[Saturday Mornings @SatMornings]

We loved Trev and Simon's shop based sketches - Ted and Eddie Kennedy, Dougie and Don Draper, Richard and Roger Roberts, and Jim and Tom Jones.

Jim and Tom Jones? Yes, Jim and Tom Jones the Chemists.

Here's the sketch from the duo's one-off Summer Special programme in 1995.

@douglas_joy So was she lying when she said she was a member in the May 2025 register of members interests?

[Danny Antrobus @dantrobus]

@KevinASchofield So why is she still listed as a member on the May 2025 register of members interests?

Diane Abbott makes the point that Keir Starmer knew about Louise Haighs conviction when he appointed her to his cabinet, so why is he throwing her under the bus now? #bbclaurak

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Louise Haigh was one of the only Labour ministers doing something worthwhile.

Who knows why her spent conviction suddenly re emerged, but needless to say Starmer allies will be delighted she’s gone.

Haigh already faced being purged for rightly slamming P&O Ferries.

On the story of Labour urging inquiry on Lee Andersonms claim he was offered cash to join Reform, perhaps there shluld be inquiry too on Labour MPs being offered peerages to give up their seats so Labour leadership can bring in new blood.

[Joe Skeaping @JSkeaping]

I guess "Jewish woman delivers antisemitism training" was a less eye-catching headline

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is Israel's finance minister advocating to "thin out" Gaza's population to halve it within two years.

Israel's leaders could not have been clearer about their intent, all the way through this horror.

That our media refused to frame their coverage accordingly is a scandal.

Palestinians held: 3,443
Jewish settlers held: 8

Now, ONLY Palestinians will be subject to detention without trial, in their own land, as illegal settlers terrorize them and steal their land. What’s it called when one group is subject to rules to ensure the dominance of another?

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

This was instantaneously my deepest fear as the news of the ICC arrest warrants came in. It is noticeable that as of January, at every move at the int'l justice level, there has been an immediate intensification of lethal violence against the Palestinians in Gaza. This also needs to be thorrougly investigated, Prosecutor @KarimKhanQC.

[Channel 4 News @Channel4News]

"That's an outrageous lie by Israel."

The ICC arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu is "not anti-Semitic", says leading human rights lawyer and former UN war crimes judge Geoffrey Robertson KC.

I'd love to See Justice done here, & No one's more deserving of Comeuppance than Streeting.
However, Be prepared for a Fight, because everyone from the Electoral commission, the Labour Party, & UK Media will be doing what they can to bury & trivialise a mere complaint.
