Aren’t you the bloke who was sentenced to 15 months in prison for falsely imprisoning a male escort, handcuffing him to a wall and beating him with a metal chain?

Makes complete sense.

[Andy Burnham @andyburnham]

In a difficult and dangerous world, a decade on from Brexit, there is a risk that Britain loses the confidence to lead and stand up for its values.

I’m not prepared to let that happen. It is more important than ever that Britain stands for something.

We have called for years for a two-state solution in the Middle East, but we must recognise that those words are meaningless unless we back them up with action.

For too long, we have been hesitant to act, fearful of being accused of being anti-Israel.

Today we are announcing carefully judged, targeted steps that are not aimed at the Israeli people, but at the unacceptable policies of the current Israeli government.

The suffering of the Palestinian people is a scar on the conscience of the world. Innocent Palestinians, including children, continue to be killed in Gaza. And there is still a humanitarian crisis, with far too little aid getting in.

The scale of destruction is hard to comprehend. More than 70,000 people lie dead - at least 20,000 of them children. Families and communities have been torn apart. Millions displaced. And the population of Gaza is now penned into just one third of the territory.

I know that people across the UK feel very deeply about this issue - and so do I.

Before I became Prime Minister, I said our country’s response had been too slow and simply not good enough. That’s why I committed to changing the government’s approach.

I will not stand by as the horrific suffering continues to grow and the prospect of a two-state solution - the best hope for peace and stability in the region - comes under attack.

More settlements have been approved under the four years of this Israeli government than in the previous 20 years. The UN has reported more than 1,500 incidents of settler violence so far this year, aimed at driving out Palestinians. And the situation is growing worse, fast.

The Israeli government has now approved 104 new settlements since it took office in December 2022, and ahead of the October elections in Israel, it is allowing tenders for the construction of the E1 mega settlement to go ahead. This would cut a swathe through the heart of the West Bank - snuffing out the hope of realising a two-state solution. It cannot be allowed to happen.

That’s why we are announcing a new package of tough measures to put pressure on the Israeli government:

First, we will ban the trade in goods with illegal settlements in Palestine.

Second, we have formally changed the view of the British government to say for the first time that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful - independent of, but in line with, the conclusion of the international court of justice.

And third, we will sanction individuals and companies that support, facilitate or profit from illegal settlements. That includes any businesses or investors that take part in the construction of the E1 settlement.

In addition, we are announcing a new package of desperately needed humanitarian aid to Gaza.

We are taking these steps because it is the right thing to do.

I have condemned the monstrous terrorist attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 in the strongest possible terms - and continue to condemn Hamas. However, it does not justify the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza or the West Bank.

The measures we are taking are about targeting illegal settlements and increasing the pressure on the Israeli government to change course. We are not imposing sanctions on Israel as a whole, which would punish the Israeli people, many of whom disagree with their government’s position.

The Israeli people are not responsible for the actions of their government. And nor is the Jewish community in the UK. Blaming British Jews for the actions of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is wrong, plain and simple. And it is antisemitism, plain and simple.

I met the representatives of the Jewish community just last week. I know the fear they live with day by day. My government will stop at nothing to ensure they are safe and to stamp out antisemitism in every part of our society.

The measures we are announcing today are about protecting the only solution that could see the Israeli and Palestinian people living side by side in peace and security - something that people up and down the UK desperately want to see.

The government I lead will keep working with our partners around the world to keep that hope alive.

I watched weekend after weekend for two years at the Palestine demonstrations people being told to remove masks and being arrested if they didn’t. Last weekend at carnival I saw police forcing people to remove decorative flag bandanas or face arrest.

I’m not religious but I do think it’s normal for Keith Lee to realize he and his families life were spared and feel a “God is good” sentiment. But once he heard someone else died, he should’ve kept that sentiment off the internet.

Apparently her husband told the police she did it, and told her she did it which is what she confessed to. But the medical professionals who saw her immediately after the crime said it would’ve been impossible for her to have told him that (or even speak) amongst other things

Now it’s happened in the UK and we’re relying on foreign media orgs to report it?

Daily Mail just admitted it invented an entire Harry & Meghan “secret lunch” with Geri & Christian Horner. The visit that never happened, “summit” that never happened, friendship that never happened, advice that never happened.

Vivek Chaudhary wrote it as fact.

Readers ate it.

Then a tiny correction after the damage was done.

This is the state of British journalism. Pure unadulterated invention of news!

It’s fanfic with a byline and a circulation department.

UK tabloids treat fiction as news and the audience treats it as gospel.

Shameful, cheap, and they will do it again next week.

My daddy was explaining to me the other day that we wouldn't have the concept of time without women, and how we should honour menstruation because that was the only thing telling us alongside the moon what a month was. I love speaking with my elders man.
