Sakher has written for us at @bylinesnetwork.co.uk - it's so important to get the personal stories of those in Gaza, in their own voice, out there.

Can you imagine if Russia attacked and seized a UK vessel in international waters & kidnapped the people on board, including UK citizens, and the only response from the UK govt was to say that's "a matter for the Russian govt".

No, me neither.

The Left need to be attacking Privatisation in the same way that the Right attacked Nationalised industries.

Take back control from the thieves, force them out of business.

There should be no profit in Energy, Water, Housing, Healthcare or Public Transport.

British steel faces 'biggest crisis in its history as EU imposes 50%

The European Union has said it has no choice but to protect its own industry from a glut of cheap Asian steel diverted to the continent by President Trump's tariffs

If only someone had warned us that leaving the world’s biggest single market might make us vulnerable to, you know, markets.

But we wanted to “take back control.”

Congratulations - we’ve taken it all the way back to the 1970s.

Rachel Reeves clears planning blockage amid ‘good relationship’ with developer Exclusive: Chancellor says 20,000 homes were being held up due to ‘some snails that are a protected species or something’

We always knew that Labour cares about little else other than keeping private developers happy.

But here's proof showing off to JP Morgan despite destruction of some of the "rarest creatures in our country."

Let's make that description Labour votes.

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

I am really warming to Zack Polanski and more specifically to his ideas, honesty and apparent commitment to just doing the right thing which is rarely doing what the right want.

It’s a sign of how far to the right British politics have been driven that the extremist idea of leaving the ECHR is now mainstream. The correct response by a journalist when a British politician says they want to leave the ECHR ought to be an incredulous: "Are you out of your tiny mind?"

Voters are not listening New research uncovers the gap between what politicians say and what voters notice

"A new YouGov survey [shows] the public verdict on today’s NHS: local service, good 55 per cent, bad 38 per cent; national service, good 27 per cent, bad 63 per cent. Another example of ministers not getting their message across as well as they might hope."

Repeat after me. A habitable planet is more important than the profits of a few fossil fuel companies.

The Greens say they've got a plan to stop the boats.

Unfortunately, it's barking mad

Their proposal won't solve the problem. In fact, it shows they don't even understand what the problem actually is

Michael Deacon The Greens say they've got a plan to stop the boats. Unfortunately, it's barking mad Their proposal won't solve the problem. In fact, it shows they don't even understand what the problem actually is

Simple. It would allow the small boats' prospective passengers to enter Britain by "safe and legal routes” instead.

Mr Polanski seems to think that this is a brilliant scheme. I fear, however, that not all voters will share his enthusiasm. Because, in effect, he's pledging to stop people entering Britain illegally - by allowing them to enter Britain legally. He might as well say: "We're going to end shoplifting - by requiring shops to give away all their products free of charge."

Mr Polanski's plan, therefore, will not solve the problem. In fact, it suggests that he doesn't understand what the problem actually is.

Except, and I do fully understand that this is the Telegraph so facts might not matter too much, pretty much every reliable expert agrees that the only practical way to genuinely reduce small boat crossings is to provide safer and simpler alternatives. 1/

Utterly beholden to lobbyists, staggeringly ignorant and dismissive of the natural world: Rachel Reeves might not look or sound like Donald Trump, but she is behaving very much like him. This government is even more of an ecological hazard than the Tories were.

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.
