Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested as complex issues remain a day after widespread jubilation over the return to Israel of the last 20 living hostages held in Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

Nearly 30% of your Energy bill is profit, and that's just for the big companies.

If Energy was nationalised bills could be nearly halved overnight, the infrastructure is only worth £109.5bn.
