Yesterday David Lammy was unequivocal that Israel is breaking international law. Today No 10 contradicts that and says it is merely “at risk of breaching” the law. It is an extraordinary position to put the Foreign Secretary in - who will now have to say why he was wrong, or why No 10 is wrong.

‘US taxpayer has funded safety of Europe’: ex-Trump official www.channel4.com/news/us-taxp...

There isn’t published evidence that America has spent 350 billion. Official papers suggest around half of that, much of which was spent in America not Ukraine. Europe says it has spent more. Zelenskyy polls lower than he did two years ago but still high and higher than Trump in America.

Great time at Strictly tonight. Bizarre and amazing to think about everything that’s happened in my life in the last year!

I don’t know whether Nadine Dorries is right about the Tory Party being rotten, corrupt and controlled by shadowy figures - but somewhere in the conspiracy theory is a woman who got near the top, peered in and is revolted. She admits many regrets. Worth watching youtu.be/_P3LuSRsibY

‘Vast majority’ of farmers will not be affected by inheritance tax change, says Environment Secretary www.channel4.com/news/vast-ma...

Yes it is true that if you give your assets to your kids and live for seven years there’s no inheritance tax to pay…but you’d better get on well with your kids.

The DWP assessment on how many pensioners will be pushed into poverty as a result of the Winter Fuel Payment cuts will not make good reading for Labour MPs : assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/673caa...

Worth watching tonight to see what happened when Starmer raised human rights and political prisoners with the Chinese with the media still in the room. Was it a diplomatic boo-boo or a principled stance? I guess we will see… #c4news at 7

Remember, it turns out there was plenty of life after compuserve, aol and MySpace…

Trump appoints vaccine sceptic RFK Jr as health secretary

So the argument by this Trump supporter is that appointing somebody even he doesn’t agree with on various things might be good for a “reset”.

These are figures we can only admire

The decline of X has changed the way I use social media and think about how healthy it is. I’m here too now and will mainly use it to amplify @channel4news.bsky.social but happy to engage in the spirit of early twitter…if that isn’t too naive
