Survivors and the families of victims of the Nova music festival massacre hope a new exhibition will confront some of the denial they say they've encountered since the attack.

Warning: This report from Sky's Katie Spencer contains distressing content.

Having seen this show multiple times, MPs will be asking themselves “can I get a better job?” And “will the new leader swing the way my heart desires?” Labour MPs will do themselves and the country a favour if they use their heads and ask every leadership contender these questions:

1) What is your plan? Not the vibes or the direction of travel. The actual policies they will prioritise

2) How will you communicate this plan to the voters? (MPs ask yourself if the candidate is a good communicator because without that they are lost)

3) Who is your team to enact this plan both a) in the key cabinet posts and b) in Downing Street. At a bare minimum they should have identified a chief of staff and a director of communications

4) How will your plan persuade the markets not to blow up the government on the launching pad?

If you don’t get proper answers to all these questions move on. Unless they have good answers to all these questions you will be installing another dud

Reposting this remarkable fact as we appear to have reached the pistol and whiskey stage of PM Starmer’s term in office.

[James Sorene @Jsorene]

It’s almost 25 years since a U.K. Prime Minister won a majority in a general election and served a full term in office. That was Tony Blair in June 2001. No Prime Minister has managed it since. Quite staggering. /1

[James Sorene @Jsorene]

Most important immediate impact of Labour leadership crisis is Government paralysis. New leader by September means almost four months of internal party shenanigans and very little governing or tackling UK’s problems. We can pretend otherwise but the reality is very different.

[James Sorene @Jsorene]

@charlotteahenry Nah

[James Sorene @Jsorene]

@charlotteahenry The wider shenanigans aside, without the foul on Raya he just catches that ball. And none of that wider wrestling match would meet the threshold of awarding a penalty. End of story.

@MattChorley Thanks for the memories

[James Sorene @Jsorene]

@DPJHodges Because the ‘if in doubt pick someone from the Blair/Brown era’ strategy has worked a treat so far.

[James Sorene @Jsorene]

@simonmontefiore Interesting decision to start at 1900 - what was the reasoning behind that?

[James Sorene @Jsorene]

We are heading for another coalition government after the 2029 election. Whether it’s Reform-Conservative or Labour-Green, who knows.

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

In a very British way what you are seeing is a cross-country, cross-ideology rebellion against a status quo that too many people think doesn’t work for them. The biggest casualty? The traditional two party system, and it’s hard to see it being possible to put it back together.

[James Sorene @Jsorene]

@kateferguson4 This is literally nonsense. Every flight changes pilot and switches to auto pilot. On long haul flights there are usually three pilots. LOL

[James Sorene @Jsorene]

Loving David Lammy analogy on keeping Starmer as PM because you don’t change pilots mid flight. Because it’s nonsense. That is literally what happens on every flight. As well as the switch to auto pilot, on long haul flights there can be as many as three pilots. LOL.

[James Sorene @Jsorene]

Fascinating 72 hours ahead. Scale of Labour election disaster unfolds, Starmer fights for his political life. Expect talk of a reset, major speech and cabinet reshuffle. But with the PM too weak to force any major changes, he’ll end up with changes forced on him. Tragic stuff.

@nicolelampert @Angie_RejoinEU They also chant Zionists go home and Zionism shut it down. On one of the marches last year I stood in the centre of Westminster bridge and watched the entire march go past. Every single person. There was one sign that said peace. This was after the Gaza ceasefire deal

This by @daverich1 is required reading today - every word.

If the answer cannot be found to repeated, violent attacks on Jews, than modern Britain has failed. I don’t mean it would have failed its Jews: I mean that Britain will have failed itself.

What is to be done? Here are some suggestions
