Utterly wrong for Israel to have denied UK MPs entry to the country. Authoritarian states have sanctioned MPs for exercising their free speech. But this a very worrying move by a democracy and ally. Foreign Secretary should summon the Israeli Ambassador to explain.

So, to recap, the Govt's approach to growth:
