Will the media finally do their job & ask No.10 who blocked the arrest warrant for Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar during his UK visit?
It’s astonishing the PM insists he had no role in blocking a warrant for an unindicted war criminal.
So who’s lying? Because someone is.

@theguardian.com please explain why you’ve published such a misleading headline.
Overall, research shows dairy's health risks outweigh its benefits. Plants are a healthier calcium source — not to mention dairy's devastating impact on animals, climate, and the environment.

Misleading headlines saying “half glass of milk” when the study primarily identifies calcium, which is available in lots of other food including non-dairy www.theguardian.com/science/2025...
Daily glass of milk may cut bowel cancer risk by fifth, research finds

So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda.
For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK
