For seven weeks, Hussam Saleem has lived under the relentless sound of bombs falling around his house in Gaza City. When the temporary truce agreed between Israel and Hamas begins on Friday, one of the 60-year-old’s first priorities will be finally getting some sleep. “We badly need this break. We want to sleep, go to the market, look for the basic needs we could not provide to our children over the past weeks,” Saleem told Middle East Eye. At last, Saleem and the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million other Palestinians will get a few days respite, with a four-day pause in fighting allowing the exchange of 50 Israeli captives and 150 Palestinian prisoners. Or so they hope. The truce was supposed to begin on Thursday, but has been delayed over "logistical" issues as fraught negotiations continue. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-war-gaza-truce-chance-sleep-eat-recover Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

We are risking a repeat of the Sarah Everard murder, campaigners have warned, after Byline Times revealed that almost nine in 10 complaints about police forces are not formally investigated. Sarah Everard, 33, was kidnapped, raped and murdered in March 2021 by serving Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens, leading to protests and a nationwide backlash. In the time since, it has been revealed that chances to catch Couzens for other crimes and misconduct were missed in the days, months and years before the murder. Among other things, Couzens was investigated over indecent exposure claims as much as six years prior. Despite receiving a record 81,142 complaints concerning 134,952 different allegations in 2022-2023, Byline Times has found that only 17,098 – or 12.6% – led to a formal ‘Schedule 3’ investigation. Forty per cent of cases nationwide ended with police forces taking no further action. At 14 of the 44 police forces in England and Wales examined, fewer than 3% of all complaint cases received led to a local investigation. British police forces are largely self-regulating – handling any investigations into allegations of poor behaviour or misconduct themselves. The most serious cases of misbehaviour, misconduct and criminality, however, are handed to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) to be investigated. https://bylinetimes.com/2023/11/22/revealed-police-regulator-investigating-fewer-than-1-of-all-complaints/ You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

