âIf you put red ants & black ants in a glass jar, nothing happens. But if the jar is shaken, the two sets of ants will fight each other. But the real enemy is the person who shook the jar. The same is true in society. Before we fight each other, we must ask: Who shook the jar?â

BBC licence fee to be extended to YouTube, Netflix & Amazon.
This is completely unacceptable.
Those of us who have decided not to watch terrestrial TV should not be forced to pay for and prop up an outdated system.
Let the BBC sink or swim on its own.

Ah Maajid Nawaz! Who remembers the halcyon days when he claimed to be a recovering "Islamist extremist", only for it later to be revealed that he and the Quilliam Foundation were secretly created and bankrolled by British intelligence - specifically MI6 and the Office for Security and counter Terrorism?

Says the Metallica that were very vocal about supporting the #NATO Proxy War in Ukraine. Metallica prefer taking the money instead of advocating for Peace + Justice. More Hypocrisy...

As a British Jew, I'm deeply concerned about the cynical blurring of Zionism & Judaism.
Whatever our political differences, Jewish people must never face prejudice or discrimination.
So after the Labour Government apologised over Gaza: why are they still arming Israel?
As a British Jew, I am deeply concerned by the Green Party's vote to declare Zionism racism.
Whatever our political differences, Jewish people must never face prejudice or discrimination.
Yesterday, I raised these concerns in Parliament and asked how Jewish communities can be reassured.
I welcome the Home Secretary's clear response: every council, regardless of political control, must uphold equality law and protect its residents from discrimination.

I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party.
I'm a victim of Antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party.
You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide and locks pensioners up for opposing it.
Andy Burnham rules out any partnership between Labour and the Green Party due to their controversial motion declaring "Zionism is racism".
