Sickening to watch BBC News spin-doctoring Britain's culpability and complicity for Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Political editor Chris Mason talks of the UK's growing realisation of its "limited agency" over Israel, while conversely international editor Jeremy Bowen says we are seeing from the government the first demands for "accountability" from Israel.

Neither analysis is true. The British government can do lots to hold Israel to account but is doing none of it, apart from offering empty rhetoric that is greeted with a chorus of nodding heads and mock-frowns in parliament.

The UK can stop arms sales to Israel, stop transfers from its RAF base on Cyprus of US and German weapons to Israel, stop UK spy slights over Gaza to provide Israel with intelligence, tear up trade agreements, impose economic sanctions, ban Israel from cultural and sporting events, and much, much more.

And these two big BBC editors both fail to give expression to what is at the forefront of every viewer's mind: How has it taken 19 months of Israel slaughtering and starving Gaza's children, live-streamed to our homes, for the UK government only now to notice the horror and begin talking about accountability?