The formal sale process for Telegraph Media Group and The Spectator – both profitable businesses – began on Friday 20 October. Several well-known media figures have expressed an interest in taking part in the auction for the media brands, including bosses behind the Daily Mail, GB News and The News Movement – as well as The Telegraph’s most recent owners themselves. The starting gun was fired in June when Lloyds Banking Group seized The Telegraph and The Spectator from the Barclay family, who owed around £1bn in outstanding debt. The current value of The Telegraph has been put at around £600m. Since the process began, its latest financial results have been published, indicating growing profit and revenues. Telegraph Media Group reported turnover for 2022 up 4% year-on-year to £254.2m and profit before tax up 32% to £39m. The publisher, including recent acquisition Chelsea Magazine Company, has also reached the milestone of one million subscriptions. https://pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/nationals/telegraph-sale-latest-bidders-investors-spectator/ You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Rishi Sunak would almost certainly have known scientists were worried about his “eat out to help out” scheme during the pandemic, Sir Patrick Vallance has said, directly contradicting the prime minister’s evidence to the Covid inquiry. In potentially damaging testimony, Vallance, the UK government’s chief scientific adviser during the pandemic, said he would be “very surprised” if Sunak, then chancellor, had not learned about objections to his plan to help the hospitality industry. Sunak had written to the inquiry saying he “[did] not recall any concerns about the scheme” being raised in ministerial meetings despite growing concerns that the discount plan could fuel the spread of the virus. An extract from Vallance’s contemporaneous diary, in July 2020, provided evidence that Sunak also sought to push back against the scientists’ advice. In one economics-based meeting, Sunak said “it’s all about handling the scientists, not handling the virus”, the entry said. Vallance said: “There were definitely periods when it was clear that the unwelcome advice we were giving was, as expected, not beloved, and that meant we had to work doubly hard to make sure that the science evidence and advice was being properly heard.” In other evidence, Vallance said Boris Johnson at times struggled to follow basic scientific concepts crucial to Covid, such as the impacts of lockdown on waves of infection, and had to have them explained repeatedly. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/nov/20/patrick-vallance-contradicts-rishi-sunak-evidence-to-covid-enquiry You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Ofsted inspectors should not be in classrooms and the whole system needs "a big change", an inquiry has said. The Beyond Ofsted inquiry, chaired by former schools minister Lord Jim Knight and funded by the National Education Union, called for a "transformational" alteration to school inspections. The report recommended that schools should instead be responsible for their own improvement plans. Ofsted said inspections are needed to ensure a high-quality education. "Children only get one chance at education, and inspection helps make sure that education standards are high for all children," a spokesperson said. But Lord Knight's inquiry said Ofsted was now seen as "toxic" and "not fit for purpose" and was in need of major reform. That reform should include an end to single-word judgements like "outstanding" or "inadequate", which the inquiry said were too simplistic to describe a whole school. That was also one of the key recommendations of another report on school improvement released on Monday, by the Institute for Public Policy Research, which called for narrative-style judgements instead. The suicide of head teacher Ruth Perry earlier this year highlighted the pressure inspections can put on schools and led to a debate about how Ofsted operates. Ofsted, the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills, inspects and reports on anywhere that provides education for young people in England - including schools, nurseries and childminders. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-67449711 You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Tax officials are understood to be examining whether David Cameron failed to fully disclose taxable perks such as flights on private planes when he worked for the collapsed lender Greensill Capital, the Guardian can reveal. In particular, officials are said to be looking at a number of flights that took off or landed near his house in Oxfordshire and also in Cornwall, where the foreign secretary has a holiday home. They are also examining an offshore trust that it is understood was created by Greensill to pay him extra benefits. It comes amid wider concerns that the process for appointing the former prime minister to the House of Lords, and other background checks for his cabinet appointment, were rushed through in a bid to keep the details of Rishi Sunak’s reshuffle secret. Cameron was embroiled in the Greensill lobbying scandal after he exploited contacts gathered during his tenure as prime minister to try to win business for the now defunct supply-chain finance company at the start of the pandemic in early 2020. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/nov/22/hmrc-david-cameron-greensill-flights You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Patients in the UK are waiting longer to see a doctor than people in countries including Rwanda, China and Russia, a global health survey has found. For appointments to see a GP within 24 hours, the UK ranked the third-worst of 40 countries surveyed, according to the Economist Impact health inclusivity index. Just over a third (35.3 per cent) of British respondents were able to see a doctor within a day, with only Canada (30.6 per cent) and France (33.7 per cent) ranking lower than the UK, and the figure falling far below the global average of 66.8 per cent. Almost one in five people in the UK (16.9 per cent) said they had to wait longer than a week to see their GP, compared with 7 per cent globally. ​Even war-torn Ukraine saw better waiting times for a GP than the UK, with 72.3 per cent saying they had access to a primary care doctor within 24 hours, while in Russia more than half could see a doctor in a day. Turkey scored the best for short waiting times (88.1 per cent), followed by Rwanda (87.4 per cent), Algeria (86.6 per cent), Kenya (84.6 per cent) and Mexico (83.8 per cent). The index released on Monday, which surveyed 42,000 people worldwide and was supported by consumer health company Haleon, ranked the UK third overall as the most “health inclusive” country. This was based on a variety of factors including policies, systems, spending and access. https://inews.co.uk/news/world/gp-waiting-times-uk-rwanda-china-russia-2768105 You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

