lots of people to block this morning saying "but... Israel". whatever your views are on Israel, Jews in London are Jews who could live in Israel but don't. surely if you have a problem with the existence of Israel you love and celebrate Jews living in Europe? or... not? somehow? for reasons?

You👏 cannot👏 attack👏 random👏 Jews👏 and👏 claim👏 it👏 is👏 a👏 political👏 act👏 against👏 Israel.👏 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜. JFC...why is this hard?

Don't threaten me with a good time.

Jewish News editorial in defence of Muslim prayers in Trafalgar Square "It is counterproductive to combat extremism by telling many Muslims they – alone – should not celebrate their faith in public" "Uphold religious rights for all - you'll be glad you did" www.jewishnews.co.uk/voice-of-the...

I'm not sure the US planned it's war with Iran either but it still happened.

"Is it the Bilderbergers that are running the world? There are many other theories. It could be the Masons. Some think it’s the Rothschilds. Maybe it’s George Soros. I don’t know. What I do know is actually I don’t think any of it is a conspiracy theory" - Nigel Farage

“Mohammed, five, Othman, seven, who was blind and had special needs, their mother Waad Bani Odeh, 35, and father Ali Bani Odeh, 37, were driving through their hometown of Tamoun late on Saturday when Israeli forces opened fire.” Shot in the head and face. Executed with their parents. No words.

Measles is a highly infectious disease. It can make children seriously unwell, especially young infants and those with weakened immune systems. The best way to protect your family is by ensuring you and your children are up to date with your MMRV jabs.

Wut? Between Poilievre and Badenoch, now wondering if, in Commonwealth countries, the job description includes a requirement you have to be unbelievably odd.

After a decade of this "orange man bad and dumb" is still better analysis than a large chunk of well paid commentary.

Between this and allowing the US to use British bases for strikes on Iran it looks like Starmer and Mahmood have learnt nothing from Gorton and Denton. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

There are two explanations for the Trump Admin’s Russia’s policy: 1. This admin is secretly aligned with Putin and lying about that to the world and the American people, or 2. they are incredibly naive fools who ignore overwhelming evidence that contradicts their worldview.

This is amazing

Truly horrifying. A very difficult read. [& the BBC at its best] www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Here's a story about his death www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

Reform mayor of Lincolnshire has voted to slash ESOL. A clear signal of the damage Reform intends to inflict on our communities. Demanding migrants speak English then cutting the very provision that makes that possible. www.ucu.org.uk/article/1441...

Someone let the Beeb know that the rivalry may already be political given these two countries have fought several wars since independence. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricke...

Non-apology from Ratcliffe.

OK hear me out. Maybe it's time to try chaos with Ed Milliband.

Farage welcomes Braverman to Reform by saying she was "utterly useless". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Oh my God, there is video. They had the man down on the ground, with half a dozen agents holding him down, beating him, when they shot him, multiple times. They were *holding him down and beating him.* All the charges. Everyone of those agents should be in prison. www.reddit.com/r/Minneapoli...

Man of the people latest. All of Farage’s history shows that far from “taking on the globalists” he’s a grifter who milks unsavoury parts of the global elite for all he can get

Lol.

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.

If a human was being paid to create this material, we’d rightly throw the book at them. So why should X get a free pass? Fine them to the hilt and if they won’t comply, shut it down. We wouldn’t tolerate this offline. Why online? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 2/2

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Since Aldrich Ames died, it's a chance to highlight a sub-plot that always amused me. One of the spies he betrayed but who managed to escape was Oleg Gordievsky. He alerted MI6 he was under suspicion and they activated a pre-prepared plan to smuggle him out of Russia in the boot of a car. 1/2

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

My holiday Greek didn't rise to the level of knowing κομμάτι.

Translation: 'The parts where Ukraine stops fighting were acceptable, the parts where we stop were not.'

Also recognize that this unambiguous use of the military to commit murder of helpless noncombatants as they fought for life is a direct reflection of the virulent white supremacy that has seized our government, where every Latino man is a gangbanger in a de facto state of war against White America

70% of the additional spending from removing the two-child limit will go to families who are in work. This is targeting support for low-income working households who are being priced out of a decent standard of living despite doing everything asked of them.

How many yellow and red cards can Ireland pick up in one game.

Home Office media release on new settlement rules. 5 years to settlement for family members of British citizens; BNO Hong Kong visas + public sector workers Keir Starmer's government proposes 15 year, 20 year + even 30 year settlement routes: deliberately off the charts of any precedent anywhere

On Nigel Farage's racism, of course it is possible that someone can believe one thing when they're a teenager and something completely different when they're an adult. But where is the evidence that has happened in this case? Instead all of the evidence points in the complete opposite direction

Very interesting comments over in the other place about how everyone says stuff like this at school. Well they certainly didn't at my school.

The problem I've always had with the Kindertransport was we should have let in adults. It appears Starmer's problem with it is that we didn't steal the children's teddy bears.

There were 93 homicides in London last year: population 9 million In New York - population 8.5 million - there were 391. London's homicide figure is 6 times lower than LA, 9 times lower than Miami, 17 times lower than Chicago. And it's falling year on year despite the population increasing

If anyone lost a bag of books from LRB Bookshop on the Metropolitan Line between Baker St- Watford, I handed it to a cleaner when the train terminated at Watford tube station. And if you have far more followers than me, please share this status. LRB bookshop is not cheap!

Visiting NY and saw my first Cybertruck. Have to see irl to appreciate the ugliness.

Wooooah! So the China spy case witness statement initially described China as the 'enemy'. But that word was removed before submition, because it was NOT government policy at the time. The government when this happened were the Tories. So arguably the Tories are the reason the case collapsed!

'The policy will need to be designed very carefully' 'Have you spent more than 5 minutes on it before announcing it?' 'Lol no.'

This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.

First Trump administration story in a while that genuinely shocked me:
