The war between Hamas and Israel is mostly over. Meanwhile, a battle over the Holy Land is kicking off in Parliament. The APPG for Christianity in the Holy Land held its annual AGM today. The cross-party group, which exists to “promote the heritage and contemporary role of Christianity in the Holy Land,” had long been chaired by Reform defector and evangelical Christian, Danny Kruger. Crusader Kruger, anyone?
Tory wet, Simon Hoare, however, was having none of it and organised for 25 fellow Tory wets to turn up at the group’s AGM and vote Kruger out as chairman in a surprise attack. Israel looks like a beacon of peace and stability in comparison…
Speaking on the Labour chaos over the last few weeks, Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told The Guardian:
“You call it a sh*tshow, I say it’s unforgivable…It does look to people outside that we’re more interested in ourselves and less interested in preventing chaos. […] We’ve not done enough, and this has got to be the moment of reckoning where we say not just what are we here for, but who are we here for?”
