Foreign secretary Yvette Cooper writes that UK policy towards Russia in Ukraine is meant to:
“make clear that aggression will not pay; that force will be resisted; and to defend principles that matter for the whole world.”
Where is this principle in relation to Israel/Gaza?

OBR to downgrade UK productivity.
UK at or near bottom of the OECD investment league for 30 yrs.
Problem: City has short term horizons, direct state investment neutered.
China invests 40.4% of GDP in productive assets, India 30.5%, UK 18.2%, OECD average 23%.

Immigration, deprivation and time spent online having ‘profound impact on society’, Rayner says – UK politics live
Deputy PM urges government to acknowledge people ‘real concerns’ and flagged deprivation where worst riots erupted last summer
An attempt by three former MPs to force the UK government to hold an inquiry into the impact of Russian disinformation on the Brexit vote and other recent elections has failed at the European court of human rights.
The Strasbourg court ruled on Tuesday that countries had a “wide margin” in determining how to tackle attempts at electoral interference, and ruled against a case brought by Ben Bradshaw, Caroline Lucas and Alyn Smith. Continue reading...

In the 9 years since the Brexit ref, Europe has learned that Brexit was simply the first salvo in a Putin-backed attack upon the EU, NATO and Western Democracy. A reveral of Brexit would therefore be seen as a defeat of fascism and a great victory for both the EU and the whole European idea.

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>A consulting firm involved in the scandal-plagued Gaza Humanitarian Foundation entered into a multimillion-dollar contract to develop the initiative and modelled a plan to "relocate" <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/palestine" target="_blank">Palestinians</a> from Gaza as part of its work, a Financial Times investigation has revealed.</p>
<p>The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) helped design and run the <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/tags/united-states" target="_blank">US</a> and <a href="https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/israel" target="_blank">Israeli</a>-backed scheme which aimed to supplant United Nations-led aid coordination mechanisms in Gaza.</p>
<p>The chaotic roll out of the programme has seen 600 Palestinians killed and another 4,000 wounded by Israeli forces while attempting to access aid.</p>
<p>The firm has disavowed its involvement in the project, claiming in a <a href="https://www.bcg.com/news/7june2025-clarifying-bcg-involvement-with-aid-in-gaza" target="_blank">statement</a> in June that it had initially provided "pro bono support" for the project, but two senior partners that led the work "failed to disclose" its full nature and had subsequently carried out "unauthorised work" on the project.</p>
<p>It said that the partners have since been fired and an investigation has been launched into the firm's involvement in the scheme.</p>
