I have repeatedly said we reject the targeting of civilians from all sides. I also reject the one-sided bias of western mainstream media that seeks to frame and blame the victims of 75 years of ethnic cleansing and military rule. If you want condemnation, start with the occupier. Start with the coloniser. Start with the oppressor. Israel has imposed a system of apartheid rule. Condemn that. Condemn a 75 year long oppression, killings, theft of land, racism and displacement of the Palestinian people. Condemn that!

Palestinians do not just die. Israel bombed the home of my friend Chevening alumnus Maisara Al Rayyes, killing him and his family. This statement from @CheveningFCDO is unacceptable. Palestinians are killed. And not just in last month but over 75 years of oppression, ethnic cleansing, occupation and murder. Enough of playing with words to avoid holding the perpetrators of mass murder and crimes against humanity to account.

@JasonForCroydon You may need to go back to the Conservative council running the show for a decade from 2004 then.

Cyclists running red lights at pedestrian crossings when people at crossing the road: Why?

[Mike @harrisonmike]

Wtf! I mean I appreciate that there will be mourning going on, but surely we can respect a monarch who has just died as well as dealing with perhaps the most significant crisis of our time!

Want to explain your reasoning behind this decision, @KwasiKwarteng ? If it's that you already know you're out of your depth and don't want to be shown up by someone with real experience, we might understand #torysout #toryscum

[Ben Riley-Smith @benrileysmith]

NEW: The most senior civil servant in the Treasury, Sir Tom Scholar, has been sacked. Kwasi Kwarteng dismissed him on Tuesday. He's already gone.

Sa Majesté la Reine Elizabeth II a incarné la continuité et l’unité de la nation britannique plus de 70 ans durant. Je garde le souvenir d’une amie de la France, une reine de cœur qui a marqué à jamais son pays et son siècle.

Hey @guardian, please could you amend this article to add details of Sunak's credentials to comment on this. Either his scientific or medical qualifications will do.

Oh, that's right, he doesn't have any.
