Nigel Farage says he wants to 'raise aspiration' by cutting the minimum wage for young people (currently £10), but reducing tax for young people earning over £100k. Presumably he wants them to just ask their stockbroker fathers to fix them up with a job in The City, like he did.

The UK Foreign Office is still defending Israel by saying that its preventing aid reaching Gaza only "risks" violating international law.
As Amnesty has said, this "is a war crime and amounts to collective punishment of the civilian population".
