Massive constitutional crisis brewing over Netanyahu’s refusal to accept the election results and his use of the Shin Bet for political purposes.
Shin Bet Chief Zini (Netanyahu appointee) is demanding to question Arab party leaders in the foreign election funding case.
Attorney-General Baharav-Miara just put out a statement that citizens, especially elected MKs, can only be questioned if there’s supporting evidence and Zini has prevented the Shin Bet from passing any evidence to her or the police for two days now.
Eisenkot: “Likud and Netanyahu are trying to commit a pogrom of the democracy and the rule of law”

I think a lot of Premier League fans will disconnect from following football on a weekly basis if the sanctions aren’t in line with the seriousness of the charges. It’s a dangerous path. We cant be expected to watch a fraudulent league for decades

[Sheldon Miller @SheldonMiller]

If Man City don’t receive strong enough sanctions all other Premier League clubs should just pull rank and refuse to play them.

Unless it has been determined that this wasn’t what it initially looked like, I’m at a loss for words here.

The exact opposite of what Labour heavyweight, Denis Healey, said in 1969:

“Once we cut defence expenditure to the extent where our security is imperilled, we have no houses, we have no hospitals, we have no schools. We have a heap of cinders.”

[David Blagden @blagden_david]

The only sensible choice. Moscow understands that we must protect the Triple Lock through at least one more election cycle (and will surely honour it as the ballistic missiles fall on UK comms infrastructure etc).

So happy that the UK government uses the same alert system which tells you if you’re about to get nuked to ask you to please not have a bbq

Just in case you missed it - this is the Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff failing to confirm that the British Army could deploy 1000 troops to the continent of Europe.
