There’s a trickle of aid going into Gaza right now, as the population faces imminent famine. There needs to be a deluge. For every hour that the war goes on, the desperate need increases.

I spoke to Alex Wagner Tonight about the situation on the ground and the work of IRC - International Rescue Committee:

THEY’RE mortified?

Such a shame this woman never got to be Prime Minister as the West might have been saved by now

“David Cameron has given a more distinctive voice to British foreign policy” Flint Global managing partner @simonfraser00 tells Lucy Fisher FT World News

‘’The time has now come to review the policy…at least for the disrespect on international humanitarian law that has happened on Israel's side.’’

David Cameron could cut aid support due to possible breaches of humanitarian international law by the Israelis, says Simon Fraser

Belsize Village 1905 v 2009. So cool!

the sign in red doesn’t exist and Khan has said he won’t introduce a ppm scheme

So sorry to hear Hella Pick has died, at 94. She was one of a kind & we were privileged that, well into her 90s, she wrote for Prospect This was a sweeping piece comparing the world she fled on Kindertransport in 1939 with Putin today prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/38623…

A far more important question is whether Michael Gove still thinks #Brexit was a good idea…

My appeal BBC Radio 4 Today yesterday for the UK to suspend arms exports to Israel seems to have generated some interest. It was not a knee-jerk reaction to one awful incident. The deaths of the 7 aid workers brought into sharp focus a deep underlying problem. This was my argument 1/6

Here's what Ronald Reagan did when he got tired of civilian casualties from Israeli bombing (text by David C. Wills)

The devastating Israeli airstrikes that killed World Central Kitchen personnel yesterday bring the number of aid workers killed in this conflict to 196 – including more than 175 members of our own United Nations staff.

This is unconscionable.

Agreed. Ukraine is in a struggle for its existence as a sovereign country and is using US weapons to defend against enemy forces on its territory.

We are happy that Parth chose to join Flint and proud to be continuing our sponsorship of the Patchwork Foundation.

Try visiting Gaza.

What a dark day for opera in the UK. As ENO gives its last performance before the whole company is fired and re-hired as a seasonal company, it is announced that WNO is reducing orchestra contracts. Presumably other departments will also be cut. Arts Council England is a disgrace. 😡😢

So far as I can see the only government in the Middle East that might think it has an interest in a wider regional inter-state escalation is that of Israel. And perhaps the only one outside the Middle East is Russia.
