“Jonathan received a cease and desist letter from my lawyer, which he took as a bit of comedy and indicated that he wouldn’t and couldn’t hurt a fly. At the time, as my health had turned me into something less powerful than a fly, this wasn’t very reassuring”

Spoiler alert: the people who use antisemitism as a political tool don't actually care about the well being of Jews anywhere

Politics can be complex, but every so often it’s pretty easy to tell which side of history you’re on. For example, if you require the police to arrest elderly ladies for peacefully protesting against genocide, that’ll probably be the wrong side.

Thank goodness everyone agrees we should crack down on tube fare dodgers. That'll stop them avoiding taxes, crashing the economy, dismantling the NHS, polluting our water, pocketing huge bonuses, making billions from dodgy government contracts, and buying yachts. About time.

In January the Metropolitan Police, backed by Yvette Cooper, ratcheted up heavy handed policing of pro-Palestinian protest on the specious grounds that it was protecting Jews. Since then the Jewish Bloc has been attempting to meet the Met to explain how wrong that policy is

Thank goodness the government will prevent foreigners from trying to come and work in our care homes. That'll stop them dodging taxes, selling off the NHS, polluting our water, pocketing huge bonuses, making billions from dodgy government contracts, and buying yachts. About time.

LISTEN UP 📣📣 The UK government is slashing welfare payments by £5 billion while inequality is rising - and the wealth of the super-rich is skyrocketing.

We're here outside the treasury today, ahead of the governments spring budget, to say:

❌ No more cuts to public services

The idea that people with disabilities should be funnelled into work at all costs because it will somehow bestow "dignity" on them is invariably promoted by people who like their job and feel terrifically dignified about doing it. Mostly politicians, in other words.

Being on disability benefits is rarely a lifestyle choice. Endorsing divisive populist rhetoric in order to placate rightwing factions that a Labour government should properly despise, that's a lifestyle choice.

UK politicians know they should condemn Trump's ethnic cleansing proposal for Gaza, and the reluctance with which some of them are approaching it, whining and dragging their feet like infants facing their inevitable bedtime, would be funny if people weren't still dying there every minute of the day.

Billionaires should not own social media platforms.

Billionaires should not run our newspapers.

Billionaires should not control our politics.

A free media is a democratic media - a public good that is owned and run by us all.

Don't let Elon Musk make Nigel Farage look moderate by comparison.

Both are trading off the exact same politics of hate. The only difference between them is that while Farage judged it would be bad for his career to associate with a criminal thug like Tommy Robinson, Musk is too far gone to care

Musk is just another gullible & ignorant Twitter user...

He's just as easily radicalised by the guff he reads & watches as Johnny 12 numbers

The difference is...

He owns the platform

He owns Trump

And he'll own our politcians here if we don't wake up to this threat.
