Shambolic briefing in which No 10 volunteered that there are seats on buses heading for the Jordanian border, but told Brits to follow local advice and stay put

UK evacuates families of embassy staff from Israel, says Foreign Office. Meanwhile the consulate emailed Brits in Israel about a ‘charter flight’ to get out but with advice saying the airspace was closed. A correction followed. Is anything being done to help Brits David Lammy?

This poll isn’t about supporting escalation; it’s about whether the UK should help an ally - the world’s only Jewish state and the only democracy in the Middle East - intercept Iranian ballistic missiles aimed at civilians. Brits say no, by 2 to 1. Utterly grim.

Earlier this week, I was a little too close to the action. Read my report from the site of the blast and understand how the Iranian regime is targeting civilians, and why there haven't been more deaths in Israel from these fatal ballistic missiles. thejc.com/opinion/i-was-…

Nothing says peace and love like the flag of the Islamic Republic of Iran flying next to a vegan food truck as thousands gather to cheer Kneecap, whose member has been charged with a terror offence. Just another afternoon at Glastonbury!

Kneecap end Glastonbury set with umpteenth ‘Fuck Keir Starmer’ chant

This is Bob Dylan at his son's bar mitzvah in 1983 at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Who'd believe that today a rapper called Bob Vylan struts on a Glastonbury stage shouting 'Death to the IDF' & shouting about 'f***ing Zionists'.

Olivia Rodrigo says she loves England! And Colin the Caterpillar!

As people in Glastonbury and New York chant for the ‘death of the IDF,’ a small group of peace activists in Gaza is showing them what real courage looks like. They stood in silence, holding photos of Israeli children murdered by Hamas on October 7 and after. One of them, Ramez,

Happy London Pride 🙃 🌈

A queer Israeli writes a musical about feeling exluded from LGBTQ+ spaces after October 7. Queer venue books it. Internet yells. Venue cancels. Art imitates life, life shuts it down. Another tale for our times ⬇️ thejc.com/news/uk/west-e…
