The last time we heard about Nantucket Harbor
Looks like Vice President JD Vance will be spending the night in the Monomoy area on Nantucket Harbor. This message was just emailed to everyone with moorings in that area from the Nantucket Harbormaster:
This is a Tory MP. And he mentions genocide.
Extraordinary scenes in the Commons tonight as Tory MP @kitmalthouse correctly accuses UK foreign secretary David Lammy of complicity in Israel’s crimes and warns him that he could end up in The Hague
