Haaretz reveals Israel to postpone the E1 bidding deadline. Would not have happened but for Ed Miliband's principled, astutely managed ban on trade with the settlements. Embarassing for those who dismissed Miliband's decision as performative:

Bridget Phillipson: "You'll forgive me if I do take with a pinch of salt what someone who is a tax exile has to say about our country"

Ed Miliband is the first British foreign secretary to stand up against US power and resist Israeli pressure at the same time. In our column for Middle Eye Imran Mulla and I argue that he deserves our admiration and support:

How many other famous footballers have used their position to speak out?

Not many, Gary Lineker a true footballing legend.

A British surgeon saw the unspeakable horror of Israel's genocide.

His message?

The British state is complicit.

Brian Eno is one of more than 100 millionaires asking Andy Burnham to tax them more.

A 2% tax on people worth over £10m could raise £24bn a year for Britain - and this is an idea that 80% of UK-based millionaires support, according to Patriotic Millionaires UK.

“We can see how disaffected people are by the way politics is going. We can see why people are looking for desperate solutions and why they’re being driven to extremes,” musician and songwriter Eno told Sky News.

"It's because they realise the cards are stacked against them and in favour of the rich. So some of the rich are saying, the cards don’t have to be stacked that way. We want to pay more tax. We want things to be more equal."

Peter Walker channelling Mrs Merton in his question to Kemi Badenoch: "Can you explain what it is about leading a party where the average voter age for you is 62 & rising every year, that makes a triple lock such an appealing prospect"

Israel is annexing the West Bank, destroying Palestinian communities & violently detaining anyone who seeks to resist. This month Israeli forces detained & imprisoned Dr Mazen Rantisi, known as the “ doctor of the poor.” I raised in Parliament his case to demand his release.

Note to all the pearl-clutching Tories out in force today…

You don’t HAVE to send your kids to private school. We have universal education provision in this country.

If you *choose* to do so, the rest of us shouldn’t pay for you to have a tax break for the privilege.

@BriefcaseMike We kept the temp to 26 max today, by keeping all the windows, blinds and doors shut all day. Bit depressing, but better than the 32 ' outside..

"This government is treating Palestine Action as equivalent to Islamic State or Al Qaeda, which is intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled and morally wrong. Frankly I'm deeply ashamed"

FIFA decided to take no action against Israel.

President said "FIFA cannot resolve geopolitical issues."

FIFA has and still bans Russia.

FIFA is a disgrace, Israel need to be banned.

This World Cup, everyone with Norway 🇳🇴

The joy Norway experienced at the end of the match after defeating Israel 5-0:

Norway donated all the match's proceeds to Palestine.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

There's a Genocide happening in Gaza.

Our Government is arresting pensioners for holding cardboard signs that say "I support Palestine Action."

And Andy Burnham - labours apparent last hope - won't even acknowledge what's really happening.

Reform UK lied, it is not a £2000 Gucci blouse,
It is a 15 year old blouse from a charity shop made by Costa Brava.

Absolutely astonishing that there has been a two day racist pogrom in Northern Ireland and @Keir_Starmer hasn’t called a COBRA meeting.

QWHITE revealing!
