She must have lost the memo that tells them not to forget to add "Judeo-" before Christian. Oops!

i wonder what it is specifically about khan trump doesn't like? it's a puzzle alright

You have to admire their commitment to Tankie Judean People's Front stereotypes. 10/10, no notes.

The late great Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks z"l on Jewish identity. Wow. Just wow.

Don't take any chances. Sink the fucker before The Thing That Nobody Expects jumps out and burns me at the stake!

1. That's not how you spell 'backpedal' 2. For fuck's sake Bibi, just say that you're happy to make Israel the Millwall of nations. 3. The sooner you and your settler nutter mates are gone, the better for everyone.

I love London so much. So much. Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world? Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

The key fact that the racist right really hates: multiculturalism works

Exquisitely and painfully put.

Perfect.

In London, hate will never win.

Can't we agree to reserve 'defect' for the act of a sitting MP and refer to cases like Caulfield as 'changes direct debit'?

This really shouldn't even need saying, let alone agitating for. It is a truism more than a proposition.

It’s Battle of Britain day. Lest we forget who actually fought to keep us safe from the Nazis. Don’t let it get co-opted by the fascist’s descendants

Who better to represent the interests of the working man than Danny Kruger, he being an old Etonian son of a wealthy property developer & Dame Prue Leith, as well as having been political secretary to old Etonian Boris Johnson. He’ll smash the metropolitan elite in no time.

"Had enough of politicians" - there it is, the mendacious nihilism at the heart of Reform's message.

I regret to report that Jeremy Vine is being every bit as disappointingly sympathetic towards Saturday's Fascist parade through central London as I expected him to be.

Free Speech latest...

If you’re linked to me on Facebook today, a word to the wise - I’ve been exchanging views on Kirk after his murder, and people who really ought to know better are making me fucking furious.

You guys put podcast hosts in charge of the FBI and fired all the competent agents because you thought they were woke.

I don’t condone violence in any form but please spare me any sanctimonious opinions on the Charlie Kirk murder. Yes it’s wrong he was murdered but that doesn’t change my utter contempt for the path he chose. Some more examples of the path he plowed.

This is nuts. He’s not a statesman. They don’t make a statement every time a civilian is murdered in a foreign country. They’re commenting because he was an ultra right wing bigot and they’re scrambling to look like they condone that

Copy & paste this whenever MAGA twists your words today: “I condemn violence. I also condemn hate. Charlie Kirk built a career on it, but no one deserves to be shot. Gun violence has no place here and twisting the truth is part of the problem. Let’s have a real talk, please.”

As an atheist, I have no prayers, but plenty of thoughts.

You, a normal person: Any phrase which includes "I/we call it x" Me, who watched far too many Carry On films in my youth: "You call it what you like doctor, I know what I call it!"

This is such positive, powerful, direct communication. The fact that this seems so remarkable and so rare speaks volumes about our failure to stand up to the fossil fuel lobby.

One can but hope

E. Jean Carroll wins the appeal. Sorry not sorry D boy. You're still an adjudicated sexual abuser and slanderer. open.substack.com/pub/politicu...

Couldn’t have said it better myself…

I had no idea that state pension, NHS and education are classed as 'benefits' by ONS. Excellent explantion by @monkemma.bsky.social

Made the mistake of looking at what some of Mrs B's friends are saying about our new Home Secretary. I thought this kind of racism was pretty much limited to our parents' generation. Sadly not.

Being a synagogue warden (which I am now - ooh get me) has it's ups and downs, but one thing I do each week is check through the Torah reading, And this weekend, it includes a doozy of a verse - Deuteronomy 25:11 (and 12). Look it up. You're welcome.

Another great @ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social pod this week but got a bit emotional when @dorianlynskey.bsky.social announces that he's moving on from the pod (but was lovely to hear that list of wonderful OGWN alumni from him!) Thanks for everything Dorian - there's still Origin Story!

On the same day in the Telegraph:

Teachers are so often a glue that holds society together.

This, from every Jewish mother who wants to motivate their son. "And you should also consider me to be a virgin!"

The biggest tit of them all.

He's 28 until he turns 29

How did we miss this? They like roundabouts because to use them you have to give way to the right 🤦🏾

Once again, @iandunt.bsky.social nails it. Scream this from the fucking rooftops. Paint this on every fucking mini-roundabout. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

I endorse this message. Well said @markfergusonmp.bsky.social on why the fabric of the flag should be something to unite, not divide

⬇️⬇️⬇️ This. This a thousand times over. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

100% this. also the next sentence "Sometimes, these things are not complicated. Paying despots to take a bunch of refugees who fled them in the first place is wrong. And the refusal of my government – or much of the media – to say so disgusts me."

Never mind AI, I mean fuck that shit, but also bold and italic etc? Notepad is meant to be a TEXT editor. Every day we stray further from God's light.

"But not if they're our closest trading neighbours, obviously."

Any mention of the Battle of Manzikert reminds me of the brief but effective account of it (as witnessed by a confused Anglo-Saxon survivor of Hastings) given in Julian Rathbone's The Last English King: "The ones with turbans round their helmets won."

The ever-eloquent @rafaelbehr.bsky.social pointedly refusing to mince his words on what Farage has done for us. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ignorant arsehole.
