The deafening silence from the UK's "official" Jewish institutions on Nigel Farrage's antisemitism demonstrates how morally bankrupt they are. So far the Board of Deputies, JLC, chief rabbi and CST have yet to say one word. Pathetic doesn't begin to capture it.

JONATHAN FREEDLAND: Why Britain’s Jewish leaders are silent on Farage’s schoolyard antisemitism
While the Reform UK leader and his allies smear accusers as liars, the Board, JLC and HET remain mute, fearing the wrath of a rising politician

Born on this day in 1593, in Haarlem, Willem Claesz. Heda. Painter of things on tables. Sometimes, as here in 1635, tipped, cracked, & broken. Also master of the well-peeled lemon.

Innocent people end up in our criminal courts.

Completely, terrifyingly innocent.

And all that stands between them and losing everything is a fair trial.

Politicians would do well to remember this when they tell us that justice is all about processing “criminals” swiftly.

I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future.

Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

As Campsfield detention centre reopens tomorrow in #Oxfordshire, many of us feel heavy-hearted.

But for all who may be detained there, we will keep going — and strengthen our efforts to #CloseCampsfield and #EndDetention.

Join the protests: 4pm Campsfield • 6pm Carfax

At the end of my last tour I did an online version of the show on Zoom for people who couldn’t make it to the live shows. Would that be something people are interested in this time? It was fun and I’d be up for doing it again if there is demand… let me know!

Since 2011 the fuel duty freeze has cost the Treasury £133 billion.

This huge amount could have paid for lower train and bus fares, better stations, safer walking, wheeling and cycling and much more!

I've mentioned this quietly, but - since the summer my hobby has been making this ambitious murder mystery podcast. A story. Narrated by me, with a mouthwatering cast. Partly interactive. Trailer is coming tomorrow but if you like the sound of this, please follow @murderbastard.bsky.social.

Along with everyone else, I am shocked by the horrendous dumping of tonnes of illegal waste by criminals that now threatens to pollute the River Cherwell.

⏰ Time is ticking. Please sign this petition to let the Government and Environment Agency know they need to act now and clean it up.

Twenty-two years ago today Section 28 was repealed.

But we're seeing history repeat itself as some in the media and in politics spread bigotry and misinformation about trans people.

This from @stephenkb.bsky.social cuts to the heart of the matter. Does the government not understand how toxic this argument is? Do they think they can somehow weaponise it? The last governments at least had the merit not of making this kind of foul claim.
