Opinion | When a Terrorist Comes to Your Hometown (Published 2018)

Well, I'm biased because she's my friend. But this week I went back to reread her piece after the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, it's excellent.

I've been commissioned and edited by her a few times. I would say that she's actually a pretty good commissioning editor.

I wrote a column for @jewishnews.bsky.social on the shattering of Anglo-Jewish innocence. And what may come next.

Starmer and his grown-ups can’t just invent a bold identity The prime minister once described his pragmatism with pride. Now the absence of clear vision is becoming existential

Keir Starmer's lack of "vision" and "narrative" has become a cliche at this point. But this isn't just a PR problem. It has a real cost - in muddled hiring decisions and Whitehall not knowing what is it the PM actually wants to do.

For today's @thetimes.com read, I spoke to Labour MPs ahead of a seismic autumn for Starmer. The mood is ... existential

'It’s been a bizarrely quiet summer'

'I’m staggered by the lack of direction'

'It can’t carry on at this pace. It’s not sustainable'

Think it was me who said this? Take your point on distinguishing between Farage and the online right, but I wasn't just referring to immigration. He's picked up a lot of momentum and attracted a lot of coversage on many different fronts

β€˜An existential crisis’: can universities survive ChatGPT? Students are using AI to cheat and professors are struggling to keep up. If an AI can do all the research and writing, what is the point of a degree?

Is ChatGPT destroying the university degree as we know it? Or can it be harnessed for good?
