Piers Morgan “Mohammed, do you condemn the Hamas attacks on October the 7th?”
Mohammed Hijab “Yes, I do. Do you condemn Israel killing over 1000 kids?”
Piers Morgan “I believe Israel has a right to defend themselves”
That answer should be on the tombstone of his career.

Tories want to deregulate construction.
They looked at Grenfell tower and only saw the brilliant cost savings of the flammable cladding. They almost certainly can't understand why anyone should be held accountable.
