I’ve got huge respect for Harry Maguire - he’s a man that just keeps on pushing on despite everything that’s thrown at him. And he’s got a sense of humour.

Almost 25 years ago today, Bill Clinton inaugurated the Gaza International Airport. It was a symbol of Palestinian autonomy & eventual statehood. Now it lies in ruins. Wonderful remembrance of optimism once felt there, by Greg Myre:

The IDF is publishing a significant amount of evidence to back up its claims about the way Hamas used al-Shifa hospital. The denials will doubtless continue, but honest people should take this seriously. To do so does not mean taking sides.

My son would like to thank everyone who bought my book about the fat,
Scottish policeman. After negotiating a share of royalties (his reasoning: it’s hard work being your son) he’s bought himself a computer game. He says folk should buy a copy for Christmas.
