After the Green Party's "Zionism is Racism" vote, the Leader of Haringey Council, which is controlled by the Greens, wrote to various Synagogues in the borough to "reassure" them. I want to show you Highgate Synagogue's reply. I believe it is worth reading in its entirety.

Liverpool politicians get free parking while residents lose it after 6 PM. A Lib Dem council would scrap politician perks and restore resident parking. Citizens first, not politicians. #Liverpool #LocalPolitics #Parking

School leaders have ALWAYS had to make difficult decisions about closing in exceptional circumstances (eg snowfall/ice/heating failures/water supply issues/illness outbreaks). So why was there such a vitriolic response to last week's heat-wave closures? 1/🧵

J.D. Vance in April 2025: “I think a lot of European nations were right about our invasion of Iraq. Frankly, if the Europeans had been a little more independent, and a little more willing to stand up, then maybe we could have saved the entire world from the strategic disaster that was the American-led invasion of Iraq…I don’t want the Europeans to just do whatever the Americans tell them to do. I don’t think it’s in their interest, and I don’t think it’s in our interests, either.” unherd.com/2025/04/transcrip…

Thwarted in their attempts to kill people when they’re nearly dead, the political class have settled for killing people when they’re nearly born.

If you lined up a pair of newborn booties for each of these babies who never got to wear one, it would stretch from Big Ben to St Alban's Cathedral.
🚨BREAKING: “A NATIONAL TRAGEDY & SCANDAL” - 300,000 ABORTED BABIES IN ONE YEAR in the UK. Today, the 2023 abortion statistics have been released, revealing a new record number of abortions: an estimated 299,614 across the UK. This is a national tragedy & national scandal. 🧵1/

While global media attention has switched to Venezuela, worth pointing this out; Iran enters tenth day of protests with 29 killed, 1,203 civilians detained so far.

I would like to ask my non-Iranian followers to spread the news of Iran more than previous days🙏 Today, many Iranian accounts don't have access to the internet to spread the word . We need help of the international community 🇮🇱🇺🇸 Khamenei is pure evil.
Today, in a speech, Khamenei waged an absolute war against Iranian protesters, calling our warriors "agitators" for whom there would be no forgiveness. He orders to oppress Iranian people.

“China first” is not a Christian value. “Nigeria first” is not a Christian value. “America first” is not a Christian value. “England first” is not a Christian value. Christians are members of a global, blood-bought, multi-ethnic kingdom. And our allegiance is to a global God, not a tribal deity.

Regardless of your opinions on abortion or lobsters, we've got a situation where lobster sentience & consciousness is more fundamental to policy-making than the sentience of a full term baby. Why we need more philosophers in Government. Someone let me to write about this.
What is the philosophically consistent argument to make boiling lobsters alive illegal on the basis of sentience, but making it legal to 'abort' a fully sentient baby <1 minute from birth? I know philosophy in politics isn't trendy, but it is fundamental to policy like this

Evangelical pastors: "Essential to the calling of Christian manhood is marrying someone hot and having a million kids." Literally the Apostle Paul: "Ideally, Christians wouldn't get married, but if you want to that's cool. Not a sin or anything."

It is suicide. If you are uncomfortable with suicide, don't support assisted suicide. Simple.
EXCL: Theresa May accused of being ‘deeply insensitive’ after referring to assisted dying as ‘suicide’ In a letter to the former PM, 13 assisted dying campaigners have denounced her language, saying they “listened with dismay” independent.co.uk/news/uk/po…

Once again, I beseech you: Every single discussion of public sector pay - nurses, doctors, teachers etc - should include the value of public sector pensions. Compensation deferred remains compensation.

And there we go. You are all going to live in a country where the health service deliberately & knowingly kills people.

Today's vote will on assisted suicide will, among other things, be a measure of how morally corrupted the Labour Party has become. Socialist or even social democratic MPs would not countenance such a hyper-individualistic measure, esp not when hospice services are so terrible

Logic time - assisted dying will be delivered by private providers. Private firms thrive by expansion. Safeguards won't stop that. Meanwhile palliative care will continue to rely on charity shops?

We should revive the old habit of nicknaming parliaments (Rump, Long, Addled, Bad etc). I think 'The Killing Parliament' would be quite suitable for this one. A Labour government that will have one substantive legacy: legalising the killing of babies, the sick and the old

So why aren't these powerful well-connected people campaigning for our hospices - propped up by charity and volunteers - as opposed to this bill - which will be delivered by private corporations. I just can't imagine.
Passing the Terminally Ill Adults Bill to give people a choice at the end of their lives would not stop us also improving palliative care, so those with a terminal diagnosis can die with dignity, however they choose.

Current UK annual welfare budget is £314bn and is projected to balloon to almost £380bn by the end of this Parliament. Current annual defence spending is £56bn. We spend almost six times more on welfare than on defence.
Always money for war, never for the poor.
