If this is even vaguely true, it is absolutely bonkers. What the hell with? A frigate and a detachment of Gurkhas?

Huge, huge mistake by #Starmer appointing former editor of The Sun and Chief Operating Officer of News UK for Govt. Communications role. Wrong on every level. @UKLabour theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
"Water chiefs’ pay rises to average of £1.1m despite ban on bonuses and outrage over pollution." So how's that ban on bonuses thing working out then? Yet another shallow policy doomed to fail. theguardian.com/business/2025/…

Utterly ridiculous for Israel to say food can be parachuted into #Gaza. It will cause riots, will go to fittest, Israel controls air traffic & would only be tiny amounts. Israel needs to open ALL boarders & let aid flood in via UN news.sky.com/story/israel-a…
