Close … but neither the Americans or Israelis can tell you what will happen to Palestinians because they probably hoped there wouldn’t be that many left alive to care for
Israel refuses to give up an inch of ‘their’ land & there is nowhere else for Palestinians to live. #bbcpm

Honestly never heard the ‘Never Here Kier’ sneer. But then I don’t read the Torygraph
Shouldn’t that be ‘Never here Sir Kier’ to you laddy??
Chris Mason. There’s a carbon footprint well spent #r4today

Aren’t all modern vehicle manufacturers able to switch off (I think he means block customer access to) the software?

Lessons from the holocaust must never be forgotten.
“There may not be gas chambers again” but it’s all to easy to imagine how a country gripped by hatred & fear will commit ethnic cleansing
Don’t believe it? … Just ask a Palestinian! #r4today

Let’s face it #r4today if you were Xi Jinping, would you take a lecture on human rights & imprisoning political dissenters from a UK prime minister who seems comfortable incarcerating political dissenters from JustStopOil to PalestineAction?

Johnson culled the Tory Party of all but its grimmest dregs & now the grimmest of the grimmest dregs are defecting to Reform. It would be funny if it didn't alllow them, along with Farage, to pretend that they're not responsible for the state of the nation.

Sorry but nothing about the Pretti murder resembles law enforcement #wato
He was set upon by a group of ICE agents, brought down, beaten while lying on the ground, had his gun removed from it’s holster before being shot at least six times

Moan all you like about the Tories lacking an agenda (beyond just sneering at Labour)
But what ‘agenda’ does ReformUK have exactly?
The only policy details we’ve had from Farage is to ‘end illegal immigration’ … & as best as I can recall that unravelled when journos asked about children #wato

The only thing that’s changed in the last 18months to make global security more volatile is Trump’s 2nd term.
Everything else from Gaza to Ukraine & the long running threat from Putin all happened while the Tories were “hollowing-out” defence spending #bbcaq
