Israel breaches ceasefire, 'Sewage Steve' + private jet taxes

from The National Podcast · host laurawebsterp

As Israel killed over 100 overnight in Gaza, our journalists discuss how this could possibly be called a ceasefire. A new story lists the MPs who've taken trips to Israel in the past two years - and we analyse the influence of 'Friends of Israel' groups on foreign policy in Westminster. After the protest over the Disturbed gig in Glasgow, we unpack David Draiman's attack on Scottish Palestine activists. Meanwhile, Steve Reed is in trouble over his embarrassing false claims about Scottish water pollution, and Oxfam pushes the Scottish Government to bring in a private jet tax. With Editor Laura Webster, Content Editor Xander Elliards and Multimedia Reporter Laura Pollock.  Support us with a subscription here: https://www.thenational.scot/subscribe/
