Rishi in Awe of Musk.
At a conference on AI, Rishi Sunak, sat on stage interviewing, Elon Musk. The billionaire businessman has quite a few thumbs in many pies. He has business interests in space, manufacturing, and the internet. He has views on migration, and, media in general. Some of his acts and views do not always align with British domestic and foreign policy. For example, the UK is backing Israel in its fight with Hamas. The internet is mainly down due to targeting by Israeli forces. However, Musk has provided Gazans with the internet via his Starlink satellite internet service. It would seem Musk also has the power to help or blunt Ukraine, in its fight, with Russia. Musk is someone you either love or hate and there ain't no in-between.

Boris: No Idea!
Ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been, appointed, as a presenter on GB News. It seems this channel gives jobs to washed-up, right-wing politicians. Take Nigel Farage, popular as he may have been or may still be, yet he never got, into parliament. Yet, he is the anchor of his show now.

Sir Keir Starmer: Gaza Needs Humanitarian Pause.
As the Hamas-Israel conflict rages, Sir Keir Starmer has called for a pause in the fighting. To allow humanitarian aid into Gaza on top of the trucks already carrying aid from the Egyptian side. The situation for the Gazans is very dire. The Israelis have been bombing seemingly indiscriminately Gaza to rubble. The IDF say civilians will die because Hamas bases itself in areas where civilians dwell. So, Israel has no choice but to bomb areas where civilians live and cannot be helped if Hamas (allegedly) chooses to be amongst the population.

Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Hold Meeting.
Hezbollah has held off from joining the war against Israel. Yes, Israel and Hezbollah, have exchanged shots over the border. However, the scene in the north of Israel remains tense. It is probably at its tensest, since Israel and Hezbollah, fought a 34-day war in 2006. Both sides fought each other to a standstill. Although, some pundits, think that Hezbollah gave Israel a bloody nose. The first time that a Muslim adversary had gone toe-to-toe with Israel and achieved something resembling a victory. Massive damage, however, was done to Lebanon, and many people lost their lives, not just Hezbollah fighters. Israel too, had damage inflicted upon it, with loss of life too.

Protests by both Palestinian and Israeli supporters have taken to the streets. To show solidarity, with which side they support. And as James Cleverly, rightly points out, each side has a right to protest and make their views known.

Netanyahu: "We Are At War".
Hamas has launched a surprise incursion into Israel. In a 'Pearl Harbour' style surprise attack, well-armed, well-organised, Hamas fighters, attacked Israelis. 5,000 rockets landed in Israel, with, 545 injured and 22 Israelis dead. The comparison to 'Pearl Harbour' that I made is not for nothing. Apparently, no one in Israel saw this coming, Israel really did, have its guard down.

Sunak Reported to Scottish Police.
Sunak made what would be His last speech before next year's general election. One of the most controversial parts of the speech was about HS2. Despite West Midland's Mayor Andy Street and Greater Manchester's Mayor Andy Burnham's protestations, HS2 is being wound up. There had been speculation about, what, exactly Sunak and Chancellor Hunt would do about it. Sunak revealed, in his conference speech, that HS2 would be closed down between Birmingham and Manchester. Instead, Sunak said, the 6 million that it was taking to construct the line would be ploughed back into developing motorways, in need, of repair. That's all well and good, but one of the reasons for constructing the rail system was to take traffic off the road. Now with the winding up of the Birmingham - Manchester line, more commuters must find alternative ways of travelling. Which will create more congestion on our already busy roads and motorways.

Stephen Pound MP Defends Ulez.
Political commentator Emma Woolf has branded the London Mayor a "little dictator". In a scathing assessment of the mayor's reign. The London Mayor is struggling in the polls against Tory candidate Susan Hall. According to the pollster company JL Partners, there is a, 35% - 32%, difference between Khan and Hall. This will give Susan Hall hope of beating Khan. In a sense, Khan may have created his own downfall, but it was well intended.
