I'm very concerned about all the #GlobalSumudFlotilla detainees, but especially Hannah Schafer, who seems likely to be held in extended detention in Israel. Israeli armed forces have committed grave and multiple breaches of international law in attacking the flotilla and mistreating its crew.

The Chancellor says airport expansion will grow the economy.

But here’s the truth: business travel is flat, and more Brits fly out than tourists fly in.

So who’s benefiting? Mostly wealthy frequent flyers.
