their homes in terror, & while it continues its genocide in Gaza, Yolande Knell reports on the disruption to the daily lives of Israelis.

BBC journalist outside RAF Fairford: "a demonstration of the size of the American firepower that they can bring to bear when these kinds of conflicts arise" Such a good job the Americans have all that firepower for when, checks notes, America starts wars.

Postpone The Celebrations - On the face of it the English High Court ruling that the Palestine Action proscription is unlawful makes the decision that the proscription remains in place pending appeal utterly illogical. But what if the High Court ruling is

There has been a gigantic transfer of public assets to private interests since 1979. Summary: - Failure to adopt Norway model for North sea oil - Loss £1-1.5tn - Council House sales - loss £300bn - Utility privatisation - Loss £100bn. This is why the UK is crumbling.

"We are setting up GB Railways which is going to bring the train operating companies into public ownership, stop the leakage of public £ to private shareholders" So why are you leaving the private rolling stock companies alone? They extract hundreds of millions from the system

It's all coming out now. If you, like me, were a 'victim' of McSweeney's coup, our suspicions are now publicly vindicated. Let's make Your Party work.

This could have been implemented in the first week of the war. Boris Johnson told Zelensky to carry on, 'we've got your back' - Over a million troops and civilians killed (we don't know the figures yet).

This is allegedly the 28 points of the peace plan, which will end over 11 years of proxy war: 1. Ukraine's sovereignty will be confirmed. 2. A full and comprehensive non-aggression agreement will be concluded between Russia, Ukraine, and Europe. All the ambiguities of the past

My constituent is one of six political prisoners on hunger strike, demanding the right to a fair trial and the de-proscription of Palestine Action. I have written to David Lammy to demand urgent action. The government knows the truth: the weight of history is against them.
