During a visit to Gaza, Egeland said he had seen “scene after scene of absolute despair”, with families torn apart and unable to bury relatives who had died. He said that Israel, with western-supplied arms, had “rendered the densely populated area uninhabitable”. “This is in no way a lawful response, a targeted operation of ‘self-defence’ to dismantle armed groups, or warfare consistent with humanitarian law,” he said. “The families, widows and children I have spoken to are enduring suffering almost unparalleled to anywhere in recent history,” he added. “There is no possible justification for continued war and destruction.”

The Chief Secretary to the Treasury has said he will not vote to change the law on assisted suicide. Darren Jones, deputy to Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves, said he could not vote in favour, given the lack of scrutiny that Kim Leadbeater’s Private Member’s Bill will face in the House of Commons.

Rachel reeves driving up prices with tax and spend budget warns Bank of England on 09:32 - Nov 8 by OldFart71Nope. My concern is that the increase in spending and piling extra cost on to industry doesn't achieve that much and causes more misery to those with mortgages by the cost of them not coming down whilst pay rises are hit by the extra cost of N.I. It could lead to Labour just pouring more money into the so called Black Hole that Labour say the Tories left. Interest rates are currently at a "normal" historical level.

Alejandro Garnacho fired back at a fan who taunted him outside Old Trafford before Manchester United's Europa League match on Thursday. The 20-year-old had a disappointing performance in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Chelsea, which seemed to be the subject of the fan's mockery. But the fan persisted, adding: "Score a goal, and work on your first touch as well yeah?" His performance, along with Marcus Rashford's, was heavily criticised by Gary Neville for their lack of impact and effort.