European Union negotiators did not believe Boris Johnson’s bluff that he was prepared to pull the UK out of the bloc with a no-deal Brexit, Michel Barnier has revealed. The EU’s former Brexit negotiator has said he knew the former PM was not serious about his “madman” claim to be ready to exit without a trade agreement with Brussels. In scathing comments, Mr Barnier also said Mr Johnson’s ministers “did not know” or understand the consequences of Brexit. The French politician also backed Sir Keir Starmer’s plan for a veterinary deal to help ease trade barriers – but dismissed Labour’s plan to go through Mr Johnson’s Brexit deal “page by page”. “From the very first day, the UK ministers not only underestimated the consequences of Brexit – they did not know the consequences of Brexit,” Mr Barnier told the Financial Times. The ex-negotiator criticised then PM Theresa May for ruling out any membership to the single market or customs union from the outset, and said Mr Johnson made “a huge mistake” by imposing deadlines on Brexit. “He had no time.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-boris-johnson-eu-deal-barnier-b2450405.html You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Rumble https://rumble.com/c/c-2526312 Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

Israel and Hamas agreed on Wednesday to a ceasefire in Gaza for at least four days, to let in aid and release at least 50 hostages captured by militants in exchange for at least 150 Palestinians jailed in Israel. The first truce in a brutal near seven-week-old war, reached after mediation by Qatar, was hailed around the world as a sign of progress that could ease the suffering of Gaza's civilians and bring more Israeli hostages home. Israel said the ceasefire could be extended further, as long as more hostages were freed. Hamas and allied groups captured around 240 hostages when gunmen rampaged through southern Israeli towns on Oct. 7. Previously, Hamas had released just four. The official start time for the truce is expected to be announced within 24 hours, with the first hostages to go free on Thursday. A statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said 50 women and children would be released over four days at a rate of at least 10 per day. Beyond that, the truce could be extended as long as an additional ten hostages were freed per day. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-government-debates-deal-release-gaza-hostages-truce-2023-11-21/ Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

As the families of Israeli captives held in Gaza march from Tel Aviv to Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence in Jerusalem on Saturday, Israel’s longest-serving premier has never been less popular. A poll from November 14 has Netanyahu’s popularity among Israeli Jews at about 4 percent and both his opponents and traditional allies are calling for him to resign once the current war ends. “He’s very vulnerable, more than he’s ever been in his political career given that he presided over the greatest intelligence security failure in Israel’s history,” Khaled Elgindy, an expert on Palestinian-Israeli Affairs at the Middle East Institute in Washington, DC, told Al Jazeera. “Prime ministers have fallen for far less than that.” Ever since he won elections last November and installed the most right-wing government in the country’s history, Netanyahu has battled criticism. Protests have plagued Netanyahu’s latest term over his attempts at judicial reforms. But October 7 has eroded much of even what remained of the support Netanyahu once enjoyed, say experts. “I suspect there’s a lot of discontent with his leadership of the government, even within his own party,” Zachary Lockman, an expert on Palestine and Israel at New York University, told Al Jazeera. https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/11/18/a-lot-of-discontent-netanyahu-alone-as-israel-turns-on-wartime-pm Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

A police officer has been accused of “shoving” a nine-year-old boy as he left Saturday’s March for Palestine with his parents, leaving him needing hospital treatment. In a video of what appears to be the aftermath of the incident seen by openDemocracy, the boy’s parents ask the officer why he pushed their son and in response he says they had brought their child to a “violent protest”. The child was taken to hospital where medics confirmed he had suffered a soft-tissue injury on his shoulder, according to his parents Abu and Saheema – who have asked us not to use their surname. They blame the incident on the comments of former home secretary Suella Braverman, who labelled the Palestine protests “hate marches”. https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/met-police-palestine-march-protest-child-shoved-nine/ You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

