Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
There’s fallout to the UK’s move to announce sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Israel is closing the UK’s consulate in Jerusalem and considering other measures.
Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy look at the reaction and wonder if the new PM should also be giving attention to other matters overseas.
Elsewhere, Sam’s got a story about a big government growth initiative which, so far, hasn’t done much.
And, is the bleak economic picture making John Healey’s budget harder by the day?
