Interesting observation from @zackpolanski.bsky.social separating courageous journalism esp war zones & investigative reporting vs the class of political talking heads & columnists amplifying division and rage. Also on media ownership. Big mistake of last Labour Gov was not taking this head on.

Over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers and soldiers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in the last two years.
According to the UN, October was the deadliest month for settler violence since it started keeping track in 2006.

Finally … FINALLY! … but ONLY because if the pressure being put on Rachel Reeves / Labour by Zack Polanski and the Green Party. And he sounds a sensible note of caution - wait and see if they actually do it. 🙏
If this is true - this should have happened a long time ago.
The Green Party alongside campaigners have been calling for this - and it's good to see maybe they've finally listened.
Will reserve relief for all children being lifted out of poverty until we know it's happening.
