Latest How To Win.... with added Jeremy Hunt. Really enjoyed this one. Very candid and funny on the timely matter of how it feels when you're in a government that is falling apart. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…

New listener to @hugorifkind on @TimesRadio over the last few days. Refreshingly balanced and interesting conversation. Really great listening.
Latest Politics Unpacked, in which we discuss the French small boats deal and Bonnie Blue, and @j_amesmarriott and I somehow find ourselves explaining to @lib_thinks why neither of us would have sex with a sheep. podfollow.com/politics-unpac…

My parents were murdered on October 7th, and if anyone is slapping us in the face, it's people like you, who for the past 20 years have failed to prevent violence and bloodshed in Israel-Palestine, whilst making inflammatory remarks.
Your administration could stop the war today—if you truly wanted to.
At least President @EmmanuelMacron has a vision for Israel-Palestine that offers a future for both our nations' children. Some leaders bring war, starvation, and death; others bring hope, prosperity, and peace. Netanyahu and Sinwar are on one side, Macron is on the other. Which side are you on?
The United States strongly rejects @EmmanuelMacron’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the @UN general assembly.
This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th.
