This is welcome news for the chancellor, but these figures will be little for consolation for people who are still being squeezed by the cost of living crisis.

Lots on the political and massive diplomatic impact of the UK ban on settlement trade. Less about what’s actually happening&what’s left out
Here’s an explanation on what’s going on, as best we know.
Some departure from previous government statements.

Settlement produce is entering the UK labelled as from Israel either by being mixed with Israeli goods, by using a settlement postcode but erroneously saying the country is Israel, or by using a "sham" proxy address within Israel, according to the Global Echo Litigation Center
HMRC threatened with legal action over Israeli settlement trade

#PostOfficeScandal Latest by @taaffems for @SkyNews
A Scandal within a scandal. How many times have we heard that before with this @PostOffice scandal? The @DWP prosecutions showed the exact same patterns as the Post Office ones, investigators didn’t properly investigate, they had confirmation bias and refused to look at all possibilities including evidence that pointed away from the suspects.
The continuous delay in appointing a reviewer is unexcusable. It seems a deliberate attempt to delay justice being delivered for a large number of victims. We have already sadly lost so many along the way and we could lose more whilst these delays continue. Even after a reviewer is announced the review will likely take many months and we must push for the terms of reference to be expanded as right now they are wholly inadequate

📮 A reminder that not all Post Office convictions are quashed
📩 Roughly 100 prosecutions brought against PO workers by the Dept for Work & Pensions still stand
🆕 A year after a review of prosecutions was announced, no review has begun and no reviewer has been appointed

ICYMI - the UK government is trying to ban Israeli settlement exports and imports.
Having said it was reviewing all options, it's now endorsed a ban on goods and services flowing to and from the outposts (making it more comprehensive than what Ireland worked on for 8 years)
The UK government is working on a ban on imports and exports to illegal Israeli settlements, the trade minister confirmed on Wednesday morning

The UK considered pausing its trade agreement with Israel, having undertaken an impact assessment on suspension last summer

If you'd asked, like an MP did, about the UK pausing its trade agreement with Israel, you'd get a vague answer. But Sky can reveal that government considered suspending the countries' trade and partnership agreement in response to Israeli government actions in Gaza and West Bank
