Israel-Hamas ceasefire live: Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel 'reserves right to return to war' if ceasefire's second stage is unsuccessful The first phase of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas is due to start at 08:30 local time (06:30 GMT) on Sunday.

Netanyahu says Israel reserves right to go back to war after "temporary ceasefire" of 6 weeks.

He means back to the ways of genocide

Dartmoor jail that pays Duchy Β£1.5m a year may never reopen Riddled with rats, HMP Dartmoor, which closed in August over toxic gas fears, has 24 years left on its lease

Why is our taxpayer's money going to the Royals in so many ways?

Empty Dartmoor prison pays Prince William’s Duchy Β£1.5m a year & has another 24 years left on its lease

Charities which the Royals are patrons of also pay millions to them in rent

In a long debate on Gaza in parliament yesterday, only two MPs mentioned genocide -- Jeremy Corbyn and Adnan Hussein.

David Lammy spoke of "our friends in the Israeli government".

New study: Gaza's death toll is much higher than the world has been told Far from being exaggerated, a new study underlines how Gaza's official death toll is a severe underestimate

You've been told over and over again that Gaza's official death toll is false.

That's absolutely right.

The death toll is in fact a drastic underestimate πŸ‘‡

Our tabloid press in the UK are so craven...

...that when a foreign billionaire in a foreign government attacks our national reputation - they make no effort at national defence or balance in reporting, but just eat up and regurgitate the red meat. The British tabloid press is anti-British.

The UK recently admitted that it had reviewed 413 potential violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) by Israel in Gaza - and found only two breaches.

Now, the Foreign Office won't say if Israel's airstrike on an aid convoy, killing three Britons, was even investigated as a breach of IHL.

β€˜They’re political prisoners’: Parents of Palestine activists slam pre-trial detention Young protesters face more than a year in prison before going on trial over a break-in at an Israeli arms factory near Bristol.

A pro-Palestine activist was interrogated for seven days without charge, often in the middle of the night.

Her cell was lit by a strip light and a guard would come hourly to the door, meaning she couldn't sleep.

"We have set out what action is required and people should just get on with it," she told the BBC.
She added: "I've certainly been very unhappy about the politicisation of child sexual exploitation and child sexual abuse in the way that many people, sometimes in a very uninformed way, have waded into the argument."
