    Today I'll visit the Al-Baqa'a refugee camp which was first created in 1968, where 100,000 Palestinians live. The next Labour government will recognise Palestine as a state as one step towards a genuine two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict.

    Hurrah! The US media has now shown up to cover the unfolding Brexit-Russia scandal & its uncanny similarities to the Trump-Russia scandal. Because these are not two scandals, they are the same scandal. With one factor common to both:

    Relieved to see this investigation by into Sheffield Council barbaric plan to fell over 15,000 trees. Inconceivable to see thousands of healthy urban trees cut down when we need urban trees more than ever.

    Very good piece from the 's Paul Wood in that joins the dots on the very, many Trump-Russia connections that all run through the UK. What does British intelligence know? What does the British government know? What are we not being told?

    Bravo . What is the Home Office doing? What is the Met Police doing? What do the intelligence services know?

    Arron Banks' local MEP has written to today, asking him to share intelligence on collusion with Russia. She wants the Met's special operations unit to investigate.
