Labour hiring Sue Gray was never a good look, for either Labour or Sue Gray. I’m surprised they never realised that.

Some of my thoughts have been way off the mark but with reports from channel 12 in Israel that sinwar has made contact with negotiators  (after many weeks of nothing) and from yesterday that Israel  think they’ve destroyed every tunnel under the Philadelphi corridor into Egypt,  I think the window for a ceasefire deal in Gaza is as large as it’s been for many months. 
 

(add that domestically BN is no longer totally reliant on some of the ultra right for his majority) 

 

with war ongoing with Hezbollah, BN doesn’t need war in Gaza to maintain his premiership. (At the moment).

Surely a ceasefire in Gaza, would lead to a ceasefire everywhere? 
 

Is Sinwar in Gaza or Qatar?

sinwar should be in Gaza ……..

I believe that the IDF had him in a location after they took control of the philadelphi corridor 

 

Hezbollah had said that a ceasefire in Gaza would mean they stopped lobbing rockets into n Israel (with responses) - that was before Israel upped the ante on them. a ceasefire requires both sides to ceasefire and I can’t see Israel letting them re equip and re establish their military structure.  This gives BN the chance to agree something in Gaza whilst still keeping the country at war in the north- a fight which does have wide domestic support

Which of course is exactly what Netanyahu wants to keep perpetuating as such bloodshed distracts the populace from his... rather questionable decision-making and self-interest.

Let's see what job Morgan McSweeney makes of running the country instead of Sue Gray 

I thought it was Lord Alli that was running the country :P 

 

McSweeney seems an open goal if there was a competent opposition given he was fined by the electoral commission for failing to declare donations.

There is a risk for his opponents that if he gets a ceasefire in Gaza (with the return of any living hostages) then a continuation of war against hezbollah will build his support base further. 
mind you, I think sinwar is alive to this and will attempt to exact a high price (probably many high value prisoners released ).  Sinwar should try to connect Gaza and Lebanon to avoid this happening.  Actually - that window is narrowing again !

I actually think there’s far more factions operating in Gaza than perhaps we realize.. it gives Hamas the perfect opportunity to carry on the war by supplying other groups with their own arms “ ooh it’s not us firing the rockets it’s the pesky ISIS” type thing.  Either that or I just see the more militant aspect of Hamas morphing into another   Brutal organization. Also,  once the hostages are returned ( I feel there’s less alive than we realize) then the IDF will become even more brutal in flooding what’s left of the tunnel network. Flooding the tunnel network will be catastrophic for the environment  and render the farmland useless.

 

 

 In short, i just don’t see how peace can be found between  2 sides committed to each others destruction :(

Only way this ends is if "the west" puts a stop to our support of what is essentially a genocide.

Hamas would prefer ‘the genocide’

 

therein lies the problem on one side 

 

clearly sig issues on the other too but being comfortable to see their people go through such horrendous trauma isn’t one of them

And it wouldn't end there for the other side, either.

 

The Israelis now clearly want security for their own people through proper Old Testament style vengeance on a disproportionate scale. How well that sits and how justifiable it is clearly is up to the individual beholder.

we are not supporting Hamas that much are we?

 

 

 

Seriously though, both as bad as each other. Just Israel are more powerful than Hamas so are doing it on a larger scale.

All ears at 3.30 pm. Tories announce the results of the next stage of the leadership ballot.  Will Cleverly make it to the final vote?

Probably, I think he's the best out of a desperate bunch. He's certainly more right centre, looking at approval ratings today he won't even need to go on the offensive that much if he becomes leader of the opposition.
