BBC News's John Simpson hitting the nail on the head:

"What this doesn't do in any way is sort out the Palestinian question"

"What it does is stop the agony that people in Gaza have been suffering for two years"

"But it doesn't create a future path for them"

"Maybe that can come"

Nigel Farage travels to the US to lick Donald Trump's boots once a month.

The Far Right isn't even British any more.

It is American, what a disgrace.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

If you wondered why Nigel Farage turned up in US Congress in September speaking about "freedom of speech", this story has the answer

His appearance was orchestrated by a powerful American anti-abortion group that is trying to increase its influence in the UK by influencing the free speech debate

Nigel Farage has finally admitted to it.

But now there's lots more questions especially considering Rupert Lowes intervention....

Kudos to ⁦‪@mehdirhasan‬⁩.

Not only did he invite me on his show in 2018 to talk about my investigation into Farage’s funders (no UK channel ever did).

But he also asked a former colleague of Nathan Gill’s in the EU parliament whether UKIP had ever taken Russian bribes 🔥

UK education secretary Bridget Phillipson has made clear she plans to exploit the pause in the Gaza genocide to snuff out criticism of Israel’s criminal actions – and her own government’s collusion in that criminality.

The federal food program helping more than 1 in 4 young children access fresh produce, milk, and formula will run out of funding next week.

Over 5 million children could lose food assistance — all thanks to the Trump-Republican shutdown.

The cruelty is endless.

The Gaza holocaust will be a litmus test for high-profile figures for decades. Everyone's comments or lack thereof on Israel's genocidal atrocities will be looked up and amplified whenever their name rises to public attention.

It will be the first step in determining whether anyone deserves to be listened to, taken seriously, or voted for. Their comments on Gaza in the mid-2020s will be the first gate through which they must pass to be considered worthy of attention by normal people.
