Aye

So rather than condemn the government's far right immigration policy, one that has clear Nazi overtones, @jewishnews.bsky.social and the Holocaust Education Trust is condemning those who have made such connections? Absolutely disgraceful. www.jewishnews.co.uk/polanski-and...

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly. The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are. We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box. Reject the hate. Reject them. This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I had my disagreements with the BBC under Tim Davie but he was a decent man doing a difficult job. To see Trump's White House claiming credit for his downfall and attacking the BBC should worry us all.

This post on its own would reinforce my support for Lucy Powell, were I still a member of the Labour Party.

No, that's a time day. A prime day is when you uphold law and order in Ankh Morpork.

Hero.

The greatest city in the world, the city I'm proud to call home.

Once more for the dimwits at the back: a) Lucy Connolly pleaded guilty. b) She was convicted under legislation introduced under Thatcher. c) She was sentenced under guidance brought in under Boris Johnson. d) fuck off.

This is scary. Dark times.

This is a PR stunt that lets Israel’s genocide continue. Meanwhile David Lammy won’t expel the Israeli ambassador, end all trade, implement a full arms embargo, stop surveillance flights or UK training of Israeli soldiers. Empty gestures fool no one. He belongs in The Hague.

The way that I was raised, being Jewish meant believing that every human life was sacred; to save a single human life meant saving all of humanity. That no law or ritual was more important than saving a single human life. It's unfathomable that any Jew can accept what Israel is doing in Gaza.

This is wonderful - I'm tempted to steal the idea.

Israel's war on Gaza is definitely only about ending Hamas rule and freeing the hostages. Okay? 🤡 That's why the Israeli parliament just passed, with a large coalition + opposition majority, a West Bank annexation declaration, the area where Hamas isn't in charge, and has no hostages 🤔

It's utterly mad. These people are the opposite of terrorists. THEY WANT PEACE. The police know they're not terrorists. The government knows they're not terrorists. Yet, on the Home Secretary's orders, they're being arrested under the Terrorism Act. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

Labour backbencher Imran Hussain asked a powerful question at #PMQs calling for UK sanctions on the Israeli govt, just like the UK rightly imposes on Russia over Ukraine. Incredibly disappointing response from PM. Hand-wringing only, totally ignoring calls for sanctions and arms embargo.

For most Jews, Israel was not about settler colonialism. It was supposed to be a safe homeland for a traumatised generation post-Holocaust. It was, in the Jewish consciousness, a homecoming to a land we’d been expelled from. What it’s become fills me with grief, rage & shame I can’t even articulate.

Excellent timing from the Beeb.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

The departure of Zia Yusuf from Reform UK leaves a huge hole. That’s not a very nice thing to call Nigel Farage, but I have to be honest.

An apology to Keir Starmer:

How many more people in Gaza need to be killed, injured or starved by Israel, until the Government does the right thing and brings in widespread sanctions - on arms, on trade and on the individuals responsible for this genocide?

Gary Linkeker has been consistently bold, principled and spoken the truth clearly. The fact the BBC has now placed itself in direct opposition to these values demonstrates the spiral our media is in. We urgently need reform. Solidarity, once again, to Gary. ✊🏼

UK rabbis lead campaign calling for Gaza aid and hostage release

It's a bad sign when allegedly intelligent columnists in purported liberal publications spend more energy defending Starmer's clumsy, ugly and gratuitously populist attack on immigrants than they spend defending immigrants.

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous. Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family. To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

The new Pope didn't tweet once in 2024. In 2025, he's posted 5 times, in which he: - Criticized JD Vance's views on Catholicism and Jesus - Posted an article opposing Trump's immigration policies - Retweeted twice about the Pope's health - Retweeted a criticism of Trump & Bukele's laughter at KAG.

Labour’s “Farage is right, don’t vote for him” strategy, which was so successful on Thursday, looks set to continue.

Unintended consequences (and we're probably going to see more of this sort of thing) ...

First positive result of the night!

The Board of Deputies of British Jews will be demanding a list of their names in order to give them a severe telling off.

The Board of Deputies of British Jews has suspended two senior members for signing a letter criticizing the Israeli govt for continuing the Gaza war: www.haaretz.com/jewish/2025-... Kind of seems like the purpose of this body is not to reflect the opinion of UK Jews, but draw lines around it.

After an "unprecedented" and "bespoke attack" on 36 elected Deputies, there is diminishing time for Phil Rosenberg's Board of Deputies to attempt to right this transparent marshalling, Gabriel Kanter-Webber urges. vashtimedia.com/in-the-name-...

The Board of Deputies are ok with a rogue, Kahanist Israel The Board of Deputies are ok with the destruction of Gaza The Board of Deputies are ok with leaving Israeli hostages to die in the tunnels of Gaza, in pursuit of "total victory" The Board is not OK with anyone dissenting בושה

A film that takes place where you're from.

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

Hi @octopus.energy! We know you care about the planet, so why are you helping Elon Musk fund climate deniers and fossil fuel junkies by promoting Tesla on your website? octopusev.com/cars/tesla-m... #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla #StopMusk

Where's the evidence that mental health is being "overdiagnosed"?

This never happened, but whoever made this video channeled millions of us watching yesterday's disgraceful display in the People’s House.

The richest man in the world has parasitically imposed himself on the federal government to insist that all employees generate content for his language-processing machine, conscripted the administrative state as monkeys at typewriters, all under penalty of dismissal should they refuse.

Looool

i do not know how to make it any clearer to american jewry that the state of israel is more than happy to feed us into the gas chambers if it means they never have to say sorry for genociding palestinians

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

If we are living through a new version of the 1930s (and it really increasingly does feel like we are), then Ukraine is our generation's Spain

If you want to win an election against far right opposition you need to bring together two groups. The activated liberals outraged by the other side and the more moderate groups who want govt to make their lives less difficult. Not by trying to win the enthusiastic supporters of the other side.

🧵 Last night, Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall suggested some people are "taking the mickey" by claiming benefits instead of working. Given many on disability benefits have mental health problems, comments like this trivialise the realities of mental illness. It’s deeply disheartening. 1/5
