Ominous official silence over British foreign policy
Gaza remains the key political issue in the world today and needs to be openly discussed as part of the coming election campaign, writes DIANE ABBOTT

THE election campaign is well under way. But from the coverage and the speeches it would be hard to know that this country is at war on three fronts, in Gaza, Ukraine and Yemen.
International events have not featured at all in the political debate.
