Totts<p>Tomorrow (4 June) <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Corbyn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Corbyn</span></a> has secured a Ten-Minute Rule Bill calling for an “independent public inquiry” into the UK’s “military, economic, or political cooperation with <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> since October 2023”. Corbyn will address the Commons – straight after <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/PMQs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PMQs</span></a>. It should be worth watching.Whilst it is understood he will be calling for a public inquiry and whilst recognising the time, the cost, the utility of that JC's goal may just be holding <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/CardboardBoy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CardboardBoy</span></a>'s feet to the fire and that may be watchable</p>
