Starmer is to attend an EU summit and Brexiters are having a proper tantrum about it. As if they negotiated something good. As if our industries hadn’t been desperately lobbying govt ever since. As if the EU wasn’t an ally. Brexiters are monstrous toddlers - a total drag on diplomacy and progress.

All the evidence points to an unfolding genocide in Gaza. The UN has now said that out of the 91 attempts its made to deliver aid to besieged north Gaza in recent weeks, 82 have been denied & 9 impeded. “The conditions for survival are diminishing for the 65,000-75,000 people estimated there.”
UNRWA graphic: From 6 Oct to 25 Nov, the UN have attempted 91 times to reach those areas to deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance.  82 of these attempts were outright denied while nine were impeded.UNRWA graphic which says Between 65K and 75K people are estimated to remain in the besieged north Gaza.

A conspiracy theorist is about to lead a Department of Health whose staff he wants to fire, whose science he denies, whose vaccine programmes he’s opposed to & whose life-saving medical advances he puts in jeopardy. I’m not sure this is a sufficient level of scrutiny from the BBC.
Screenshot of BBC News online story with the headline Can RFK Jr make America’s diet health again? Below the headline is a picture of RFK in a light blue suit and tie with a caption that reads: RFK Jr has pledged to tackle ultra-processed foods, food dyes and additives.
