“Mr X” — a former bodyguard of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas — was granted citizenship in the UK

Then, he plotted a terror attack targeting Jews in Berlin on the anniversary of Oct 7

The plot was foiled — and he now faces extradition to Germany

Exc with @GWJournalism: Angela Rayner has skipped nearly a third of major votes in parliament since resigning from the government, it has emerged.

The former deputy prime minister did not vote 57 times in 185 divisions, after stepping down as housing secretary last September.

She was absent from the Commons on at least 13 different dates, covering bills on bus services, local government finance, schools and border security.

The Times analysed details of all divisions that have taken place since, counting only those where 150 Labour MPs or more voted to exclude votes where backbenchers were given permission to abstain by party whips.

Of the remaining 185 votes, Rayner did not vote in 57 divisions: 30 per cent. She voted “aye” 58 times and “no” 70 times.

March 2026 marked Rayner’s highest number of missed votes in her career as a backbench MP, stretching back to 2015. She has the 56th highest absence rate of Labour backbenchers in major votes.

A spokesperson for Rayner said: “These absences were authorised in advance by the Labour Whips’ Office in the proper way. Angela has been slipped and paired on a number of occasions due to her other diary commitments as an MP, which is a normal arrangement right across the Commons.”

It is understood that none of the absences were for Rayner to be able to attend paid speaking engagements.

However, her extra work outside parliament has been privately criticised by some Labour colleagues, who think it is at odds with the stance she took in opposition over Tory MPs’ second jobs.

I suspect SEND (special needs education funding) will be the next big scandal.

The budget is out of control (see below). And today, a Times investigation shows the money is being diverted from kids who need it...
