I’ve spent the past 2 years debating the credibility of the Gaza Health Ministry’s numbers with Israel supporters. It turns out the Israeli military agrees with me, not them.

It's #HolocaustMemorialDay and another annual reminder of what happens when hate takes over common sense. A reminder that extremism starts with twisting and misrepresenting stories about communities and people.We have to see beyond the hate and lies to ensure we are not in that position once again.

I'm also surprised that #Farage can't see this... Oh well.
You've got a lot of egos in Reform parliamentary party now - all extremely ambitious and I'd suggest that at least 3 of them - Braverman, Jenrick & Farage himself - harbour fantastical dreams of becoming PM.
A recipe for disaster and by far the biggest misstep Farage has made as leader of Reform.
