No. Israel needs to stop acting as a recruiting sergeant for Hamas by recreating Bloody Sunday every day without cessation. Because even if the current members of Hamas were to surrender (to an uncertain fate in Israeli custody) they will simply be replacedBREAKING: Hamas says in a statement it has accepted the Egyptian-Qatari ceasefire proposalWould be big news if they were at war with either Egypt or Qatar.

They need to accept Israel's proposal, lay down their arms unconditionally, surrender and disband.
2001 was very poor with vastly overstated Labour leads1992 GE presumably?I've been trying to find this out for a while - what is the biggest miss, ever in modern UK polling? Say, since 1980Westminster VI (5 May):Redfield was initially one of the kinder pollsters to the Tories.

Conservative 21% (-1)
Reform UK 15% (+1)

NOTHING HAS CHANGED!
Edit - Reform 15% when they got 16.9% in a leave constituency in perfect conditions. My arse.
So you are simultaneously criticising him for being out of touch, and for trying to do something about it.He shouldn’t bother . It looks ridiculous . Everyone knows he couldn’t give a fig and has zero understanding of what life is like for most people . And given his disgusting hate filled government is now going after the disabled and sick he should just not bother with these vomit inducing photo ops .Bless ! Sunak has been out chopping vegetables in a soup kitchen and packing charity boxes .Damned if he does, etc.
Real man of the people ! Don’t his aides really not think this sort of photo op is an own goal .

What if they were hiding inside what you're always talking out of?They need to bomb and destroy Hamas.It's in their hands entirely to not bomb and destroy Rafah. You relish killing innocent people as the war-monger you are.That's not in their hands, is it?Israel also need to cancel their plans to kill innocent people.BREAKING: Hamas says in a statement it has accepted the Egyptian-Qatari ceasefire proposalWould be big news if they were at war with either Egypt or Qatar.

Israel need to accept this proposal to protect innocent lives. Israel has completely lost the plot and now needs to be challenged.
Innocent people get caught in the crossfire during war.
If Hamas surrender then the innocents would be saved, if they don't, then that's Hamas's choice.
Hamas are in Rafah.
I relish nothing, I'd rather Hamas surrender, but if they don't then they still need to be targeted wherever they are. There is no alternative to destroy Hamas other than target them wherever they are.
He was however quite clever.He does sound a lot like me to be fair, or perhaps I sound a lot like him?Tim wasn’t/isn’t a hardcore lefty, he was the quintessential Blairite centrist dad; he probably hates Corbynites more than Osborne et al. Gave PB Tories and the Herd a severe reaming on a regular basis though so a lot on the credit side in the ledger.Is https://twitter.com/ExStrategist this chap actually an ex-strategist? Does anyone know them?That's Tim, formerly of this parish.
To be honest for ages I thought you were him reincarnated, very similar vibes.
Hardcore lefty, he hated George Osborne and named his Twitter after him, mocked Osborne as a strategist regularly.

If your fire is mostly killing civilians rather than fighters, and you do it day after day, then it is hardly "crossfire", rather a settled strategy that a mostly-civilian death toll is worth it.That's not in their hands, is it?Israel also need to cancel their plans to kill innocent people.BREAKING: Hamas says in a statement it has accepted the Egyptian-Qatari ceasefire proposalWould be big news if they were at war with either Egypt or Qatar.

Curtice gives a measured response to the Rishi's straw-grasping over the NEV+UNS silliness:From that article:

A bit of background to Swinney's elevation:Maybe Flynn v Forbes is shaping up as the big defining battle in a couple of years? The sort of party the SNP is, political positioning and strategy for independence, to be decided by who wins. A little bit like Healey v Benn for Labour Deputy in 81. Visceral.
Kate Forbes was played by Sturgeon et al.
First, you have to understand why Humza got the boot. It wasn't because he was "useless" - that was factored in when he became leader. Nor was it because he dumped the Greens - he was pressured to do that. It was because he was talking to Salmond, via Ash Regan, in order to survive the no-confidence vote. That was intolerable to Sturgeon and her friends.
However, equally intolerable was Forbes taking over. That would have destroyed Sturgeon's political project to unite "progressives" around Indy. Hence Swinney being dragged out of retirement with the threat to Forbes that the party would be ungovernable if she challenged and won. Hence her decision to back "Honest" John.
However, when Swinney steps down, probably after the next Holyrood election, Stephen Flynn (current SNP Westminster leader) will be levered in as the next Continuity/Unity leader. Forbes will over time be marginalised,although she may prove useful during the next few months for the election campaign..
QED.
