The Israeli West Bank thugs are not “settlers”. Their actions show that they are violent criminals for whom cruelty is an end of itself. Worse, in the videos we see Israelis, some younger than 15 yrs, witnessing & taking part in violence, learning cruelty & racism.

Labour seem to have reached the "we're going to lose our damages deposit, so we might as well wreck the place" stage of their tenure.
Keir Starmer's planning to make former First Minister Vaughan Gething a Lord according to The Times.
Mr Gething was FM for 4 months.
His time as leader was overshadowed by a controversial £200k donation to his leadership campaign.
He stepped down after 4 ministers resigned.