For nearly seven kilometres, Rewaa Moeen had carried her six-year-old paralysed brother Ahmed on foot, fighting exhaustion and an intense fear that she and her family could be bombed at any moment before they reach the southern areas of the Gaza Strip. But the long journey to "safety" has been made even more arduous by the rubble of flattened buildings for the hundreds of thousands of people who had been ordered by the Israeli military to move to the south of the blockaded strip, using a so-called "safe corridor" while only carrying their ID cards with them. Knowing that they could not take anything, Moeen's family did not risk taking Ahmed's wheelchair, fearing that he might be targeted. "At the beginning of the war when many families evacuated their homes, we refused to evacuate and head to the south. Part of the reason was that moving my brother is not easy, he needs a special environment and a place to be able to do his daily activities easily," Moeen, 27, told Middle East Eye. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-war-gaza-disabled-people-trying-survive Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said he would “hold the door wide open” to private sector entrepreneurs who can improve the NHS if the Labour Party enter Government. His remarks on the latest episode of i‘s podcast Labour’s Plan For Power came as his predecessors Alan Milburn and Andy Burnham clashed over just how much of a role outside firms should have in the health service. Mr Streeting told i that he wants to get “quite tough on NHS England” to drive reform using new technologies and encourage the body to be more open to bringing private-sector companies into the health service. “I want those entrepreneurs that are coming up with cutting-edge treatments and technologies to know that when they come up with a great idea that can deliver better outcomes for patients and better value for taxpayers’ money, they’re not going to struggle to get through the front door of the NHS,” he said. “We’re going to be holding the door wide open and encouraging them to come in.” https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/labour-private-sector-nhs-wes-streeting-2760505 You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Sir Keir Starmer said Jeremy Corbyn’s “days as a Labour MP are over” as he condemned the former leader’s repeated refused to call Hamas a terrorist organisation in an interview. The Labour leader said his predecessor – stripped of the party whip in 2020 – “won’t stand as a Labour MP at the next election or any election”. Mr Corbyn had been repeatedly asked on Talk TV’s Piers Morgan Uncensored programme this week if he thought Hamas was a terror group. But the independent Islington North MP, an outspoken critic of Israel, continually avoided the question and attempted to move the conversation on. Mr Corbyn later told Times Radio: “Of course it [7 October] was a terror attack and it was an awful attack.” Sir Keir – who served in Mr Corbyn’s shadow cabinet – said he was “taken aback and shocked” by the left-wing stalwart’s refusal to describe Hamas as a terror outfit in the TalkTV interview. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-starmer-labour-gaza-ceasefire-b2449617.html You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

The state of disrepair of some schools is so bad that 700,000 pupils are learning in classrooms that need a major rebuild or refurbishment, according to a damning parliamentary inquiry into the school estate. This year’s crisis over crumbling and potentially dangerous concrete means that other schools in dire need of an overhaul will not be included in the government’s current rebuilding programme. MPs on the powerful public accounts committee, which examined the state of school repairs, also warned of a “shocking and disappointing” lack of basic information from the government on the concrete crisis in schools. It said that there were now unacceptable numbers of pupils learning in “poorly maintained or potentially unsafe buildings”. It states that the government’s School Rebuilding Programme (SRP) has become dominated by concerns over the use of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac). The committee said many of the 100 schools still to be selected for the programme will be chosen due to serious Raac issues, leaving other run-down schools in limbo. An estimated 700,000 pupils attend the 1,200 schools considered for the SRP. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2023/nov/19/pupils-being-taught-in-schools-in-england-that-need-major-refurbishment You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Forcing some medical staff to work through industrial action under new anti-strike laws could end up harming patient care, hospital trust leaders have said, as ministers claimed their new measures would keep public services running over Christmas. NHS Providers, which represents hospital, mental health and ambulance trusts, said there was a significant risk it would damage relationships between staff and employers that are already very challenged, in a way that could affect patients. In a submission to the consultation on minimum service levels in hospitals, it said: “Our key concern is that rather than strengthening services as intended, the legislation proposed would worsen relationships between employers and staff, and between trusts and local union representatives to the longer-term detriment of patient care.” NHS Providers also Highlighted the government’s own assessments showing it would be more financially costly than alternatives. Its verdict was published as the government set out guidance to employers on how to issue notices to staff under its new legislation. The TUC, the organising body for trade unions, said the laws were “designed to escalate disputes – not resolve them”. It said the new guidance along with a statutory code of practice “makes an already dire piece of legislation even worse” by trying to wrap unions and employers in red tape. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/nov/17/forcing-medical-staff-work-during-strikes-harm-care-nhs-providers You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Benefit claimants who fail to find work for more than 18 months will have to undertake work experience placements, under rules planned for late next year. If they refuse they will lose access to their benefits for a period, the government says. But the charity Mind said the use of sanctions would worsen peoples' mental health. It is part of new plans to get people back to work, which will also see an extra £2.5bn spent on career support. Under a plan that would need parliamentary approval, those solely eligible for the standard Universal Credit allowance who refuse to engage with job centre staff or accept work offered to them after six months will have their claims closed. That means they will have to go through the application process again if they want to keep receiving benefits and lose access to extras such as free prescriptions and legal aid during that time. Meanwhile, Labour pledged to invest an extra £1.1bn to cut NHS waiting lists to help get people back to work. According to the Treasury, the number of people not seeking work has risen sharply since the pandemic, hurting the economy. It said there were 300,000 people who had been registered as unemployed for over a year in the three months to July. But Vicki Nash from mental health charity Mind said: "The increase in the use of sanctions is deeply worrying. Evidence has repeatedly shown they don't work and make people's mental health worse". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67439675 You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

