Keir Starmer’s Labour Party is not popular. He may have won an election but he did it with fewer votes than his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn won in either 2017 or 2019, because he was lucky enough to be challenging a deeply unpopular government. And now we see that he has presided over a vertiginous drop in […]

GMO condemned the ongoing closure of the crossing as a “crime” and an “obvious legal violation of the international law, the international humanitarian law and all international conventions.”
GMO accused the Israeli occupation of preventing the entry of all sorts of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, including vital medical needs, which seriously worsened the health and humanitarian situation.
GMO also accused the Israeli occupation of seeking to destroy Gaza’s health system in its entirety and using the starvation policy as a tool for political pressure.

BILLIONAIRE LYNCH
Lynch, 59, made his name as the founder and longtime leader of Autonomy, a search engine and software company that helped companies manage information. Hewlett-Packard bought Autonomy for $11 billion in 2011
UK Tech Mogul Lynch Beats HP Fraud Case in Stunning US Loss – Yahoo Finance on 7, 2024(Bloomberg) — In a staggering loss for US prosecutors, a jury found UK tech tycoon Mike Lynch not guilty of all criminal charges that he pulled off Silicon Valley’s biggest-ever fraud scam 13 years ago. In the months leading up to the 11bn deal the sale to HP Autonomy was valued at at $46 billion but a year later it was worth just 2.2bn
According to the Italian Coast Guard, the vessel was hit by a waterspout – a type of tornado that forms over water — in the early hours of Monday morning. So far, one man, understood to be the ship’s chef, has been confirmed dead.
Fifteen people have been rescued, including Lynch’s wife Angela Bacares, who owns the yacht, and a one-year-old girl who was saved by her mother.
Eight of those rescued, including the child, have been transferred to hospitals and are in stable condition, according to The Guardian. Domenico Cipolla, the chief physician at one of the hospitals, told the outlet that most of the survivors had said they worked for Lynch.
“They are deeply traumatized. As time passes, they realize more and more that this morning they lost many friends,” Cipolla said.
The Coast Guard has reported that the missing include British, American and Canadian nationals. New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also confirmed that two of its nationals were on board the yacht, with one confirmed to have survived..
Lynch, a multimillionaire known for co-founding the software development company Autonomy in 1996, has occasionally been described as the ‘British Bill Gates.’ However, throughout most of the past decade, the 59-year-old has been caught up in court battles over fraud allegations related to the sale of his firm to US tech company Hewlett-Packard. In June, he was acquitted by a jury in San Francisco after spending more than a year living under house arrest.
Coincidently, mere hours after news of the accident in Sicily, it was reported that Lynch’s co-defendant in the trial and former vice president of finance at Autonomy, Stephen Chamberlain, was killed after being fatally struck by a car while jogging in the county of Cambridgeshire, UK, on Saturday.
