🚨Our collaboration with @declassifiedUK sets out how the media has failed to report on UK spy planes over Gaza. "Of the 1359 pieces in UK media from December 2023-June 2025 referencing Akrotiri, none in mainstream media has focused on the spy flights".

I've written some analysis about Jeremy Corbyn's new party. It's reported that it will be an indy-friendly project - and is likely to focus heavily on Gaza and climate. This could be a big challenge for the SNP and Greens among their young voters ✍️.

Why did the SNP MPs abstain on the Palestine Action vote last night? It's down to Labour's "cynical manipulation of parliamentary procedure", writes @BrendanOHaraMP. Read his full piece for @ScotNational setting out the party's position .

A lot is written about the welfare system by journalists who have never encountered DWP processes. But in our new series, two of our reporters write thoughtfully about their own experiences - firstly on applying for disability benefits.

🚨 We're live blogging all day as MPs are set to vote on proscribing Palestine Action. Independent Alliance MPs are calling this an "outrageous clampdown on civil disobedience" and an "assault on the democratic rights of us all". Follow here for updates.
