The former business secretary Kemi Badenoch and the former immigration minister, Robert Jenrick are the bookies’ favourites – pause a moment to let that sink in...Tom Tuggendhottenhat, the most obvious choice of the One Nation wing, is close behind James Cleverly. Most MPs expect Pritti Vac^nt and Mel Stride to be the candidates who fall when MPs whittle the candidates down to four before the party’s conference.
If they imagine either Badenoch or Jenrick have any potential to become PM then Labour can look forward to five more years - unless, of course, they expect the far-right to enjoy a resurgence in the UK as it is in Germany.

While they're at the Conference maybe they can explain this 'world of opportunity beyond the EU' that was closed to the UK before Brexit and now, unleashed from Brussels, we are free to trade globally, while winning better conditions for trading in Europe...
According to the UN’s Comtrade database, in 2023 Germany exported $105.95bn (£80bn) in goods and services to China; in the same period, the UK’s exports to China were $34.29bn. The figures for India in 2023 are $12.87bn for the UK and $17.97bn for Germany. Exports by Germany to Peru, a CPTPP member state, were $1.19bn, with the UK recording $263.69m. Germany, despite, and more probably because of its EU membership, has no difficulty in achieving large export figures in key global markets.
Why this is, i wonder? - perhaps they just know what they're doing.

While Bibi has a tantrum over Labour's decision to withold a small percentage of components used in Israel's armed occupation of Gaza - only 30 out of 350 components are sanctioned in the 1% of total sales - it's revealed in the Guardian that...David Cameron, the former foreign secretary, sat on advice from Foreign Office officials in Israel and London that there was clear evidence of breaches of international humanitarian law in Gaza for which the UK risked being complicit, a former Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) adviser said: “The advice being sent through to the Foreign Office was clear that the breaches of IHL by Israel as the occupying power were so obvious that there was a danger of UK complicity if the licences were not withdrawn.”
Italy, Spain, Canada, Belguim and the Netherlands have all sanctioned arms sales to Israel, although the UK will not withold components for F-35 fighter jets.

I think if you look they are not the only ones
Dutch court rejects NGOs' demand for further ban on F-35 exports used in Israeli jets
The case follows a February district court ruling ordering the Netherlands to withhold sending Israel F-35 components over concerns the aircraft might be used to break international humanitarian law in Gaza.
