Writing in the Times, Sir Keir had said the timing of the protests was “un-British” and showed “little respect for others”. Sir Keir said: “Today we mark two years since the horrifying attacks on Israel by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023. Speaking to the PA news agency during a visit to Fife, he said: “I think people shouldn’t protest today.

About 1200 people were killed at locations including the site of the Nova music festival and kibbutzim near the border with Gaza during the attacks on 7 October 2023. Israel responded with a bombardment of the Gaza Strip which has continued for two years. Health officials in Gaza report that more than 67,000 people have been killed, most of them by air strikes.

These attacks are almost never investigated or prosecuted by Israel,” Dean Sewell said.

BRITS are delaying seeking treatment for cancer due to long NHS waiting times - even if they have symptoms, according to a study. But doctors are warning this behaviour could mean cancers are going undiagnosed or being caught later when survival chances are reduced. These views come against the backdrop of record NHS waiting lists, with more than 7.4 million treatments outstanding for 6.25 million patients in England. The study was commissioned by Skin Analytics, which specialises in AI-driven skin cancer detection and works with 27 NHS trusts across the UK. “Too many patients are delaying or avoiding care altogether because they don’t believe they will get seen.

Comedian Rosie Jones has said a plastic wine bottle was thrown at her and a friend in an ableist and homophobic attack on a train. In the video, Jones said they had thrown wine at her and added: “What a f****** waste.”On Monday, Jones posted a message to social media celebrating World Cerebral Palsy Day and said: “Today was going to be about me celebrating all that is good and brilliant about having CP. They mocked our voices, shouted slurs at us and even threw a wine bottle (plastic, thankfully). “People with cerebral palsy should never be made to feel like guests in an unwelcoming and hostile world which wasn’t set up for people like us. Rosie Jones is a wonderful human.”In 2023 Jones explored the prevalence of disability trolling in the UK in a Channel 4 documentary that received criticism for its title – Rosie Jones: Am I A R*tard?

Palantir co-founder Alex Karp has called Palantir’s systems “crucial” to Israeli military operations. ”We covered the Lavender AI technology here: Lavender: the First AI Genocide Device – Bella Caledonia. I wrote about Lavender last year:Lavender was developed by the Israel Defense Forces’ elite intelligence division, Unit 8200. It saved a lot of time.”Just as Palestinians are dehumanised by the rhetoric around the conflict, the technology furthers this dehumanisation. People become ‘targets’ and the technology is seen as simply a mechanism for efficiency and time-saving in the process of killing.

France’s embattled prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu, resigned on Monday less than 24 hours after forming a cabinet, catching the nation by surprise and making his government the shortest-lived in modern French history. Other forces, like the Socialist Party, argued that it was time for a left-wing prime minister to govern. Mr. Macron made no public comments on Monday, and it remained unclear what option he might pick. Mr. Lecornu, a close ally of Mr. Macron, was appointed less than a month ago. He is the third prime minister to leave office in under a year, a level of turmoil that until recently was rare in France.

When I read his remark, I was delighted by his ability to get straight to the heart of the Gospel. He claims that the story of the ten lepers (or the grateful Samaritan — labels vary) is “admittedly secondary and [Greek] in origin”. I recall my tears as I expressed how I wanted to be like the Samaritan leper. I was still wondering, after reading Bultmann, why a Samaritan would be sent to a Jewish priest. Bultmann’s point about the Samaritan leper and Jewish priests may finally have helped me towards an answer.

A manufacturing sector lobby group has called for Rachel Reeves to boost green energy investments by granting them exemption from a real estate tax. At present, manufacturers that invest in greener technologies see the value of their factories increase, which in turn increases their business rates bills - a system Make UK has branded "perverse", The Times reports. “However, it’s perverse that by making such investments their business rates increase. This is not just actively dissuading them but penalising them for ‘doing the right thing’.”Make UK has called on the chancellor to protect manufacturers investing in green assets from business rates for three years, as well as to extend tax reliefs for capital stock linked to industrial automation and decarbonisation. A Treasury spokesman told The Times: “The chancellor makes tax policy decisions at fiscal events.
