I don’t follow this argument. UK only supplied 1% of Israel’s arms imports. Yet suspending them would ‘strengthen Hamas’. Meanwhile the US, whose arms exports really are vital to Israel’s security, has judged it right to hold back some weapons. 1/ bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Halfway through Tim Shipman's third Brexit book. A fourth to come. They could all have been reduced to one sentence. 'The Brits did not have a fucking clue what they were doing.' All the rest is just padding.

The privatisation of Government announcements by putting them in the paywalled, party friendly press must stop.
