How generous of Israel to offer ethnically cleansed people of northern Gaza a chance to go back to live in rubble and unexploded ordnance. How generous to offer to release hundreds of Palestinian hostages. How generous to offer 40 days 'truce' before the Gaza genocide restarts.

The question is will it be UK- European- or US-supplied weapons the Israelis use to murder British soldiers delivering aid to the poor people of Gaza?

Haha Liverpool beaten by Everton. Cue a mass whine by the grubby Red fans. Haha.

We don't always have military jets practising over Peterborough. But, when we do, I always think they are getting ready to bomb the latest perceived enemy. Off to help the Israelis with their genocide in Gaza, perhaps, or to help Israel stir up WWIII by bombing Iran?

'I was just outside Buckingham Palace on the Mall and heard loads of galloping and looked behind and there were about three or four horses. Two of them were sprinting up towards Trafalgar Square and there was a white one covered in blood as well.'

If Rwanda is 'safe' why do UK Gov need to invent a law stating this as 'fact'? If Rwanda is 'safe', why do UK Gov think a threat of a trip there will stop people crossing the Channel? If Rwanda is 'safe', why did UK Gov abuse the Parliamentary system to force their law through?

Chelsea's 5-0 defeat at Arsenal had two silver linings. It will help stop Liverpool winning the PL, plus it will surely accelerate the departure of the vastly overrated, Spurs-tainted and frankly dreadful Pochettino.

If you were desperate enough to leave your home, your country, even your continent to seek a new life for whatever reason and risk your life to cross the Channel, why would a trip to Rwanda put you off your mission?

Yes, some of the words used by the police were inappropriate, but it seems that Gideon Falter was indeed looking for trouble, and has been extremely rude about the anti-war marchers in London. A nasty little attention seeker trying to distract from the real issue: genocide.

Four sequential shots from a burst of the amazingly showy Alpine Swift at Kenfig Pool. Thanks to Neil Donaghy for the great find and promptly getting the news out.

I noticed Sunak, in the Commons yesterday, referred to the de facto leader of Saudi Arabia as MBS. As if he is his cheeky mucker rather than the despot who murdered Jamal Khashoggi etc.

When is the IDF going to be proscribed as a terrorist organisation?
