Channel 4 has caught up with Vennells, believed to be the first time she's been seen in public for some time.

She's less than helpful...

Well not too slowly. It's due on the 26th, is it?

If you haven't sent off your email to TfL, I realise what confused me about the beginning of your latest message and the dates. You would normally start a letter by referring to his email to you.

'With reference to my latest email dated 26/03/24.'

You could start it 'With reference to my email of 26th March 2024 and your reply of 3rd April.'

HB

I hope others will comment on your letter, I'm wondering about the part where you mention your exams. They could say that you can resit exams or also that this is self-inflicted.

Normally people talk about the effect on their job prospects and future career.

Just a thought.

HB

Have you heard from TfL since your email of 26th March?

HB

So you need to do what LFI said and tell them not to use email any more. We've seen this cause trouble before.

HB

We don't recommend emailing PPCs. They can use it to send documents at the 11th hour when it's too late for you to consider them, we've seen it. Use snail mail for them, email is fine for the court.

What kind of idiot does this?

Honestly, what was Wragg thinking? And when he was the chair of a parliamentary committee.

Also, what were the MPs who sent intimate photos of themselves to people they didn't know thinking? Makes you wonder about the quality of our MPs.

Hi.

Thank you for the court claim information.

Could you also let us have the details we ask for in the other forum sticky please? It will add extra information that will help us.

One or more were from Second Sight, weren't they? I'm not sure about the others.

If true this is a very worrying development.

In an unprecedented move, according to two of the sources, the army also decided during the first weeks of the war that, for every junior Hamas operative that Lavender marked, it was permissible to kill up to 15 or 20 civilians; in the past, the military did not authorize any “collateral damage” during assassinations of low-ranking militants. The sources added that, in the event that the target was a senior Hamas official with the rank of battalion or brigade commander, the army on several occasions authorized the killing of more than 100 civilians in the assassination of a single commander....

For example, sources explained that the Lavender machine sometimes mistakenly flagged individuals who had communication patterns similar to known Hamas or PIJ operatives — including police and civil defense workers, militants’ relatives, residents who happened to have a name and nickname identical to that of an operative, and Gazans who used a device that once belonged to a Hamas operative....

“There was a completely permissive policy regarding the casualties of [bombing] operations — so permissive that in my opinion it had an element of revenge,” D., an intelligence source, claimed. “The core of this was the assassinations of senior [Hamas and PIJ commanders] for whom they were willing to kill hundreds of civilians. We had a calculation: how many for a brigade commander, how many for a battalion commander, and so on.”

I think Dan Neidle is looking at specific aspects of the case, UB. Other people are also trying hard, ITV News and Nick Wallis are working on it and Channel4 has shown a recording or two.

I was quite surprised too about there being recordings but it's a good thing they've come out now.

Dan Neidle has a new X thread on POL, the compensation schemes and cover-ups. It doesn't look good for POL.

EDITOR'S NOTE: A reliable source informs me Rishi's wife Akshata Murty has been telling Sajid Javid's wife Laura that she wants an election now so they can move to California immediately.

If true, just resign NOW @RishiSunak and give us a Conservative leader who cares longterm!

Thread reopened.

Israel has kicked out Al-Jazeera and has brought in a law banning foreign journos. This could be a step towards a news blackout. Journos are worried.

That's great news, well done for persevering. I should think you're happy?

That sounds awful, TJ.

If they'll do that to their own party members, what will they do to the rest of us whose information they have access to?

Would you say Hamas are more of a threat than Russia, TOR?
