@jodymcintyre_ It’s in his Wikipedia page so “never been repeated” is false. It also says he wrote a diary detailing his unease at maintaining a "brutal" curfew aimed at bringing the community to "heel". Every Israeli has served in the IDF. This isn’t the win you think it is.

In November 2010, a single paragraph in the Jewish Chronicle described Jonathan Kestenbaum as “an ex-IDF soldier [and] holder of the Israel army’s ‘outstanding soldier award’”. The claim has never been repeated since. Kestenbaum now sits on the board of Labour Together.

EXCLUSIVE: I have uncovered evidence suggesting that Labour Together, the think tank of Morgan McSweeney fame, is now being led by a former IDF soldier. This information does not appear on his Wikipedia page or in ANY recent articles. I cannot believe Labour have hidden this:🧵

@atrupar Just reading the comments online on the article where a number have latched onto that. Well done for your stamina.

One correction to this piece that I just noticed and have to make. I have 274,000 newsletter subscribers *total.* A very small fraction of that number are paying ones. It is not the case that I have "274,000 subscribers who pay $50 per year," as the piece claims. 😅

Who else remembers when fuel prices were reasonable and the straits of Hormuz were open to all? It wasn’t that long ago. Just 2 months ago. Trump started an illegal war and can’t get out of it now. What a clown.

Who else remembers when the NATO said their Navies could “stand together” to protect Greenland from the US military? Turns out NATO can’t even defend their own merchant ships from a Navy that’s already been sunk.

@Ed_Miliband What about the rebar needed, the 20% of the steel plate per base required, where is that coming from Beaker? And there will be nowhere near 5k jobs created. Wales need to get rid of Labour, they will be fed up of your lies.

We’re investing £64m to transform Port Talbot into Wales' first floating offshore wind hub. That means 5,000 good jobs, £500m of investment and enough clean power for 6.5m homes. We are putting Wales at the heart of our clean energy superpower mission. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@LabourfutureUK I doubt it burnt down because of vapes. It probably burnt because a lithium battery caught fire. Will you ban batteries too? Like the ones in your phone, your tablet or your computer? If this account represents the future of Labour then the party is in trouble.

The terrible fire in Glasgow was around a shop selling vapes illegally. The government should be banning vapes instead of an unenforceable tobacco ban. These vapes are the real problem and its where Labour should be focussing its energy. thescottishsun.co.uk/news/16022699/…

Finnish President Alexander Stubb, "Brexit was a colossal mistake" "I'm too diplomatic to express exactly what I think about those who promoted Brexit, during the campaign, and those who still think that Brexit is a good thing" "It's not only like shooting yourself in the foot" "It's like amputating your leg without a medical reason for doing it"

@anyexcuse4me @implausibleblog NATO is a defensive organisation. Never planned to be offensive. This is Israel and the USAs mess and they haven’t got an exit strategy.

@implausibleblog She is exactly right. You need the US for your national security. We do not need you. He is simply asking for you to help secure your oil. The US is a net oil exporter

Kevin Maguire, "We don't want to be sucked into Trump's war with Iran" Susanna Reid, "What Trump is saying is that you rely on us for your defence and this is going to be bad for that alliance" "This is all well and good until we find ourselves needing Donald Trump saying, please can you protect us from something dreadful happening to us" "And he says, you didn't do enough when I took on Iran" "That is a doomsday scenario" Kevin Maguire, "And when we did respond on Afghanistan, he said our troops were nowhere near the front line, despite over 450 killed and many more injured" "Trump is taking away our security" "Tankers and trade were coming through the strait of Hormuz until he started bombing Iran with Israel" "You don't want to go along when the war is still happening, otherwise you become a target" Susanna Reid, "If we are a target we'll need the Americans" Kevin Maguire, "We could back this war in Iran and send everything we have, but that doesn't mean that Trump in a month won't say he won't support us" "That's the problem, Trump is not reliable"

@implausibleblog @DeborahMeaden NATO is a defensive organisation. Attack one and the others should join the defence. It was never planned to be an offensive organisation. This war was started by the USA and Israel. Expecting everyone else to help them in this folly was naive at best an moronic at worst.

Julia Hartley-Brewer: a media mouthpiece who smiles while spreading lies on COVID, on war with Russia, on Iran. Sir Richard Dalton just did what too few have: called her out to her face. History won't forget her cheerleading for conflict. #bbcbreakfast #r4today #PMQ

@huggan_anas @EdwardJDavey Churchill would certainly have known that it’s grammatically incorrect to write “would of sided” instead of “would have sided”.

@GeorgeHQ_X @PolitlcsUK @Telegraph @Nigel_Farage Diego Garcia is 13x smaller than the Isle of Wight and is populated by armed US serviceman. Fairly easy to control who goes there as it’s 450 miles from the Maldives. Hasn’t he got a by-election to worry about this week?

@richardpbacon If I remember correctly he came on to the show because he was born 9 years before Lincoln was assassinated. And having died in 1966 at the age of 107 he was also alive when Kennedy was shot.

@spectator @terrychristian There’s a difference in saying something like that on the street or in pub instead of on a major news broadcaster. Let’s face it. It would even have had less coverage in an interview in your magazine. It’s akin to the Gerald Ratner comment in terms of bad PR though. Man’s a fool!

BBC News started a rolling live news feed, as if Sir Jim Ratcliffe's remarks were akin to a natural disaster or a war. Rachel Reeves said his comments were ‘disgusting’ and ‘unacceptable’. Sir Keir even demanded that Sir Jim recant and apologise for his sinful utterance. I’m sorry, what century is this? In what more moral universe is it acceptable for a PM to so publicly rebuke a British citizen simply for saying something he disapproves of? ✍️ Brendan O'Neill Article | spectator.com/article/why-wa…

@idolikeapie @PaulHeatonSolo Man moves to Monaco for tax avoidance in the Uk and everyone thinks he speaks for the nation. Please. He now lives in a country where 75% are immigrants and his football team has a similar percentage. If you think that’s the same for you then you obviously think Farage is great!

Today I walked the 5.8 miles to work. From Withington, through Moss Side & Hulme- the bit Sir 'Jim Rat' has never visited [& never will]. The Claremont pub is still serving, and the area's alright, if a little run down. The final shot is of 'Jim's World', of bribery & money.

@pawpawpawpaw10 @atrupar With all due respect you can’t compare the economic and technological advances that the US has made across the whole country with Brazil and India which have massive areas of poverty. And India allows postal voting although it’s not universal.

@atrupar We're the only democratic country above 200 million population that has mail-in voting. Brazil and India do not. They have large land-areas too. Smaller-sized countries with smaller-populations don't scale. There.
