Call me picky if you will, but I'm going to say that the Israeli government's sustained attacks class as more than "testing the cease-fire"
BREAKING: At least 24 people are dead and 54 wounded after Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, testing the ceasefire that began in October, officials say.
Israel launches strikes in Gaza ceasefire's latest test as hospitals say 20 killed
Israel's military says it has launched new airstrikes against Hamas militants in Gaza, testing the ceasefire that began on October 10.

I made the call that the Boks would win this fairly comfortably. That was before Ireland decided to implode by throwing penalties at the feet of the double world champions and try every nerve of the referee making him reach for his card again and again. #IREvRSA 🏉

"Ceasefire that began in October" is not a load-bearing sentence.

The most charitable reading of @heraldscotland.bsky.social naming For Women Scotland's win in the Supreme Court as their "Campaign of the Year" is that the award is for campaigning success, not a judgement on any moral good done. Yet that flies in the face of every previous award in this category.

While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/
