Tony Blair at the so called Board of Peace summit blaming conditions in Gaza on the Palestinians.
No mention of Israels decades long occupation, 20 year siege & regular attacks (mowing the lawn) that turned Gaza into an open air prison.

Why did the head of MI6, Sir John Sawers attend a dinner with Epstein, Maxwell, and Prince Andrew at Epstein's New York townhouse, after Epstein had been convicted of child sex abuse?
Why did Sawers go on to broker a deal between Palantir and UK govt, in 2019?

Hillsborough Law will 'criminalise lying' by senior ministers, say campaigners
It's via a new standalone offence - which will apply to the prime minister - of "misleading the public", punishable by up to two years in jail.
Weโve all had enough of politicians lying to us, right?
Reckon on that we can all agree
Which is why Iโm absolutely buzzing for this legislation that would criminalise lying in politics
โฆโpunishable by up to two years in jail!โ

Labour lost three council seats last night. 1 each to the Greens, Lib dems and Plaid. Reform were 2nd or 3rd in each.
The Greens also won and beat Reform in another local election.
So when they say vote Labour to stop Reform, they couldn't be more wrong. Vote almost anyone but Labour to beat Reform.

I wish it were true that "no one is above the law". But while the City of London acts as laundromat for the world's dirty money, as almost all fraud and waste crime go unprosecuted, as no one has gone to jail for the financial crash or the poisoning of our rivers, this is manifestly untrue.
