America will continue to support Israel. There's money in it. That's the bottom line for the US. To think differently is naive.

We shouldn't be surprised. Lammy is a cabinet minister in a UK government. You're not going to get a different answer on this topic. Deselect him if you feel strongly otherwise. These people don't listen to anything else.

He's also a hardcore Christian. Listen to his views on assisted dying for example. Whilst still in opposition he was asked about this on Question Time not that long ago. When the topic via Esther Rantzen first came up. He said he would seek council from his constituency and then made it clear that it was his church constituency that he was referring to. Forget about the electorate. His head and heart is firmly aligned with what his congregation wants. I suspect on this matter it is much the same.

  • Councils to sort dumping of fridges, mattresses and broken cars

What these institutions like the IMF don't understand is that countries aren't like households and we can just continue to borrow and increase our debt.... or something 😅

Keir Starmer defends stay at Lord Alli's property during election (www.bbc.co.uk)

Sir Keir Starmer has defended accepting accommodation from Labour donor Lord Waheed Alli during the general election, saying it was important his son had a peaceful place to study.

The prime minister told the BBC he had promised his 16-year-old son that he would be able to get to school and do his exams without being disturbed.

He declared Lord Alli had donated several weeks' accommodation, which is recorded as being worth more than £20,000, in the register of MPs' interests.

Sir Keir told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I had promised him faithfully that I would give him an environment in which he could calmly get on, his one chance to do his GCSEs, and therefore we relocated somewhere else - a gift which we then allocated a sum of money to."

I mean.... if you've got friends in high places then why wouldn't you gift £20k (pretty close to a year's salary for some) so that their son can revise? What's wrong with the library? Or their school?

How many winter fuel allowances would that cover? 😂
