>> Seven MPs and six members of the House of Lords have signed the letter to Keir Starmer urging him to defy the Israeli government and give formal recognition to Palestine in advance of key UN talks next month.

>> The letter... written in late March soon after Israel broke its peace agreement with Hamas...

>> “Recognising Palestine would affirm our nation’s commitment to upholding the principles of justice, self-determination and equal rights..."

>> “This is an opportunity for Britain to show leadership, to be on the right side of history and to uphold the principles we claim to champion...”

>> The prime minister is understood not to have replied.

UK surely has been "in discussion with France and Saudi Arabia over the recognition of a Palestinian state"...
