Cost of compulsory national service: £2.5bn a year.

Cost of pay rise for junior doctors that ministers insist is “simply unaffordable”: £2bn a year.

Outrageous to hear Foreign Office Minister in House of Commons undermine authority of the International Criminal Court. The ICC has jurisdiction in relation to any alleged crimes committed in Gaza and in the West Bank. All involved must uphold international law.
