Here is a thing that I hear from *almost every British Jew I know* but have barely heard expressed in any of these programmes: No single person has done more to make Jewish people globally less safe than Benjamin Netanyahu.

It's fascinating how there are still replies on this, and indeed on every post about the decline of the Tories, with people on the left and centre-left people going 'good'. Honestly, I don't know how big of a warning sign you need that the death of the Tory party is bad for your politics!

Nigel Farage has no idea how to be a prime minister The Reform leader undoubtedly has charisma, but lacks the judgement, gravitas or respect for truth needed to lead a country

Orwell wrote: β€œIn England all the boasting and flag-wagging... is done by a small minority. The patriotism of the common people is not vocal or even conscious.” Someone tell Reform, writes @arusbridger.bsky.social.

#Kuenssberg doesn’t challenge Badenoch on the implications leaving the #ECHR will have for the UK’s trade deal with the EU or the Good Friday Agreement. Basically gives her free rein to talk about immigration to the exclusion of all other policy areas. Farage really has managed to dictate the tone.

I hope you'll take a moment for these beautiful parting words from the incomparable Jane Goodall.

How much money has Nigel Farage and Reform UK received from Russian Banks?

Or are we not allowed to call him that?

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term.

They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship.

Are we all clear on this?

Oxygen is released into the atmosphere during photosynthesis. At night, some is consumed again by the tree. But the tree releases more oxygen than it needs itself. Deciduous forests release 15 to./year/ha of oxygen, coniferous forests up to 30 to./year/ha into the atmosphere.🌳🌲

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in infested cell and making her hold flags Activist tells Swedish officials she has been subjected to harsh treatment, including insufficient food and water

β€œThey dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others”

According to another observer, she was β€œwrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy”

This is truly chilling, and goes waaaay beyond immigration. When you have political parties saying that you don't need lawyers, courts, judges etc because the government cannot make mistakes absolutely everyone should be worrying. What starts with one group tends to expand to others.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

Naked children torn from their mothers and tossed into vans.

U.S. citizens detained for hours in zip ties.

Doors kicked in and belongings stolen or destroyed.

This is the reality of Trump’s deportation agenda.

It was always about cruelty.
