Incredible & depressing how standards in British public life have slipped. A few years ago it would have been inconceivable this guy could stay on. The idea that the deeply conservative, William Shawcross is the right man to hold him to account is absurd bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64383742

Meghan Markle had a whole black dad on Suits for six seasons. This idea that she tried to โ€œpassโ€ is an ABSURD lie.

This is Britainโ€™s first ever national billboard campaign seeking the help of people like *you* to stand up against antisemitism. Jews like me are 500% more likely to suffer hate crime than any other faith group per capita #BecauseImJewish. Will you post today to #StandWithJews?

2023 is not the year for pushing through, enduring, being strong, or being resilient. 2023 is the year for complaining when things are hard or wrong. It's the year for demanding help and support. It's the year for saying, "I can't do it, you do it."
