Israeli people who don't want Gaza flattened should be treasured whatever their reason tbh. As an aside, there's multiple reasons why destroying Gaza is a terrible idea from an Israeli perspective. It creates martyrs, spoils relationships with other Muslim states, liable for trips to the Hague etc

Israel and its supporters seem to want everyone to believe the Israel Palestine conflict started last Saturday.

Looking forward to Braverman's reaction if Israelis attempts to claim asylum in the UK

An excellent point.

It's fascinating that people seem to forget that being on the left and within the SNP is a comparatively recent phenomenon. The socioeconomic position of the SNP has always been up for grabs.

Looking forward to these people throwing their hands up in disgust when Russia flies drones at Ukrainian power stations in a couple of months.

They must have known the reaction would have been what it has been. In any case the Israeli reaction to the terrorist attacks will probably ensure the continuation of Hamas's influence, one way or another, for decades to come.

The sort of people who are turning a blind eye to it is utterly shocking.

Square sausage

I just can't get my head round Zelenskyy's reaction to this. I mean, I understand why he's done it but still.... the brass neck

Israel's retaliation is perhaps the whole point of Hamas' attacks.

Joel Glazer's performance in goal has been abysmal.

That's true. But the seat had a not insubstantial number of Tory votes in the last election and their vote has almost disappeared.

Lack of self awareness here

I'd say the turnout isn't bad for a by election.

FIFA expected European broadcasters to pay more money for matches at 3am. They didn't want to pay the money for matches hardly anyone was going to watch because of the kick off times.

Can't see a men's world cup happening without matches in the evening in Europe. They had enough bother getting European TV companies to show the women's world cup in Australia.

A simple alternative would be to put the home nations in their own qualifying group. A battle of Britain/ Ireland

I'd be amazed if that was actually true. Italy and USA probably only two countries in the world that had live and free coverage of it at the weekend.

Yes, Brown did this when he raised the income tax threshold to 45% in 2009. Then there was an outcry quite recently when the Tories tried to reduce it. Suspect much of what Sunak is doing at the moment is similar, particularly around green policies that a Labour government would like to reinstate but are less popular amongst the electorate.

Whatever you do, don't look up the parties Tasmina Ahmed Sheikh has been a member of. I suspect there are people who just want power, whatever that means. And political parties are a vehicle to achieve that.

Given its success against both cheeks this year, Killie's plastic pitch must be in with a shot of becoming Rangers manager.

FTFY

No that's shredded wheat
