BREAKING: Downing St shut out Civil Service from Lord Mandelson’s vetting process - allowing the Labour peer’s close friend Morgan McSweeney, Labour’s Chief of Staff, to approve him as US Ambassador - despite his ongoing Epstein friendship (⁦@Telegraph) telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

Wes Streeting having the chutzpah to tell the story about the NHS. He doesn't tell the bit about how much he's accepted from private healthcare and the risk our NHS is at under this Labour Government. And most of all, lots of questions about his meetings with Palantir. #BBCQT

British MPs raise concerns over Israel’s new UK ambassador amid allegations he obstructed a probe into classified leaks during the Gaza war, as reports surface recommending a six-month suspension for Netanyahu’s chief of staff middleeasteye.pulse.ly/1bugrep4in

“Israel is writing one of the darkest pages in the history of genocides, with ‘Made in the West’ ink.” —UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese

RETIRED JUDGE DESTROYS DAVID LAMMY'S PLAN TO AXE JURY TRIALS! "NO HUGE SAVINGS!" Senior ex-Woolwich Crown Court judge Christopher Kinch KC has savaged Justice Secretary David Lammy's Courts Bill that would scrap juries for thousands of cases (up to 3 years in prison), letting one judge decide alone. He warned there will be "no huge savings" to justify the upheaval, risks more wrongful convictions and puts judges "in the firing line" for threats to them and their families. Kinch said people trust "12 strangers" on a jury far more than one judge, calling it the "essence of democratic involvement". This directly contradicts Lammy's own 2017 review praising juries as vital for fairness. Labour's 800-year attack on British justice in tatters!

Marina is absolutely spot on. If Nick Timothy said that Jewish people gathering in Trafalgar Square was a domination. He would've been sacked.

In 1796 Italy was not one country but a collection of kingdoms, republics, and smaller states

Wow

@incolerainehelp @MichaelLCrick Can you read? W⚓️

@MichaelLCrick The last paper I'll ever read...

If you're thinking of travelling to the USA, read this article first: theguardian.com/us-news/2026/f…

This seems horribly overdue in Australia

In the week 'The Voice of Hind Rajab' film was up for an Oscar, Hind’s name has become a symbol of strength for Gaza’s children. Investigators found 355 bullet holes in the car where she hid. I asked the Foreign Sec if the actions of the IDF can be called anything but barbaric.

I’m on my way to Cuba for an emergency 3-day visit. I’ll be delivering medical aid to a children’s cancer hospital and joining an international delegation of MPs opposed to Trump’s new ban on any fuel entering the country. This cruel policy is putting lives at risk. It is an inhumane attempt to strangle the Cuban people. And Trump is even threatening that Cuba could be “next” after Iran. We must take a stand.

Judges are largely finding that criticism of Israel/Zionism is 1st amendment protected speech, not antisemitic. Ditto for slogans like “From the river to the sea” Major blows to pro-Israel lawfare operation theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

Breaking: Norway says Israel must be isolated globally to punish it for its aggression.

Breaking: Italy says it will boycott all diplomatic relations with Israel over its hegemonic designs in Middle East

Trump is still fuming over U.S. allies' lack of support in the Iran war. That tension will likely be on display when Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi visits the White House, though our @DashaBurns notes the two have built a close relationship. 🎧 #PlaybookPod: politi.co/3NPDegd

Exclusive: Britain's civil service ethics chief twice offered to officially question Lord Mandelson over his links to Jeffrey Epstein but was rebuffed by No10. Darren Tierney approached senior No10 staff in late 2024 and offered to conduct formal interviews before the decision.
