It was wrong when the media did this to Ed Miliband when he was leader and it is wrong to do this to Polanski. Genuinely have no idea how awfulness like this gets past editors… It’s really not that hard to criticise policies or politicians without being antisemitic.

Recent Telegraph and Times cartoons of Green Party leader Zack Polanski, challenged for deploying antisemitic tropes + caricatures of a Jewish politician, by the Green party and by others.

This is awful, and I've so far seen no response from either the Board of Deputies or the Jewish Leadership Council. I've also not been able to find any coverage at all in the Jewish News, and one small mention in the Jewish Chronicle in the middle of a story attacking Polanski.

We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

Reports of a third attempted arson attack on Jewish targets in North London this week. It's getting really scary and more people need to start taking it seriously.

67 horses have died at the Aintree Festival since 2000. 17 after racing in the Grand National. This isn’t sport, it’s a death toll. We’re calling for a boycott. Don’t attend. Don’t bet. Switch off. It’s time to put horse welfare before profit.

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.

If you're replying to a post about torched ambulances in London with a point about Israel, you've crossed the line into antisemitism. And you're doing absolutely nothing to help any cause. Even if you consider yourself one of the good people. Maybe especially so. You've just caught racism.

The purity test put on Jews to have absolutely no ties to Israel at all is impossible for most Jews, in case that wasn’t obvious Many have family in Israel because they went there after the Shoah, or after the Jewish expulsions from Arab countries, or because they’re Ethiopian Jewish refugees

Horrified by the antisemitic attack in our city. Antisemitism is vile and has no place here. Solidarity with the Jewish community in Golders Green - and with our communities across the country who will be feeling this today.

Leaving the EU has impacted people and businesses across the UK, with the impacts still being felt a decade after the referendum. The solution? Reset our relationship, rejoin the single market, and regain our place at the heart of Europe.

And then there's Brexit. The evidence of the impacts are so clear. Employment down, investment down, productivity down. The economy is 6 to 8% smaller than it would have been, hundreds of pounds added to the average household shopping bill. Leaving the EU has been a sledgehammer to an already weak economy.

The only way Reform UK could win a general election is through our first-past-the-post system. If we had proportional representation, the threat would evaporate. We don't have PR because Starmer has blocked it. This allows him to say: vote Labour or you get Farage. Because it's all he has left.