You might not have known it but, should you be foolish enough to vote for a Labour government at the next election, then you won’t be allowed to travel more than 15 minutes from your home, you’ll have to sort your rubbish out into seven different recycling bins, and you’ll have to pay a special tax on meat. Well actually you won’t – none of these are true but they are examples of a form of spin, dubbed ‘strategic lies’, a technique which is being increasingly mobilised by mainly right-wing spin doctors and politicians. Accusations that politicians lie are far from new, but the intensity of such accusations has increased in recent years – and strategic lies are one reason why. An early incarnation came in 2011 when Donald Trump, at the time theoretically supporting the Democrats, claimed to have “proof” that President Barack Obama had not been born in the United States (making him ineligible to occupy the White House). It was the start of the so-called “birther” controversy. Trump went as far as to say that he was sending a team of private investigators to Hawaii to learn the truth and promised to donate $5 million to charity if anyone could convince him that Obama was born on US soil. There is no record of any such team arriving in Hawaii, nor of Trump donating $5 million to charity following the publication of Obama’s birth certificate. Over the next three years, Trump continued to raise the issue despite the lie being comprehensively rebutted. He kept repeating it not because he expected people to believe it but, as a strategic lie, it kept the issue of Obama’s ‘otherness’ near the top of the mainstream news agenda. It’s no coincidence that a similar controversy was mounted against Vice President Kamala Harris shortly after she was nominated as Joe Biden’s running mate in 2020. The inauguration of the British version came with the EU Referendum. “We send Brussels £350 million a week. Let’s spend it on the NHS instead” was painted on the side of several campaign buses; the backdrop to almost every Brexiter interview. https://bylinetimes.com/2023/11/17/lies-damned-lies-and-strategic-lies/ You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

U.N. aid deliveries to Gaza were suspended again on Friday due to shortages of fuel and a communications shutdown, deepening the misery of thousands of hungry and homeless Palestinians as Israeli troops battled Hamas militants in the enclave. The United Nations' World Food Programme (WFP) said civilians faced the "immediate possibility of starvation" due to the lack of food supplies. Palestinian news agency WAFA said a number of Palestinians were killed and others injured in an Israeli strike that hit a group of displaced people near the Rafah border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Egypt - the transit point for aid. Al Jazeera TV cited sources as saying that nine people were killed in the strike. There was no immediate comment from Israel on the reported strike and Reuters could not verify it. In other developments, Israel said its troops had found a tunnel shaft used by Hamas at Al Shifa hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip. The hospital, packed with patients and displaced people and struggling to keep operating, has been a major focus of global concern this week. Israel says Hamas has stored weapons and ammunition and is holding hostages in a network of tunnels under hospitals like Shifa, using patients and people taking shelter there as human shields. Hamas denies this. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-tunnel-found-gazas-al-shifa-hospital-says-israel-un-aid-halted-2023-11-16/ Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

