Netanyahu is determined. He won’t stop unless he is actively stopped.
It’s not about selling a few less weapons, pleading, expressing outrage & maybe ending a trade negotiation we never should’ve been in.
It’s about aggressive sanctions now, expelling the ambassador & our military delivering aid.

Just off the phone with President Zelenskyy.
We are coordinating closely on the next steps.
Europe has adopted its 17th package of sanctions.
An 18th package is being prepared with further hard hitting sanctions.
It’s time to intensify the pressure on Russia to bring about the ceasefire.

At 2.28pm yesterday, David Lammy told parliament the UK was suspending trade negotiations with Israel given the "appalling" situation in Gaza.
4.5 hours later, at 7pm UK time, another UK spy plane took off in aid of Israeli intelligence to surveil Gaza.

Why do BBC give Laura Kuenssberg free rein to write this drivel?
"The big picture is tough. The country's debts are massive and taxes are huge."
It's not even wrong/biased. It's just vacuous twaddle that adds absolutely nothing to public understanding of the issues.

Some medical staff slept in hospitals overnight so they would be ready to deal with the fall out of Storm Éowyn.
Please remember this the next time politicians tell you health workers don’t deserve a pay rise.

Nothing says 'the continued relevance of monarchy' quite like a billionaire, English, unelected king, dressed up as a Scottish laird, turning up at a food bank in a helicopter
The optics of King Charles visiting a foodbank wearing his best Scottish landed gentry outfit are absolutely atrocious.
