When Hamas launched its invasion of Israel, the UK government responded by affirming their support for Israel. But in the past few days, that support has apparently waned with David Cameron tweeting for a sustainable ceasefire. In this video, we're going to look at the Tory party's historic support for Israel, Sunak's response to October 7th attacks, and whether the government's support for Israel is waning.

In 1965, Britain quietly created its last colony - the British Indian Ocean Territory - a handful of islands in the Indian Ocean which were previously under the administration of Mauritius. In the 80s, Mauritius started trying to reassert its sovereignty over the islands, and while the government seemed to be keen initially, that seem to have changed. In this video, we take a look at the islands, why the UK owns them, and why the government decided to U-turn.
