" This week, the UN secretary general was plastered over front pages for what the Telegraph called a “defence of Hamas” and the Mail deemed an “attack” on Israel. This followed a short speech in which António Guterres began by condemning “unequivocally the horrifying and unprecedented acts of terror by Hamas” and calling for the immediate release of Israeli hostages before setting the atrocities of 7 October in a longer history.
Before that, the i paper depicted a huge march against war in Gaza as “actively championing a proscribed terrorist organisation”. (After an outcry, the offensiveness was toned down.) When a separate, small gathering by Hizb ut-Tahrir chanted for “jihad”, it was leapt upon by Suella Braverman as hate speech – an area of expertise for the home secretary, since she produces so much of it.
The Telegraph dutifully provided a rant about “imported” extremists holed up in “Londonistan” in order “to plot Britain’s destruction”. Any more dog whistling and the whole newsroom could have moved to Crufts."

Peter Bone's six week suspension was approved by the Commons yesterday, which means a recall petition will now proceed.

Well yes, at least Pincher (at last) did the decent thing and resigned once his punishment was confirmed.

Bit of a nothingburger tbh, happens all the time. And was a lot easier to get away with before recent plagiarism detecting engines were developed.
(and German politicians PhDs - it is considered an advantage there to have one if you are running for office - are almost routinely plagiarised)
Thought you had come on here to post about Crispin Blunt tbh, or is that sort of thing not news anymore

I'd be saying it's a colossal fuckup whoever did it.

'Very serious plagiarism scandal' seems a bit OTT tho. It's only a book.
