DAILY BLOG REVIEW / by Douglas Johnson

James Hooper - deconstructs the Pro-Life.

Splintered Sunrise - on Unionism’s strange affinity with invaders.

The Daily (Maybe) - Israel has effectively banned Arab MPs from sitting in the Knesset. Even those who think Israel should exist. Hamas must be pleased.
