Ed Davey refuses to work with the only Jewish leader of a British political party because that Jewish leader is not a zionist.
This is, needless to say, extremely antisemitic.

It doesn't matter how many times you cut disability benefits. Severely disabled people still won't be able to work.

MEMO to the British mainstream media:
@ZackPolanski speaks for MANY British Jews
I am a British Jew and I am proud that Zack, another British Jew, speaks with humanity, courage & clarity on issues concerning Israel/Palestine, whereas so many UK politicians and so much of the UK media is ill-informed, cowardly & immoral
.@ZackPolanski has to explain that conflating Jews with the state of Israel (like the PM did last week) is antisemitic and is making British Jews less safe.

Netanyahu has disputed the attack on EU Diplomats including from Belgium and France that left them in hospital.
It is time for Europe to Sanction Israel they are an enemy state.

419 authors, illustrators, poets and editors have signed a letter backing Sally Rooney and Faber, and calling on the government to lift the Palestine Action ban.
Same week, Sarah Helm, wife of the National Security Adviser, posted: "God help us authors who support Palestine and Palestine Action."
The Met said it was assessing the post.
The Guardian and BBC now report no action will be taken.
Amnesty counts more than 3,500 arrests in Britain for alleged support of the group, many for holding placards.
Writers stand with Rooney.
The NSA's wife walks free.

Well after today’s announcement from the Bank of England, there is something very, very, very wrong in the system.
So … let me get this straight:
* British Gas made a profit of £1.3bn between January & June
* BP announced profits of £6.95 billion between April and June alone
* Shell has profited by £9.4bn in a year
The MEN at the top:
* John Pettigrew, boss of National Grid received £6.5m bonus on top of his salary
* Chris O’Shea, chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was paid almost £2m last year in salary and benefits
* Centrica's non-executive directors were paid almost £1m
* Scottish Power's CEO Keith Anderson is on £1.15m.
* E.On boss Michael Lewis is on £1m
* EDF's Simone Rossi is also on £1m
* And their top execs enjoyed a share of £4.65m
* Peter Simpson of Anglian Water earned a £1.3m pay package
* Welsh Water bosses awarded themselves bonuses of over £930,000
* Severn Trent bosses awarded themselves bonuses of £5.56m
* Thames Water's Sarah Bentley, received a £727,000 bonus on top of her £2m annual salary
Meanwhile there are...
* People who haven't had breakfast and/or lunch TODAY, because they can't afford it.
* People using FoodBanks because food is becoming more of a luxury than a necessity.
* Children celebrating a birthday without presents.
* Parents worrying about new school uniforms - and some schools enforcing rules which are not cost-effective.
* People who can't get to work because they can't afford to put petrol in their cars/pay for public transport anymore.
* People who are working so much they're making themselves ill, and they STILL CAN'T AFFORD to pay their bills.
* People who have been given fines by these same energy/water companies because they couldn't afford to pay their bills in the first place - increasing their debt.
* Customers being told to do STAR JUMPS TO KEEP WARM for crying out loud!
* Hose pipe bans when gallons of water leak away everyday.
* Elderly people NOT DRINKING because they're worried about running out of water!!!
All this and energy prices are set to rise up to 75% in October...
THIS IS MADNESS!.. I'm all for supporting profits … I'm not for supporting greed at the cost of lives of others.
Something needs to change.
Why is customers' money being used to make life more comfortable for those who are making life more intolerable for the rest of us?
I actually don't understand how the energy companies are allowed to get away with this and why the government aren't stopping them instead of handing out money.....

Another 🇮🇱 airstrike targeting defenceless civilians in Gaza City 🇵🇸
There is no ‘ceasefire’
It’s terrorism
It’s a racist genocide
‘Leaders’ who are silent are complicit:
Ban 🇬🇧 arms sales to 🇮🇱
Ban 🇮🇱 money from 🇬🇧 politics
Sanctions against 🇮🇱
Now.

The campaign against Polanski has now reached Corbyn levels of hysteria. So normalised has this become for the political/media class that they are totally oblivious to the fact the bulk of the public are saying - hang on, but he's Jewish.
According to Opinium 81% of Green voters who expressed a view said they supported the Zionism is racism motion and 60% of ALL voters under 34.
It is absolutely vital the current Green Party leadership stands firm. Millions switched to the Greens precisely because they appeared to be prepared to stand firm on the great moral issue of our day. To buckle would be disastrous for British democracy.
Antisemitism is a cancer in our politics.
We fought hard to root it out of our party.
We will not stand by and watch it infect public life again.

Israeli Defense Minister Katz on Lebanon:
'60 villages destroyed. 23,000 houses demolished. 200,000 residents gone. This is the Gaza model, and this is the model we are implementing.'
Just a Minister of Defense proudly listing the villages he erased and the 200,000 people he displaced
They've stopped hiding it

A majority of the 635 children held in Israeli prisons in 2025 were put in solitary confinement, usually for between one and two weeks – some up to eight times.
92 per cent of those children had not been sentenced.
A third had not even been charged with an offence.
The world's highest court says Israel is an apartheid state. Its decades-long occupation is illegal.

"I don't know what the fuss is about. Zionism is of course racist. .... Zionists ... decided to establish their self-determination on the territory of another people. .... There's no way that the state of Israel could have been established without the expulsion of the people already living in the territory ... Why is this so difficult to understand?"
The indomitable Ghada Karmi, driven from Jerusalem as a child, cuts through the crap at this morning's Greens4Palestine press conference. /1

If Sally Rooney was donating the proceeds of her books to the IDF she'd be fine to sell them in the UK.
Despite their heinous crimes.
This is the dystopia we live in.
All for Israel.
