In our weekly podcast OLD EVERALD AND YOUNG JAMES TALK POLITICS you can be sure you are not listening to political spin as we debate facts only. Today while we applaud #Gaza ceasefire we ask how it will immediately provide food clothing housing employment for 2 million Gazans on the brink of death.

If history remembers #TonyAbbott at all it will be as worst PM Australia ever had & as destroyer of #Liberals as political party. Sadly he thinks he is doing #God's will.

Exclusive: Abbott ‘disappointed’ by Andrew Hastie as right splinters

A fracturing of the Liberal right faction has created chaos within the party, leading to what MPs have called ‘incredible ... damage’ to the Coalition’s reputation and prospects.

Fundamentalist #Christians believe that #God has preordained all that happens in their lives. Am wondering how it was that God preordained that Hitler would kill 5 million Jews.

I sincerely hope that there will be lasting peace in #Gaza & that #Netanyahu will spend rest of his life in prison.

The ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas includes halting military actions, an Israeli withdrawal, increased humanitarian aid, and a prisoner swap. But it doesn't guarantee an end to the war or that Israel won't resume the genocide later.

I truly want to see president Zelenskyy win the Nobel Peace Prize. First of all, he completely deserves it and secondly, I want to see trump stroke out about it.

There is no reason whatsoever why #Hamas terrorists will agree to peace in #Gaza as #Israel has failed to defeat them after a 2 year war and Hamas is not concerned if innocent civilians die every day.

Just read the First Gentleman. Absolute cracker of a yarn by #BillClinton and #JamesPatterson about #female President of USA whose husband is charged with murder. In final chapter President implements economic revolution to save America. Its Clintons answer to #Trump. Well worth reading.

The only reason people like #GretaThunberg are trying to feed Palestinians is because Israel is deliberately starving them and the rest of the World's Governments won't stop Israel from starving Palestinians

Release of #GretaThunberg from #Israel prison simply means that she will now organise another attempt to bring food to starving people of #Gaza and millions will cheer her including me.
