I thought she was outstanding during the pandemic and showed great leadership after the Christchurch attacks. Still, what do I know, with Starmer the bar is set very low!
start of a civil war Clashes erupt between Hamas forces and armed clan members in Gaza City 3 hours ago Share Save Rushdi AbualoufGaza correspondent in Istanbul please log in to view this image AFP via Getty Images At least 27 people have been killed in fierce clashes between Hamas security forces and armed members of the Dughmush family in Gaza City, in one of the most violent internal confrontations since the end of major Israeli operations in the enclave. Masked Hamas gunmen exchanged fire with clan fighters near the city's Jordanian hospital, witnesses said. A senior official in the Hamas-run interior ministry said security units surrounded them and engaged in heavy fighting to detain them. The ministry said eight its members were killed in "an armed assault by a militia". Medical sources said 19 Dughmush clan members and eight Hamas fighters had been killed since fighting began on Saturday. Eyewitnesses said the clashes erupted in the Tel al-Hawa neighbourhood in southern Gaza City after a Hamas force of more than 300 fighters moved to storm a residential block where Dughmush gunmen were entrenched. Residents described scenes of panic as dozens of families fled their homes under heavy gunfire, many of them displaced multiple times during the war. "This time people weren't fleeing Israeli attacks," one resident said. "They were running from their own people." The Dughmush family, one of Gaza's most prominent clans, has long had a tense relationship with Hamas, and its armed members have clashed with the group on several occasions in the past. The Hamas-run interior ministry said its forces were seeking to restore order, warning that "any armed activity outside the framework of the resistance" would be dealt with firmly. Both sides traded accusations over who was responsible for triggering the clashes. Hamas earlier said Dughmush gunmen killed two of its fighters and wounded five others, prompting the group to launch an operation against them. However, a source from the Dughmush family told local media that Hamas forces had come to a building that once served as the Jordanian Hospital, where the family had taken refuge after their homes in the al-Sabra neighbourhood were destroyed in the recent Israeli attack. The source claimed that Hamas sought to evict the family from the building to establish a new base for its forces there. Hamas has recalled about 7,000 members of its security forces to reassert control over areas of Gaza recently vacated by Israeli troops, according to local sources. Reports suggest armed Hamas units have already deployed across several districts, some wearing civilian clothes and others in the blue uniforms of the Gaza police. The Hamas media office denied it was deploying "fighters in the streets".
I’ve seen Stewart Lee live a couple of times and he’s brilliant. But this is exactly one of the things he takes the piss out of, celebrities who have opinions for money. It’s sad that his family were racists, and that Robert Jenrick is. But at least Stew has had a pay day out of it. Again.
Starmer totally humiliated by Trump, trying to gain reflected glory. Another pathetic attempt to show he's part of the action, Macron got similar treatment and deservedly so... https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com...s-reaction-goes-viral/videoshow/124547019.cms
How long before Hamas / Hezbollah start launching rockets into Israel who then responds in kind x 10? Maybe I'm unduly cynical but I think this conflict is far from over In the meantime we could start a top 10 of the issues that the permanent protesters backing the Palestinian cause will align themselves behind next. Is Paddy Power giving odds?
Interesting that as soon as Israel withdraw hundreds of Hamas 'footsoldiers' emerge from nowhere all looking well-fed and ready to take retribution against 'collaborators'. While their people starved Hamas looked after themselves hijacking most of the aid that arrived. I'll be amazed if we get to Christmas without it kicking off again, as long as Hamas remain it will always be on a knife-edge...
Imagine if all that energy from Tristram and Hatty wasted on calling for the obliteration of Israel had been channelled towards calling for the protection of Palestinians from their own. Not actually that hard to imagine as nothing would be any different but still would’ve made the last two years marginally less mental.
Even if Hamas had all starved with the people how long before another group was rearmed by Iran to start the mayhem all over again
Mahmood says that immigrants coming here to work will have to speak English to ‘A’ level standard. There is no such measure of fluency, ‘A’ level English is a technical course (my daughter did it) which most British people, including me, wouldn’t have a chance at. Why not use a relevant measure, like a Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) rating? No problem with the requirement, as always I despair at the execution.
they all need to talk proper english like what i do innit how else are they going to get your starbucks order right
