The very first thing the Prime Minister does is use the household budget metaphor.
A metaphor - this report into BBC coverage - said could be "easily misleading."
Why is the government trying to mislead the country?

This should concern everyone.
Protest is a cornerstone of our democracy - without it, we wouldn’t have the right to vote. We must protect it at all costs.
After years of the Tories attacking our right to protest, this Labour government should strengthen our rights, not restrict them even further.

Almost 300 participants of the Global Sumud Flotilla are still detained by Israeli forces, who are reportedly subjecting activists to brutal physical and verbal abuse.
This is not “a matter for the Israeli government”. It’s a violation of international law.
