Kate Ferguson Congratulations on your exclusive about the possible date of the election which manages to say almost exactly the same things as nineteen billion other exclusives about the possible date of the election only in slightly different words.

Israel:

'We're doing everything we can to deliver aid'
'We're doing everything we can to deliver aid'
'We're doing everything we can to deliver aid'

(worldwide condemnation of killing of aid workers)

Fucking hell. A (mainstream, popular) photography company offered parents the chance to buy a school photo that didn’t include the disabled children. It really is a reminder just how much some of the public believe disabled people should be wiped from society.

When I worked at The Independent, we understood these are consequences the UK has inflicted on itself through Brexit - not something the EU has “done to us”

Sadly that understanding appears to have been lost…. 🙄

Now 17 days - which must be stretching the definition of 'in the coming days' ?

Maybe Cameron will have more to say when he speaks to Tory MPs this evening.....

For three years, since the Foreign Office gobbled up the Department for International Development, critics have highlighted the loss of vital expertise in aid & development work.

Now, finally, the government has admitted they are right to worry.....

Between threatening a 'bloodbath' if he's not elected to claiming that immigrants aren't people, here's how Trump is drawing from Hitler's playbook.

Number of days since David Cameron said UK would rule on whether Israel is breaching humanitarian law in Gaza…..”in the coming days”

(and decide whether to suspend arms sales)
