Women from the Labour Party have spoken out about the party's failure to elect a woman as leader in its 120-year history, despite every other major UK political party having done so. 🔗 trib.al/0B3BEC6

@andyburnham Evidence? Or isn’t it required when you are stanning for the American/Israeli Axis?

Good. Supporting a group linked to death threats and attacks here in the UK, doing the dirty work of Iran and Russia, should absolutely be against the law. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@N84773Novak @Jacob_Rees_Mogg So why are they always accused of living in the past?

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Communists have no respect for tradition. In fact, they hate it.

This is not how the Commons ought to operate.

@nicolelampert @ArchbishopSarah Fuck off.

Isaiah was a Jewish prophet in Judea. Yet your Synod has approved a document denying Jewish indigenous presence in that land. You encouraged them to approve it @ArchbishopSarah

@BritainWakes @ArchRose90 Yawn.

@ArchRose90 Spot on, Chris. The IRGC has actively threatened the UK multiple times. The IDF hasn’t. Proscribing a terrorist organisation that wants to harm Britain was the correct decision not everything needs to be twisted into a defence of Israel.

Number of threats IDF have made to the UK: 0 Number of threats IRGC have made to the UK: At least 20 since 2022. A third rate MP as always.

@GeorgeDeek @synod FO.

Israel strongly condemns the shameful decision of the Church of England @Synod to grant legitimacy to the extremist Kairos Palestine document. This hateful document undermines the right of the world's only Jewish state to exist, and seeks to justify the atrocities of October 7 by blaming Israel for causing it. Even more disturbingly, it urges churches to boycott dialogue with “Zionist voices,” in practice excluding the overwhelming majority of the Jewish community in the UK from Christian-Jewish engagement unless they renounce Jewish self-determination. The irony is striking. The Church of England has itself adopted the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism, including all of its examples without qualification. So by the Church’s own standard, its decision to delegitimize Jewish self-determination falls under the definition of antisemitism. At a time of unprecedented hatred against Jews, and after centuries in which Christian institutions contributed to the persecution of Jews, the Church had a special responsibility to exercise moral clarity. Instead, it has chosen to reward extremism, damage Christian-Jewish relations, and bring profound shame upon the Church of England. And on a personal note: The Church of England had an opportunity to promote understanding by engaging the full diversity of Christian voices from the Holy Land. It did not. I say this as an Arab Christian whose family has lived in this land for centuries. Instead, the Church opted to elevate one of the most radical and divisive theological and political manifestos produced in recent years. The consequences of that decision will echo far beyond the walls of the General Synod.

@lucymarionbrown It’s sounds like you always been a Faragehead.

Have never been a Faragehead but bugger me if that lot in parliament don’t want his head on a spike as punishment for not hating the native population

@Johanne31785773 @zarahussain999 Yawn.

@zarahussain999 Being "far-right" in 2026 just means having the same views as 99.9% of all humans who ever lived up until a few years ago, and the infection called "WOKE Mind Virus" became an epidemic. You're not far-right, you're just normal.

The far-right flag cult shouts “off our streets” and “deportation” at a brave Muslim man who was there alone. Then they attack him. A message to Andy Burnham and Shabana Mahmood: We shouldn’t have to live like this in Britain.

@WalkerMarcus Yawn.

As one of 20 clergy to vote against this, it worries me hugely that just at the time when our Jewish friends, neighbours, and fellow citizens need to know that the Established Church supports and upholds them, we look like we have abandoned them.

UK’s chief rabbi slams ‘shameful’ Church of England decision to back document accusing Israel of genocide timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry… via @timesofisrael

@chiefrabbi Zzzzzzz

It is shameful that the Church of England General Synod has recommended engagement with Kairos II. This is a document full of falsehood, which openly rejects dialogue, uses extreme rhetoric to challenge the very existence of Israel and objects to existing peace agreements in the region. Though it poses as a route to understanding, Kairos II in fact functions as an egregious barrier to it, reducing one of the world's most complex conflicts to a single, warped narrative, which can only harm the cause of peace. This is a sad day for Jewish-Christian relations.

