I had told you the police were wrong in this case.

I said it did NOT PROVE that the government had banned legitimate protest about Gaza, as many claimed.

It was the police over stepping. And now they have had to apologise and pay damages.

Legal protest IS allowed. Supporting banned groups is not.

Force agrees to pay damages to Laura Murton, 43, who also had sign saying ‘Israel is committing genocide’

Let's make sure everyone knows about the activities that senior Reform members have gotten up to.

These are not people we can trust to run out country.

Make sure people never forget!

"Why is the UK increasing defence spending?"

The Ministry of Defence has put out a short video explaining in detail why defence budgets are increasing, placing it in a global and historic context.

It's a 3min long but it's a good, clear and thorough explanation.

One of the LBC presenters said on the subject of witch hunts something like he wasn’t sure if the women ‘were actually witches or not’ but asked ‘should they be pardoned’ . I just thought it was all framed in a very odd way. These were women persecuted because they didn’t follow society’s norms. 🤷🏼‍♀️

44 years ago today, the NHS, and particularly St.Barts, A and E and Henry Ward, plus a fabulous ambulance crew, saved my life, it's amazing how we take it for granted and always run it down, when it's such a fabulous thing. Thanks to everyone saving someone's life today #OurNHS

I do think security will be very high in Egypt. The Egyptians definitely will not want anything that could reflect very badly on them to occur.

Hamas must have no further part to play in the future of Gaza. The Palastine Authority and other Arab and Muslim countries now have to work together in tandem. It's not JUST for the West to solve.
