My cousin sent me photos of the toilets in her secondary school today. Her mum emailed the school and only got an automated reply. This isn’t the first Antisemitic issue. @AshmoleAcademy how is this acceptable?! You have a duty to protect all students, including Jewish ones.

@EssexPR Keep thinking this, and posting this, please. It's all bots. Sure thing. Not real people crying out for change, something different to the hate, fear and division you peddle. Nothing for you to worry about, because it's not real .. total astroturf.. lol

The Green Party seems to have a serious amount of faceless bots that swarm on here when prompted… almost looks organised and funded.

It's going to chime really well. "Radical young Greens" will love having a serious and relatable policy platform. This isn't Labour ditching its pledges, it's a fast rising political movement adjusting its offer to work for a nation of voters (not just a section of it).
Jack Tye Wilson ☭@bolsh3vik

This isn't going to chime well with the tens of thousands of radical young people who have turned to the Greens recently. @ZackPolanski, learn the lessons of the Corbyn movement: moderation and respectability will get you nowhere!

@policylaila Concerned about the gravy train stopping. So desperate to maintain the most appallingly one sided status quo. Pitiable, but grist to the mill of change. Thanks Laila. Join.greenparty.org.uk

None of this is ok. But as a Jewish man yourself, I can’t seem to find your tweets on the countless synagogue attacks recently?… Or churches being burned down ? Why is this ? You’re a Party leader, I’d thought you would be consistent?… Or do you rely on a certain vote ?…
Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski

Really horrible to see the Mosque targeted like this. The rising toxicity of so many politicians & commentators has consequences & it's important we challenge the increasing hostile environment in our public life whether that's Islamophobia, Antisemitism and all acts of hate.

No, the correct response was certainly not “ sorry” … you head a party that plays its part in the problem of rampant antisemitism in this country. You have clearly hardly spoke on synagogues being targeted… an x search shows that. Your party welcomes in antisemites, as seen recently. You’re a joke, you actually believe that you could run a country. Well, the masses aren’t that silly. Never happening.

Zack Polanski has said he will disown candidates that have anti-Semitic views. The evidence is there for all to see. Will he step up and sack them or stay silent?

I find it insane that calling people liars is banned in Parliament. It's like banning the word 'book' in a library.

Two MPs kicked out of the Chamber for unparliamentary behaviour, purely so they can put a clip on social media for their supporters. Appalling conduct.

It’s literally a no brainer. Whether you think weed should be smoked or not, legalisation is the best option. ✅ Easier for regulate ✅ Harder for under 18s to access ✅ Tax revenue ✅ Reduces criminal gangs income ✅ Better quality weed for those who smoke ✅ Saves police time

Agree. IMO removing Prime Ministers should be a pleasure reserved for voters. As Tories showed, regicide is pointless unless you can be 100% sure the successor would be a serious improvement. Election-winning PMs at least carry democratic legitimacy. Plotters less so.
Josh Glancy@joshglancy

Unless he is found to have deliberately lied, it would in my view be pretty odd for Starmer to resign over Mandelson, or indeed his government’s wider political struggles. For our own democratic wellbeing, the bar for an elected prime minister to resign should be very high.

The sheer lack of critical thinking skills and scientific literacy, as clearly shown by some of your replies, is so disturbing. Here…chew on this, and go ahead and continue denying a science you have no formal education in and, obviously, no understanding of.

A biologist once figured out part of this mystery by accident, during a nap. In 1982, Jack Putz lay down under a group of mangrove trees in Costa Rica, looked up, and watched the wind slam their top branches into each other over and over. Every gust snapped off leaves and twigs. So Putz had a theory. When two trees grow close together, they sway in storms and their branches beat each other up. Over years, that beating trims back the treetops where they meet. That wear and tear carves out the gap. A 2015 study backed him up. Researchers checked the branches along these gaps and found that at least half of them had been broken in just the previous six years. Trees are getting slapped around constantly up there. But the theory falls apart in some forests. Alan Rebertus, a scientist who studied a cloud forest where winds hit over 100 kilometers an hour, compared it to sheltered forests. He expected the windy ones to have bigger gaps. They didn't. The gaps looked the same. The Malaysian camphor tree doesn't show any sign of rubbing either. It grows as tall as a 25-story building, and researchers looked carefully where the branches stopped. They found nothing. Whatever was keeping those branches apart, it wasn't physical contact. So there's a second theory, and this one is the part I love. Trees might actually sense each other. Their leaves carry a protein called phytochrome that acts like a little light meter. It notices a kind of light called far-red, which healthy leaves bounce off instead of absorbing. So if a tree's growing tip is suddenly drowning in far-red light, it knows another tree's leaves are right there. The tip stops growing in that direction. The gap forms on its own. Plants even do this politely toward relatives. Next to kin, they back off. But put them next to a stranger and they grow right up in the neighbor's face. The honest answer to what we're looking at in the sky is: we don't fully know. Probably wind in some species, light sensing in others. Plenty of trees do both at the same time. A hundred years of science and nobody has cracked it.

Crown shyness is a phenomenon where the top branches of neighboring trees avoid touching to stay safe, leaving visible jigsaw like gaps between their crowns.
