Brilliant to be on the long list to be the Conservative candidate for Mayor of London.
I’m looking forward to the competition and can’t wait to speak to members all over our great city.
Together, we will make London a city we can all be proud of again.

#AssemblyEnvironment went to visit Harrow Litter Pickers to find out more about how fly-tipping sites can be transformed into community use, as part of its investigation into illegal waste dumping. london.gov.uk/who-we-are/wha…

Huge congrats @Ameet_Jogia, you will make a fantastic MP for Hendon
Honoured to be selected again for Hendon. Last time it came down to 15 votes.
This time I'll earn every one of them, fighting for the families, businesses and neighbours who make this place home.
Let's make Hendon blue again @conservatives.

It is a stain on us as a society that Jewish children are frightened to go to school in Britain in 2026.
I welcome Sir David Bell's review & thank those brave enough to share their experiences.
Warm words will not be enough, the recommendations must be properly enforced.

Some of those intent on downplaying the report into antisemitism in schools are confused by the fact that despite so many Jewish children going to faith schools, 3/5 Jewish kids have experienced antisemitism.
This is why.
Outside the school gates they are attacked by other children.
Their buses are hit.
There has been a spate of incidents at Belsize Park tube station near one Jewish school, with at least two serious assaults.
Outside another Jewish school in Hendon, a car tried to run over pupils.
The list goes on.
And on.
And on.

NEW: I've accepted an urgent Lords question on what assessment Government has made of the National Security Adviser's role in tackling antisemitism in the UK to protect Jewish communities. The question from Lord Polak can be followed ⬇️ from circa 3.15pm:

Very well said from @Jo_Coburn
‘I am a Zionist and the ‘Zionism is racism’ motion is antisemitism.’
Stephen Greek retweeted
Over 500 Conservative councillors have signed our open letter calling on Green councillors to stand up for British Jewish residents.
The Green Party has declared “Zionism to be racism”. Zack Polanski didn’t stay to vote against it. And yesterday, he told Laura Kuenssberg he wouldn’t overturn it: “I don’t think this is actually controversial.”
We’re asking Green councillors to disavow the motion, challenge antisemitism and reassure Jewish residents they’ll be represented without prejudice.
Silence is a choice.

It was great to see Harrow Mayor Yogesh Teli open the fantastic St Ann's Kiosks in Harrow Town Centre.

Antisemitism in schools has doubled in 3 years. Politics is seeping into the classroom, & we cannot stand by & do nothing. To those who questioned the need to tighten political impartiality laws, I say speak to the Jewish parents who are frightened to send their children to school in 2026 then tell me why these changes aren’t necessary.

This is the third time in three PMQs that Andy Burnham has had to correct what he’s said afterwards.
This is now a recurring pattern where the PM spends all his time fixing his own gaffes, instead of sorting out welfare or finding the money to defend our country.

There was a situation at my daughter’s school last week which left her in tears. I went in to the school the day after to let them know we were removing her with immediate effect. The head teacher tried to explain but I had no interest in her excuses or reasons.
The school had a play and an open evening for next year’s new pupils, and my daughter’s class were asked to take the potential new pupils and their parents for a tour of the school and classes.
My daughter is the most softly spoken, polite and friendly child you’d probably ever meet. She’s one of just 40 Jewish pupils at the school out of over a thousand children. My wife wanted her to go to a non Jewish school because she felt concerned about the security threats at Jewish schools, and I don’t have much say in the matter as I’m just the dad. Our youngest goes to a Jewish school and the security simply isn’t anywhere good enough. This would be both their last year at school in this country because we’d already made the decision to leave the country before their next school year.
My oldest wears a tiny discreet Star of David pendant. It’s so inoffensive to anybody but allows her to express her Jewish faith in a small way.
When it was her turn in line to greet the family she would show around, the family was a Muslim family. My daughter has no personal issue with anybody and is friendly with two Muslim girls in her class who aren’t bothered by her being Jewish. But this family clearly were. In front of everyone, the father refused to be shown around by “a Jew”. He apparently, according to several parents and a teacher, raised his voice at her, and demanded that another child show them around. Instead of the head teacher condemning his behavior and telling him to leave, she asked my daughter to step aside and asked another pupil to show them around. Nobody except other parents, non Jewish parents, came to my daughter to ask if she was even ok. She was in a flood of tears, frightened and confused.
My wife got a phone call from another parent and insisted she would go fetch our daughter because she already knew what I would do had I gone there myself. But this is what we live in now. This is the new normal.
For reasons of what will come next, I won’t name the school. But this is going to escalate, a lot.

Six pro-Pals were arrested today for criminal damage after the Battle of Britain memorial was attacked. Wreaths lie broken and smashed at the feet of the monument dedicated to those brave warriors who defended us against the Nazis. Utterly shameful.

I am Jewish. I'm no longer a member of @TheGreenParty. Because I am a Zionist.

Note to broadcast journalists interviewing Zack Polanski;
Don’t forget to challenge him on his lies - this is also your job.
So when he says 75,000 ‘murdered in Gaza’ point out that figure from Hamas includes terrorists and people who died of natural causes.
When he says ‘genocide’ point out this has not been found by any court and is denied. Particularly as the population of Gaza is now higher than it was.
When he talks about child amputees point out that officials have strangely not highlighted child amputees in any other war, including wars where more than 10x the number were killed.
When he talks about the ‘ongoing genocide’ remind him that Hamas was meant to disarm a year ago and still hasn’t.
Don’t let him just come on and spout his lies.

This from a BBC Gaza Correspondent perfectly illustrates why so much trust has been lost over the broadcaster's framing of the conflict.
October 7th is talked about here purely as a Palestinian tragedy. No reflection on - or even mention of - Hamas and the brutal atrocities they committed on that day. No thought for the victims on the third anniversary of the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust.
Impartial and objective reporting must be the core of the BBC's news offer. We will never get that with this sort of mindset. Shameful.
For me, 7 October is not just a story I report. It is deeply personal.
My father, my brothers and my sisters are still in Gaza. Every strike, every displacement order, every night of fear reaches my own family.
The Gaza I grew up in has been shattered. People I knew are gone. Places filled with memories have disappeared.
Three years later, my hope is painfully simple: that my family can stay on the land we call home.
And my deepest fear is that one day, they may be forced to leave it.
Stephen Greek retweeted
Today marks three years since October 7th 2023 - the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
On that day, Hamas terrorists unleashed a wave of barbaric violence, murdering more than 1,200 innocent men, women and children, and taking 251 people hostage.
We remember all those murdered.
May their memory be a blessing.
