.@michaeljknowles grills Clavicular on ‘bonesmashing’: MK: “You punch yourself in the face?” Clavicular: “Yes…I used to use a hammer, but my parents would go into my bathroom and take it away.” MK: “Are there any downsides to hitting yourself in the head with a hammer?”

Yes, a delightful chap who will surely make a positive contribution to society.
I’m delighted that Alaa Abd El-Fattah is back in the UK and has been reunited with his loved ones, who must be feeling profound relief. I want to pay tribute to Alaa’s family, and to all those that have worked and campaigned for this moment. Alaa's case has been a top priority

A proud moment.
UN voting shift: for the first time ever, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Czechia, Bulgaria & Latvia withheld support for renewing UNRWA's mandate. See 2022 vs. 2025 votes. We had presented evidence of UNRWA terror ties before the German and Italian Parliaments: https://t.co/JzOkebQ7sg
