The Law of the Sea is sacrosanct. There can be no compromise over Hormuz or Bab el-Mandeb. This is a sound basis on which to build an international coalition to face down #Iran and the #Houthis.

This is where the rubber hits the road. It was inevitable once the US sanctioned the Egyptian MB, which has so many associates in London. Andy Burnham will now have to decide how to respond to US requests for information and action. I hope this pushes UK towards MB proscription.

85 empty seats. This Sunday, millions of fans will gather to cheer for their national teams in the FIFA World Cup Final. But 85 voices from Argentina will be missing. They belong to the victims of the 1994 AMIA terrorist bombing in Buenos Aires, an attack planned by the Iranian regime and carried out by Hezbollah. Behind every terrorist attack are lives stolen and futures cut short. We remember. We stand against terror. Always.