@trishaposner Zzzzzz

Even Holocaust history is now a target for antisemites. They can't let the dead rest in peace. Every evening, as a final post, I put up "On This Day in Holocaust History." It's a small ritual, but I take it seriously. It's a reminder that the Nazi genocide tried to eliminate every Jew on earth — not as a metaphor, but as a stated, bureaucratized goal, carried out with trains and paperwork and neighbors who looked away, or worse, in too many instances helped. I've spent years with this history. I wrote a book on it, The Pharmacist of Auschwitz. I know the events, the dates, the names. And still — honestly — I'm often left exhausted by the sheer scale of it. The machinery of murder the Nazis built, and the millions of individual human beings it consumed one by one. It's impossible to rank atrocities. I won't say one gruesome event was "worse" than another. But some stop me cold anyway. This week it was Jedwabne. 85 years ago, in a small town in northeastern Poland, local Polish farmers — not German soldiers, not SS officers, their own neighbors — locked around 300 Jews into a barn. Men, women, and children. And set it on fire. Screaming as they burned to death, at the hands of people they had lived beside their whole lives. An official Polish government investigation confirmed this in 2003. Not Nazi occupiers. Poles, from Jedwabne, killing their Jewish neighbors. That finding shattered a national narrative Poland had held onto for decades — that Poles were only ever victims of Nazi occupation, never perpetrators. It's worth saying plainly: over 7,000 Poles have been honored by Israel as Righteous Among the Nations, more than any other nationality — extraordinary, real courage. Both things are true. Poland produced rescuers, and Poland produced a barn full of murdered children in Jedwabne. My maternal grandparents emigrated to Britain from Poland so this history has a personal nexus as well for me. So this week, on the 85th anniversary, Poland's Chief Rabbi laid a stone at the memorial. Poland's Prime Minister spoke about the need for the country to take responsibility for what "does not do us honor," not just what it's proud of. And right next to that ceremony — not across town, not on a different day, but right next to it — roughly 1,000 people gathered for a demonstration and a Catholic mass, organized by far-right parties who still refuse to accept that Polish villagers did this. That's the part that caught me. Not just that the massacre happened — I already knew that. It's that 85 years later, with the facts settled by an official state investigation, there are still a thousand people willing to show up and reject it, in real time, at the memorial itself. 85 years later, and they're still arguing about who lit the match. This is exactly what @geraldposner and I wrote about recently in Skeptic magazine, in our piece "The New Normal for Antisemitism." Our argument was simple: Jews today are caught in a pincer. Antisemitism from the left and antisemitism from the right come from different ideological starting points — one dresses itself up as anti-colonialism and racism and apartheid, the other as ethnonationalism and the portrayal of Jews as an omnipotent conspiratorial clan— but they arrive at the same place, with equal viciousness. Jedwabne is a reminder that this isn't theoretical. It's not confined to college campuses or arguments on X. It shows up at a Holocaust memorial ceremony, in the country where the Nazi genocide reached its highest death toll. That's why I keep doing "On This Day." Not because I think people don't know the Holocaust happened — everyone knows that, in the abstract. It's because history isn't self-enforcing. Facts don't defend themselves. Holocaust history is not sacred to the haters. That's not a reason to stop telling it. For me, at least, it's the reason to keep going.

@AJCGlobal And you can fuck off as well.

We stand in solidarity with UK Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis and the Board of Deputies of British Jews as they confront the Church of England's shameful decision to encourage its members to engage with a Palestinian Christian document that accuses Israel of genocide.

@JewishChron Diddums.

Church of England leaders support ‘engagement’ with Israel ‘genocide’ document despite Chief Rabbi’s warning thejc.com/news/uk/church…

@janeydarling1 He’s a prick just like his brother.

The rapist Connor McGregor, you mean. Shame on you Noel

@chiefrabbi Oh please just shut up.

@Rodjareey @BowesChay Welby was in it up to his neck.

@BowesChay Good to see since Justin Welby stepped down the church is no longer ruled by paedophiles/apologists for them, in the interests of Zionism and mass murder. And as for Mirvis, don’t tell me he doesn’t come across like a wrong un on all levels.

Church of England votes overwhelmingly to engage with Palestinian Christian document accusing Israel of genocide. Decision came despite warnings from Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis that it risks "undermining decades of careful relationship‑building" between Christians and Jews.

@Independent Self inflicted. Dreadful performance on Corbyn, Covid profiteering and, above all, craven cowardice on Israel and its genocide in Gaza.

@Christians_era No.

Kamala Harris asks: Did you want me as President? The replies are destroying her YES or NO — be brutally honest 🙏

@TrumpsHurricane Delusional.

Kamala Harris says “People who didn’t vote for me are now apologizing and saying they made a Big mistake” What’s your response to this ??
