The Israeli government has adopted the double-strike tactic used by Bashar al-Assad in Syria: target a hospital or heavily populated area, then hit it again when rescue workers, reporters and medics turn up, to kill or maim them too. Hideous war crimes piled one upon another.

Excellent. I refuse to imbibe Hawkstone products to teach Clarkson a lesson. It's not working very well.

FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than Β£2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations.

Reform are NOT for ordinary people.

They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.

I'd like an apology from @marycreagh.bsky.social please. She claimed my column on the Planning and Infrastructure Bill was "deeply misleading". She failed to explain why. But it was an accurate explanation of the problems with the Bill.
Ministers should not make unsubstantiated and untrue claims.

Chiltern Railways. 9.11 from Oxford Parkway to Marylebone. Standing passengers filling the aisles of 2 carriages, when we are towing behind us THREE completely empty carriages. Mad and dangerous. #chilternrailways.

Vance’s posturing in Greenland was not just morally wrong. It was strategically disastrous | Timothy Snyder Thanks to Trump’s administration, the US could soon have to fight wars to get things that, just a few weeks ago, were there for the asking, says professor Timothy Snyder of Yale University
