The media is just on a perpetual mission to make the public feel depressed.
It is the second day of the Labour Party conference, which is being held in Liverpool.
Sky's @BethRigby explains why Labour's 'Hope Again' message could be hard to sell when set against a potential terror threat on UK soil.

Most decent Jews, Muslims, Christians, Arabs, non-Arabs just want the same thing.
Equality, human rights, decent homes and jobs, and most importantly - security of life.
Hatemongers want the opposite.
Line up of Arab ambassadors and UK ministers after Arab Council event. There was indeed an upbeat mood in all speeches. Recognition for all that the only solution in the ME is a two state one. Good to see not insignificant turn out of Jewish communal leaders and indeed Israelis in the room, openly engaging in conversation as well.
The government is reflecting the views of the public here. 🇬🇧
Polling shows 50% of Britons think Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
55% oppose Israel's war of aggression.
55% also believe Britain should no longer consider Israel as an ally.
'We don't supply bombs and bullets to Israel that contribute to the occupation.'
Foreign Secretary @Ed_Miliband opposes 'grannies and vicars' from Palestine Action being labelled as 'terrorists'.
All the usual stuff about people paying into the state pension all their lives.
Not true. The state pension is a pay as you go system.
Today's workers are paying for the triple lock - pensioners did not pay into a state pension pot in the past. (Private pensions are paid into)
🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham is set to signal the end of the state pension triple lock in his conference speech tomorrow

Public services should work for people, not profit!
I spoke at Labour Party Conference, making the case for insourcing and public ownership.
In Redbridge, we’ve seen what this can mean in practice after our Labour Council brought bin collections back under public control.

Today’s speech was a powerful recognition of all those who have spoken out on the suffering in the occupied Palestinian territory, where the Foreign Secretary’s change of approach has already led to stronger action to protect children.
This must be the beginning and not the end. It was encouraging to hear that the world’s largest humanitarian crisis in Sudan will be a priority.
The UK Government must continue doing more of what is right for children around the world and around the corner.
Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband: 'I want to say to the millions of people in this country and indeed elsewhere, who have been moved and outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people. We hear you. You were right'

Horrifying. Now we know why Netanyahu continues to ban international media from Gaza.

Israel struggles after facing opponent that isn’t an unarmed 6-year-old.

World leaders somehow seem more excited to meet the Mayor of New York City than the President of the United States.
Zohran Mamdani really turned NYC Mayor into a global job.

The radicalisation of old people by the media is something we don't discuss enough...
Watch how a young Scottish woman named Courtney handles an older passenger going from saying “go back to your own country,” to claiming she's proud to be racist, to completely backtracking with compliments once she realises she has no audience left.
A masterclass in holding people accountable for their behavior.

It’s great to hear that the government will strengthen the ability of councils to take over long-term empty homes.
While London has the lowest proportion of empty homes of any English region, it’s right that we use all the levers we can to bring them back into use.

Eleven days before the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack, Egypt's intelligence chief made a secret mission to Israel to warn officials of a possible assault. He was on the ground just 67 minutes, so intent he had to come in person. @vmsalama has the receipts. theatlantic.com/national-sec…

Haaretz reveals Israel to postpone the E1 bidding deadline. Would not have happened but for Ed Miliband's principled, astutely managed ban on trade with the settlements. Embarassing for those who dismissed Miliband's decision as performative:

This isn't just a law problem - it's also a cultural problem in our country.
People are constantly opposed to building anything.
Try building some new homes. Or a school. Or a hospital. Or even a phone mast.
The entire process is just riddled with people opposing & complaining
Britain's first reservoir for 30 years has been delayed another five years.
Now, Heathrow 3rd runway delayed until 2039
Why? The regulatory purgatory that imprisons UK growth - and will imprison Burnham unless he reforms.
