Obituaries have been coming in for Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, killed by Israel three days ago in Beirut. Some can’t resist lavishing the praise…
The FT’s obituary describes the terrorist leader as a “strategic thinker” with a “commanding presence …a man feared and admired in equal measure.” Those who met him said he was “courteous, perceptive and funny” – “a powerful orator… fixated on resistance to Israel.” Glowing…

Corbynite Bell Ribeiro-Addy’s primary contribution to the election was claiming Sunak’s “entire election campaign is going to be based on racism” – she spends the rest of her time heading up the APPG for “Afrikan Reparations.” Hard-left Corbyn fan girl MP Nadia Whittome mostly complains about NHS ‘privatisation’ in order to rehash arguments from 2019. If Vogue is to be believed the Socialist Campaign Group has its grip on the levers of power…
Lord Khan in the Telegraph: “I hope, and I say this in a non-pompous way, that the public service I do will bring rewards in this world and the hereafter,” he says. “I’m hoping the work I do is earning me Brownie points.”
