R.I.P. Dave Myers, one half of the Hairy Bikers' duo. Made me laugh, was a great cook and rode lots of bikes I would have liked to. Will be sadly missed.

"Ministers refuse to call Anderson comments ‘Islamophobic’ ..."

Senior Conservatives face mounting pressure to describe Lee Anderson's attack on Sadiq Khan as "Islamophobic" as the row over his comments entered its fifth day.

Ministers repeatedly declined to use the term to describe the former Tory deputy chairman's comments, with Home Office minister Michael Tomlinson forced to deny that he and his colleagues had been instructed not to use the word ...

As Israel hands out weapons to illegal settlers and the IOF initiate daily incursions into Palestinian occupied villages, the systematic murdering of children continues.

Many people are blaiming the SNP for the fiasco over the Gaza vote. Perhaps they did set a trap for Labour, but it was a trap Keir Starmer could easily have avoided by using a Labour Opposition Day to put forward his own preferred wording. He didn’t. That is not the fault of the SNP. If Labour did not like the SNP wording, some negotiations beforehand could have resolved that, but instead Labour lied about making contact.
No Party comes out of this well, but Labour made a real mess of things.

"Palestinian ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour broke down today near the close of his presentation to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), as he spoke of the effects of Israel's illegal occupation in Palestine on his nation's children and on the human rights of its people. The hearing is being televised live by Al Jazeera in English.

Julian Assange’s moment of truth has arrived – and the stakes are high

#Assange is a #criminal arse (#rape) and a self important one. Selective revelations were misguided and damaging to all. BUT amongst WikiLeaks material, 'These revealed details of US activities in Iraq and Afghanistan, including attacks on civilians. They also revealed details of the US treatment of prisoners in Guantánamo Bay’

Hamas cruelty, Gaza’s ordeal and a tide of fear sweeping Britain’s Jews

Another clumsy attempt by a sub ed to capture a complex and balanced article. It is worth reading, but the backlash is only too predictable.

‘But, he added, “huge numbers of Palestinian civilians are trapped in the middle. Israel is not at war with the Palestinian population but with Hamas.” Ordinary people were suffering, and more than a million were trapped in Rafah with nowhere to go’

London demonstrations (and Glasgow and Cardiff and…) demonstrations for ceasefire

• is unreported in The Guardian, The Times, The Fail

• is reported in the Independent - which states estimated numbers but has a headline about 12 people arrested (out of reported 200,000

• is relegated to an England only page in the BBC (numbers listed as 10s of thousands), but ignored in Scotland, Wales or NI

A fantastic example of ‘news management’.

"Israel has been put on trial for genocide and has been ordered to protect Palestinian lives, but has intensified its assault and is now regularly bombing and shelling Rafah, the tiny enclave it ordered Palestinians to move to as a safe haven, before what is expected to be a ground assault that will cause an even greater and completely avoidable humanitarian disaster."

"According to human rights group Euro-Med Monitor, Israel's assault on Gaza has killed and severely wounded well over 100,000 Palestinian civilians, mostly women and children, imposing famine on hundreds of thousands more and bombing schools and hospitals

"I’ll be voting #SNP at the General Election and I will not be doing so with fingers crossed that the rest of the UK will be doing the right thing and giving the Tories their marching orders. If the rest of the UK wants the Tories back in power then so be it. It’s not #Scotland's job to be Britain’s conscience. We’ve done that and it hasn’t worked. All we got in return is being told we don’t have the right to have a say in our future."

Because of this, doughball Reece-Mogg stated that they can win the GE:

"By delivering things they believe in and that means lower taxation, taking more of the advantages of Brexit, with more of the removal of EU retained law, it means doing less on the green issue that is making people cold and poor, and helping revitalise our economy."
