The suggestion that Sir Jeffrey Donaldson was allowed to operate at the most senior levels of the political establishment for 3 decades while the authorities knew all about his sexual perversions can only mean one thing: he was a state-handled asset. He was Enoch Powell's protégé (a former Military Intelligence officer), he was a knight of the realm and a member of the Privy Council. These were rewards for his being a safe pair of hands, regardless of his tendency towards sexual abuse. When his job was done, he was exited. But the authorities - in fact everyone in politics and media in Northern Ireland - did precisely nothing. They obeyed the numerous super injunctions. Only now do they squeal.

Out in Southall, West London today, locals were handing out ice-cold Rooh Afza (the iconic pink milk drink) free to anyone needing a drink in the sweltering heat.
Small acts of kindness like this say a lot about a community.

Former footballer Henrik Larsson has revealed in an interview with The Guardian that he never truly felt he belonged in Sweden.
Larsson, whose father is from Cape Verde and whose mother is Swedish, said he was one of the few Black children at his school, where he was frequently subjected to racist abuse and often had to fight to defend himself.
Despite making 106 appearances for the Swedish national team, Larsson said: “I see myself as a foreigner. To be honest, I don't know what I am. I know I've played 106 games for Sweden, but I've never felt 100% Swedish.”
Larsson added: “It was only after I became successful in football that I started to feel Swedish. When you're nobody, you don't matter. Once you become somebody, you become part of society. That's when people forget where you come from and the colour of your skin.”
The Spectator just told its readers the evidence that Israel deliberately targeted children in Gaza "simply isn't there," and that the UN's 94-page report is "a doctor's guess."
Here is what is actually in the report, Jonathan Sacerdoti says is empty:
• Two independent forensic pathologists. CT scans. Forensic analysis in 15 of 17 cases.
• An audio ballistic analysis that identified the exact weapon and the firing distance.
• A 10-day-old baby was shot in the head while breastfeeding in his mother's tent in Nuseirat. Named. Dated. The bullet was analysed.
He calls this "unverified" with "nothing connecting the dots." The report cross-references every source and authenticates it with geolocation, metadata and forensic imaging.
This is not an opinion you're free to disagree with. These are false statements of fact about a public document. Under IPSO's Editors' Code, Clause 1 (Accuracy) applies to comment pieces too.

BREAKING: Art focused on Israel’s genocide in Palestine is set to be shown in Scotland after its exhibition south of the Border was cancelled
The exhibition had been due to be shown in London in May but it was cancelled after an intervention from UK Lawyers for Israel
This is more than merch. It’s memory.
24 years ago Israel took Marwan Barghouti, an elected parliamentarian at the time, from his family and hoped the world would forget him.
Yet despite decades behind bars, he remains Palestine’s most popular leader. Like Nelson Mandela, his struggle for freedom is the struggle of an entire nation.
Free Marwan now.
@freemarwannow
So morally and institutionally unfit for purpose is @BBCNews that not only will they not allow the word “genocide” in relation to Gaza, they will not even allow a debate about why the overwhelming consensus of genocide experts agree it is the correct description
BBC has made itself complicit in GENOCIDE
