Tomorrow's front page of @ScotNational. We publish a timeline of a year of Israel's bombardment of Gaza. It's all here in black and white - the war crimes, murdered journalists, flattened hospitals, orphaned children. 7567 words, 42,000 deaths. Don't look away.

EXCL: Campaigners call for Jimmy Carr's Scottish gigs to be cancelled after he hosted a secret party for the Israeli embassy. It was attended by the likes of the Israeli ambassador, who opposes the existence of a Palestinian state.

Three pictures which won't age well. There's diplomacy, then there's cowardice. We know which this is.

I'm here outside the Tory hustings. This is Brian, he is 60 years old and this is his first EVER protest. He tells me he's sick of shouting at the TV and here's come to shout here instead.

NEW: The SNP have launched a motion demanding Starmer strip Peter Mandelson of his Labour peerage with immediate effect. Despite his sacking, Mandelson remains a Lord - and thus is still on the public payroll

Powerful interview with surgeon Nizam Mamode in the Sunday National today, who has been in Gaza experiencing the devastation. “If Keir Starmer doesn't want to use the word genocide, I would suggest he considers handing back his law degree,” he told us.

I was in Gaza. Keir Starmer should give up his law degree if he denies the genocide

Never seen Stephen Flynn speak like this. He is justifiably furious. What a mess Lindsay Hoyle has made, all for the sake of Keir Starmer avoiding a rebellion and two words: Collective punishment. Shameful.

🚨 BREAKING: Stephen Flynn angrily eviscerates Speaker Lindsay Hoyle, who is absent as MPs debate his move to accept Labour's Gaza motion. “Where on earth is the Speaker of the Commons and how can we bring him to this House?”

🚨Horrified to find that David Lammy branded our story on his government's arms sales to Israel "clickbait" in the Commons. Our story is based on the UK Government's own figures, published on Thursday.

How does David Lammy sleep at night? Calling out his complicity in genocide is not “clickbait”. It’s the truth.

The BBC has an entire live blog this morning dedicated to verifying coverage of the Israeli hospital damaged in an Iranian strike. Israel systematically destroyed Gaza's healthcare system. 94% of hospitals damaged or destroyed (WHO stats). Sorry but where were their live blogs?
