ℹ Creating two separate states is the only solution to ending the conflict between #Israel and #Palestine, the defence secretary has said

#GrantShapps said it was "disappointing" that Israel's prime minister has rejected the idea

Benjamin #Netanyahu's position was not "a surprise", he told the #BBC

But Mr #Shapps said #Palestine "deserved" a sovereign state, adding "I really don't see that there is another solution"

🇬🇧 will send 20k troops to #NATO's biggest military drill since the #ColdWar as the alliance practices repelling an #invasion by #Russia, #DefSec #GrantShapps is expected to announce today

"Today our adversaries are busily rebuilding their barriers, old enemies are reanimated, battle lines are being drawn, the tanks are literally on #Ukraine's lawn and the foundations of the world order are being shaken to their core. We stand at a crossroads", said Mr #Shapps

Gary #Lineker seemed to break rules, next BBC chairman says

Looks like our Gary may be for the chop - for adding his name to an open letter opposing the government's plan to deport asylum seekers to #Rwanda

Tory MPs including #GrantShapps & #30pLee & #Gullis (what a collection!) accused him of breaching impartiality & complained to the corporation....

After hearing #Ukrainecast on @BBCWorld I can't help comparing the erosion of #RAAC buildings to the effects of the #Ukraine 🪖 counter offensive on the 3 Russian defence lines. When they fall it will be sudden - until then unless you're schooled in military strategy it may look like nothing. We should make sure #grantshapps knows that the UK government's military support for Ukraine must be constant

#Tories accused of #hypocrisy in #ULEZ row after call to extend #CongestionCharge

Ministers have claimed Ulez is cash-raising ploy – but letter reveals #GrantShapps backed a separate charge for same reason

The 'horror' expressed by #GrantShapps & the CEO of #Centrica, that people operating on their behalf are breaking into homes to install #prepaymeters is just yet more declaratory politics...

Of course they knew this was happening, but no doubt it was so masked in business gobbledygook that they were able to practice plausible deniability until a reporter (from the Times) went undercover & joined a crew doing the work...

There is no defence for their claimed 'ignorance' of what was being done!