Israeli forces have dropped leaflets warning Palestinians to leave southern Gaza, residents in the besieged city of Khan Younis have said. It is feared the leaflets could signal Israel is planning to broaden its offensive to the south - where hundreds of thousands fled to escape its bombardment and ground assault. They warned civilians to evacuate and said anyone in the vicinity of military positions is "putting his life in danger". Two reporters working for the Associated Press news agency who live east of Khan Younis confirmed they had seen the leaflets. The Israeli military declined to comment - but defence minister Yoav Gallant said on Wednesday that the ground offensive will eventually "include both the north and the south", vowing to "strike Hamas wherever it is". Similar leaflets were dropped in northern Gaza ahead of Israel's ground invasion, warning people to travel south. https://news.sky.com/story/israel-hamas-war-idf-drops-leaflets-warning-palestinians-to-flee-parts-of-southern-gaza-13009722 Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

Tory grassroot activists have broadly welcomed the return of David Cameron to frontline politics and the party’s shift to the centre right, but still believe the Conservatives face a “tough challenge” at the next general election. Local Conservative figures also welcomed Rishi Sunak’s sacking of Suella Braverman, claiming that her “inappropriate language” on homelessness and protests did not represent the views of the majority of Tory supporters despite claims to the contrary from the former home secretary. The return of the former prime minister, who was made a Lord in order to allow him to become Foreign Secretary, was the shock move in Mr Sunak’s wide-ranging cabinet reshuffle, which also included the appointment of Victoria Atkins as health secretary and the sacking of Thérèse Coffey as environment secretary. https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/cameron-asset-tory-grassroots-return-general-election-defeat-2752974 'Political suicide': Grassroots Tories' fury at Rishi Sunak after sacking Suella Braverman revealed! - Sky News https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2t5iUeAfvE You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

An attempt by the Ministry of Defence to build a dormitory that could lead to the return of US nuclear weapons to British soil is being challenged by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) because it is being attempted without planning permission. The campaign group has asked West Suffolk council to intervene and insist that the planned 144-bed facility at RAF Lakenheath be subject to an environmental impact assessment or be halted. Work on the dormitory is due to start next year and its purpose is to house the extra US personnel who would be needed to safeguard any return of B-61 air-launched nuclear bombs to Lakenheath for the first time since 2007. Kate Hudson, CND’s general secretary, accused the US air force of ploughing ahead by “purportedly relying on planning rights that assume that the development won’t have significant environmental effects”, and so ignoring the risks that storing nuclear weapons in Suffolk would entail. US nuclear weapons were stationed in the UK throughout the cold war, provoking decades of protest. Cruise missiles were deployed at Greenham Common but were removed from the Berkshire site in 1991. Air-launched gravity bombs remained at Lakenheath until 16 years ago. After three decades of partial disarmament, nuclear states have been gradually upgrading and increasing the size of their arsenals. Two years ago, the UK said it would increase its stockpile of Trident warheads by 40% to 260, while the US is updating its gravity bombs to the B61-12, which has a maximum yield of 50 kilotonnes. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/14/council-urged-to-review-plans-that-could-lead-to-uk-hosting-us-nuclear-bombs You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

