Israel marks 7 October attacks anniversary as Starmer tells students to avoid 'un-British' protests - live updates Meanwhile indirect talks between Israel and Hamas aimed at securing a deal to end the war in Gaza are continuing in Egypt.

Surely it's possible to hold ALL the following opinions?

I do..

The October 7 Hamas attack was evil terrorism
AND
The Israeli response has been unforgivable

Antisemitism is a stain on humanity
AND
Criticism of the State of Israel is not, by itself, antisemitic

It was bloody hard to decide! (And the only reason there's no Dylan there is that I couldn't get my choice down to less than about a dozen songs😂).

Hope all's well with you xx

Ouch! Never seen him live, unfortunately...

In the tributes to Jilly Cooper, I heard mention of her 'Desert Island Discs' selections.
So, just for a bit of fun, I decided to finalise mine...

Jenrick-led Tory party could merge with Reform UK post-election, top Farage aide says Gawain Towler also hinted Reform will have an open-door policy to Tory defectors

See what I mean!!

Top Farage aide hints Conservatives could merge with Reform UK post-election if Jenrick becomes Tory leader | The Independent share.google/CDYvZJoWLquw...

Fearing Farage, Britain’s Conservatives go full Trump Under-pressure leader Kemi Badenoch wants a migrant removal force inspired by ICE — but that kind of branding is a political risk given the British largely dislike Donald Trump and his approach.

All this ridiculous woman cares about is preserving the wreckage of her party - and preferably, her leadership of it.

The only way to fight Farage is from the left and centre.

The Tories are simply trying to emulate Reform UK Ltd, and maintain their supply of donors.

Trump complained Netanyahu was ‘so negative’ after Hamas partially accepts peace deal U.S. president continues making threats to Hamas while privately chiding Netanyahu, reports say

Jeez. I knew #Trump was as dense as a black hole...

But what part of "Netanyahu is a genocidal maniac who will never accept Palestinians' right to exist" doesn't he understand?

Or is 'Bibi' just getting in the way of Donald's personal ambition for a Nobel Prize? 🤮

‘Nine-jobs Nigel’: Farage denies not declaring extra earn... Roles outside Parliament make Reform leader the highest-earning MP, but register of interests has not been updated since end of May

Oh, what a shame. Our Nigel's fans believe he's an honest man-of-the-people type.
And all because he carelessly omitted to mention little things like being a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion, or raking in a million quid whilst an MP.
Silly, forgetful old sausage...

Mapped: The areas threatened by Reform’s controversial pro-fracking agenda revealed New analysis identifies parliamentary areas that could be vulnerable to development for fracking if Nigel Farage’s party were to get into government

Do you live in northern England? Or the north Midlands? (Not to mention central Scotland, or the Tory south).

If you do, and this pack of lunatics is elected, immigrants will be the last of your worries.

*They* won't destabilise the very ground your house stands on...

UK will leave ECHR if Tories win election, Badenoch says The European Convention on Human Rights has become a focal point in debates around changing immigration policy.

Right! I'm back, fighting fit and whingeing!

If I were a Tory (which feels like saying if I were a 3 legged Martian) I'd be disappointed in Ms Badenoch.

Trying to out-reform Reform. Whilst still being inconsistent, indecisive and vacillating.

It's not a good look...
