“Crime is spiralling out of control under Labour” says Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp.
It’s a lie.
According to the new Crime Survey:
-violent crime DOWN
-knife crime DOWN
-robbery DOWN
-overall crime DOWN
-shoplifting DOWN
Yet Tory/Reform liars say it’s surging…

I’m deeply alarmed by Israeli actions in the occupied West Bank.
Settlements are expanding, evictions are unrelenting with Palestinians driven from their lands, settler violence is surging, Palestinian families are being assaulted.
We are seeing an increasingly coercive environment, with the spectre of ethnic cleansing looming ever larger.
This must end.
There can be no durable peace in the Middle East without the realization of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination.

Last week's Covid Inquiry report into care was a devastating verdict on @MattHancock's failures during the pandemic.
His response: silence.
He doesn't care.
Show him we still do; sign our petition to hold him accountable.

Freedom of movement, in a wonderful one-minute nutshell
👏 @MarinaPurkiss
To everyone getting their knickers in a twist…
All because @andyburnham suggested a sensible conversation about freedom of movement
…do you perhaps need reminding of this?

I don’t think I ever believed I’d see a newspaper paragraph like this: President Trump ‘said he would welcome immigrants from Denmark but not from Norway “because I didn’t get the Nobel Prize, so I don’t want anybody from Norway”.’

This is obscene. MPs expenses need to be capped.
Many are taking the piss.

Today Israeli authorities barred me and other European elected representatives from entering the West Bank to meet Palestinian students and civil society leaders, as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
We knew that by crossing into the occupied Palestinian territories, we risked being detained, interrogated and turned away by Israeli authorities. And that, alas, is exactly what happened.
For more than eight hours, we were held, interrogated and made to feel as though we had done something wrong simply by attempting to enter.
The simple truth is we had done nothing wrong. We went to show our support for the Palestinian people and highlight the terrible injustice and violence being perpetrated against them. We want to ensure that people back home do not look away from the reality of what is happening.
Ultimately, we went to show solidarity. But we left with an even greater determination to speak out. We will not be silenced, and we will not look away. None of us should.

This is the moment Channel 4 News Foreign Affairs Correspondent Secunder Kermani was charged at by a group of Israeli settlers in the Occupied West Bank.
The settlers have laid siege to a Palestinian home, while nearby Israeli soldiers keep watch but do not intervene.
Violent attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank have risen dramatically over the past two years, while Israel's government has approved a record number of new settlements.

Do not let the passing days make us forget Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the physician who continued fulfilling his humanitarian duty in Gaza amid war and danger, refusing to abandon his patients despite the pain and threats surrounding him.
Hussam Abu Safiya is not just a name that appeared in the news. He is the story of a doctor who chose to stand by his people when staying meant risking his life.
Do not forget him. Do not let his case fade into silence. Keep demanding his freedom. Behind this name is a human being who deserves to remain in our conscience until the day he is free.

Peter Oborne on the West Bank: "It is a horrific, racist project to drive out Palestinians... 65 of [the Bedouins'] communities have been destroyed in the last three years... The fact that we, the democratic, human rights-respecting West, is tolerating this horror is extraordinary."

Benjamin Netanyahu and his crew are fighting the most racist election in Israeli history. His opponent Gadi Eizenkot will normalise an illegal occupation, while his military record is chilling. I write for Zeteo:

Israel’s defenders: It’s not a genocide
Israelis: Palestinians must leave or we’ll kill them
A young blonde woman with an American accent in Israel says that all the Arabs must be kicked out of Gaza because it is "our land" since "God commanded us to take it."
The Palestinians should be kicked out to any other Arab state, she continues, except Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, "because they are ours."
"Or we will kill them," she adds
Can we stop pretending that this is a marginal view in Israel? That these are the comments of a fringe minority?
They are not. Israel has been on this path for quite some time.
Western governments know it fully - yet they continue to fund and enable Israel's genocidal policies.

The Covid Inquiry Report, the ITV documentary on Reform, completely ignored by #bbclaurak All the focus today was on freedom of movement and how it’s a bad thing. I don’t think there’s ever been more compromised journalists at the BBC than Kuenssberg and Mason.