Hypocrisy, double standards and a failure to understand the region. These are the charges being levelled at the West, primarily the US, by leaders of 57 Arab and Muslim countries who convened at the weekend in the Saudi capital Riyadh. How is it, foreign ministers said to me, that the West slams Russia for killing civilians in Ukraine, yet, in their words, it "gives a green light to Israel to do the same in Gaza"? In the luxurious surroundings of Riyadh's Ritz-Carlton hotel, amid giant floral bouquets and glittering chandeliers, and a world away from the shattered landscape of Gaza, princes, presidents and prime ministers met for the Joint Arab Islamic Extraordinary Summit. Blame for the war and the destruction of lives and property was heaped unilaterally on Israel and its supporters. No-one criticised Hamas for its 7 October raid into southern Israel that killed 1,200 people and saw some 240 taken hostage, triggering the massive military retaliation. Israel, said the secretary general of the Arab League, had committed criminal acts. "We warn of the disastrous repercussions of the retaliatory aggression by Israel against the Gaza Strip, which amounts to a war crime," said the final communique. "We warn of the real danger of the expansion of the war as a result of Israel's refusal to stop its aggression and of the inability of the [UN] Security Council to enforce international law to end this aggression." Few people I spoke to at the summit expected Israel to take much notice. Instead, it was clear that this summit and its intended message of unity was aimed at Israel's biggest backer - the United States. Leaders want the Biden administration and the West in general to exert sufficient pressure on Israel to stop the war altogether. But what they could not agree on was how to achieve that. The summit pulled together some strange bedfellows - an indication of just how worried the region is at events in Gaza spiralling beyond their control.

The Ministry of Justice has blamed a data error after it published figures showing that 150 suspects had been trapped in jail for more than five years while awaiting trial. The remand population is currently at its highest in at least 50 years, and is a major driver of prison overcrowding, surging from 9,600 inmates to 16,200 in just four years as the courts backlog soared. Last year, 35 per cent of self-inflicted deaths in prisons were among those on remand. But experts have long warned of a lack of available government data on the issue. Despite judges being required to approve an extension every six months, it has been unclear how long people are spending behind bars before trial – as last-minute court delays increasingly see hearings postponed for months. Against this backdrop, internal government figures, obtained via freedom of information laws by the charity Fair Trials and shared with The Independent in September, appeared to show that at least 150 male suspects – 50 of them Black – had been remanded for 60 months or more, as of 31 December. Asked about their own figures – branded “just extraordinary” and “Kafkaesque” by experts – the Ministry of Justice said at the time: “These cases involving the longest waits mainly involved complex fraud or were trials with a large number of defendants, that ordinarily take a long time to prosecute.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/remand-prison-waits-moj-data-error-b2442535.html You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

Sacking Suella Braverman means "suicide" for the Tory party and Rishi Sunak has just "thrown the election away" according to leaked WhatsApp messages between members of a grassroots Conservative organisation leaked to Sky News. Members of the Conservative Democratic Organisation (CDO), a momentum-style group created out of frustration at the ousting of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss and backed by Priti Patel, called on Tory MPs to submit letters of no confidence in Rishi Sunak after Monday's reshuffle. Conversations between CDO members on Monday reveal they believe "Sunak has committed political suicide" and "the cabinet is pretty much the exact opposite of what we voted for in 2019" while another asks "is it April Fool's day???" The CDO, whose president is Lord Peter Cruddas, aims to change the rules of the Tory party to give the membership a bigger voice in its running. Sky News has seen messages from regional WhatsApp groups where CDO members give their views on the reshuffle. Many, but not all, are Conservative members, and almost none are nationally recognisable figures so are not being named by Sky News. These views are not representative, therefore, of the whole Tory membership, but represent a slice of Conservative thinking inside and outside the party. It chimes with some Tory MPs on the right who believe the reshuffle will bolster Reform UK, the right-wing party created from the Brexit Party. https://news.sky.com/story/political-suicide-grassroots-tories-fury-at-rishi-sunak-after-sacking-suella-braverman-revealed-in-leaked-whatsapps-13008202 A Snowflakes Viewpoint Episode 29 : CABINET RESHUFFLE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W9gmElvB0o&t=1285s You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Rumble https://rumble.com/c/c-2526312 Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite
