Board suspends five Deputies over Israel letter, warns another 31 - Jewish News The decision comes two months after 36 Deputies signed a letter published in the Financial Times vocally criticising the Israeli government

Think progressive Judaism should threaten disaffiliation from BoD over this - we shouldn't legitimise an organisation that suspends our representatives for expressing a mainstream British Jewish view of Israel.

A biblical hatred is engulfing both sides in the Gaza conflict โ€“ and blinding them to reason | Jonathan Freedland Israel starving Palestinians, two killings at a Jewish museum: both are atrocities. But vanishingly few can see it, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours.

Balancing the books on the back of some of the most ill and disabled people in the country is cruel and callous. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m supporting campaigners saying these cuts must not go ahead - and the government must think again.

It's a tragic thing to know that because I'm an Israeli Jew, if someone randomly slaughtered me on the street of America, a great deal of people would call my murderer a hero.

Overnight, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator warned that genocide is possible in Gaza.
YouTube video by Adrian Ramsay MP Overnight, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator warned that genocide is possible in Gaza.

Overnight, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator warned that genocide is possible in Gaza. I asked an urgent question Does this Govt stand by its duty to prevent under the Genocide Convention, and will it act to uphold humanitarian law?

Or just say โ€œwe did all we could.โ€

Reform win by exciting their base and driving turnout.

Once again, progressive politicians think that in order to defeat Reform you need to pander to Reform voters.

No. You need to excite *your own* base.

Stop the new austerity. Fix the economy. Rejoin the EU.

Ian Dale has just selected my q about Badenochโ€™s quote on his cross-question panel. Muslim panellist called Meloni an established Islamophobe and was amazed at Badenochโ€™s quote

So on LBC Kemi Badenoch has just named Georgia Meloni as her favourite foreign political leader โ€ฆ and doubled down by noting their closeness on policy across the board. A former activist in a neofascist organisation.
So there you have itโ€ฆ
