Hamas and Israel won’t listen to us
❑ It was OPPOSITION DAY in the House of Commons and the SNP’s turn to set the agenda wanting the Commons to vote an immediate cease fire in Gaza. The Tory government put through an amendment so did Labour. Opposition parties rarely get to amend OTHER opposition parties propositions. Sir Lindsay accepted both breaking with tradition. Meltdown saw the Tories /SNP walk out leaving only the Labour amendment standing. Sir Lyndsey apologised. It all adds to the calls for a ceasefire. BUT ultimately neither Hamas nor Israel will pay it any attention. Chicanery and electioneering. Brian Linford Pontefract
❑ Norwegian Refugee Council, (NRC) the Pallastinians are being used by Hamas, not only as shields but to harbour weapons for immediate use anywhere, the Hamas do not want a ceasefire as not only backed by Iran & supplied with weapons, you do not call for Hamas to call a ceasefire or to handover hostages, you have double standards, do you not see the illegal offensive signs from the river to the sea, which means annihilate the Jews & create another holocaust, they steal millions of dollars, shekles, euros & food & supplies & medical equipment, you want a ceasefire, tell that to Hamas to lay down thier arms.

❑ More than 60 MPs have now signed a no confidence motion against the Speaker Lindsay Hoyle, after Wednesday’s chaotic scenes in the Commons, where the Speaker practically allowed Labour to take over a motion put forward by the SNP regarding a ceasefire in the Middle East. The UK’s political system is broken, and we need a fresh start. Dave Pinfold, Stockport
❑ It was disappointing to see Sir Lindsay Hoyle being harangued by a barely coherent Penny Mordaunt. It strikes me that Mordaunt and her Tory chums should stop bellyaching and start preparing for Opposition. Alan Quay
❑ I read today in daily star the pub trade as if we did not know already in trouble. With camra nik antona asking for help. Here’s a thing mr chancellor help the pub trade and not subsidise your cronies in the House of Commons with alcohol and the food you all are entitled to. Get your noses out the trough and help the genuine British trades. Bazza 180
❑ Bank of England governor just said the recession may already b over, their are distinct signs off a upturn lovely interest rate cut then as we’ve been promised gold it goes on to say nevertheless the bank signalled that there was unlikely to b a imminent interest rate cut. Greedy waste of space banks – we bailed them out off their bad management and this is what their think off the great British people. EASTLONDONSPURS

❑ hi in response to your haunted rivers article, back in the 60s a coach carrying nurses crashed over the side of rownham hill towards clifton suspension bridge on the leigh woods side of the avon gorge near bristol, killing some of them. In the nearby burwalls cave where i go once a year their spirits haunt the cave and woods on some nights, i have felt them even before i knew about the accident. andy the witchyman corsham wilts
