I’ve not seen one post from a @NewcastleCC councillor condemning the terrorist attacks on Israel. I’ve similarly not seen any reference to the attacks in the local press, despite extensive previous reporting of other terror attacks around the world. I wonder why that is?

I’m so old I still remember when the Green Party mainly used to talk about polar bears and holes in the Ozone layer. That was before they realised they could exploit virulent antisemitism for electoral gain.

@ShahrarAli After introducing her as a candidate a mere two weeks ago …

"Warning: This article contains detail some readers may find distressing." A Green Party candidate has been accused of antisemitism in posts published online calling for "every single Zionist" to be killed. Tina Ion, who is standing for election in Newcastle, said she published the posts on social media platform Threads under the handle "thereal.anne.frank". Some referred to "Zionists" as "vermin" and "rats", while another referenced negative stereotypes about Jewish people. Newcastle Green Party said it had withdrawn its support for Ion. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

This @TrevorPTweets interview with @ZackPolanski needs to be shared and viewed as widely as possible. I've never before seen an interviewer give a proper focus to Polanski's dissembling and refuse to let him get away with his usual evasions. It's a masterclass in the importance of serious scrutiny, which is now so lacking in broadcast journalism (with the exception of @TrevorPTweets) youtu.be/7VkfYJgLljE?si…

It must be difficult being Talcum X. No longer just LGBTQQIA2S+, he is now a woman, Palestine, Jewish, and the Labour Party. A huge amount on his narrow shoulders.

@ZackPolanski We have 156 billionaires in the UK If you took away ALL their wealth it would fund benefits for 2 years That's it Hardly the basis for a sustainable fiscal policy I suggest you go learn some basic economics

@redrumlisa @DPJHodges Don‘t know why he’s mentioned Sunderland at all. He spoke to people in Washington which, as you probably know was historically part of the Durham coalfield.

@DPJHodges Sunderland is its own town The former pit villages are in County Durham, most in East Durham. If you are going to say something about northern working class areas at least try and know where they are.

In the former pit villages of Sunderland the shine is coming off Nigel Farage. But antipathy towards Keir Starmer presents voters there with little choice > Mail On Sunday > dailymail.com/columnists/art…

The man who's spent years talking over and attacking women for defending their rights has now decided that you must belong to a protected group to express an opinion on the threats facing it.

The deputy leader of the most antisemitic party in Britain can fuck off. (I’m so tired of this gaslighting).

Newcastle Green candidates have been exposed as among the most extreme—an outstanding feat in the racist party. So naturally, Hannah Spencer MP was with those candidates today.

The old Arabist ‘Camel Corps’ of the British Foreign Office in full cry. Nothings changes. Twas always thus. Attacks on Jews are the fault of Jews for not being sufficiently robust in criticising Israel. Hamas gets a pass. Even antisemitism is in quotes as if it’s not really a thing.

The Green Party has complained about this cartoon of Zack Polanski by the The Times. They’re deeply unhappy with it. Whatever you do, do not repost!

And so it continues ... time to apply for Mothin Ali's fighting fund? London Green candidate suspended over Golders Green attack 'false flag' claims The Green Party has suspended a London council candidate who shared social media posts blaming Israel for the arson attacks on Jewish volunteer ambulances in March. A repost on the social media profile of Aziz Rahman Hakimi, one of the Greens’ election candidates for Haverstock ward in Camden, provoked outrage in April as it suggested that the fiery destruction of Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green was in fact a “false flag” operation carried out by Israel. standard.co.uk/news/politics/…

This is excellent from @VictoriaPeckham Be afraid, be very afraid of disingenuous Zack Polanski thetimes.com/article/b8e58c…

The Greens have undergone a sinister transformation under Zack Polanski’s leadership. The one-time eco-party thinks Islamic sectarianism is its surest route to power – even if that means embracing anti-Semitism and extremism. It’s horrifying, says Hugo Timms buff.ly/Pr7BADx

As I have written and commented on several times I am amazed that Europe in general and the UK in particular behaves as if it has no idea what’s in store for it if the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed though May (which it will).

The daily stream of revelations regarding antisemitic invective from Green Party candidates is horrific. Zack Polanski and his coterie of spineless Westminster MPs who refuse to call this out are an utter disgrace.

The UK has a BIG problem. They are “protesting” a British War Memorial and selling Hamas triangle merchandise outside the Ministry of Defence building in London. This is an Anti-West, Anti-Britain and Pro-Terrorist movement.

It’s stark when you see it like this, isn’t it?

@treesey @TheGreenParty @ChronicleLive @BBCTees As far as I can tell Newcastle Green Party announced her candidacy on 18 April, weeks after she created that post.

This image was posted in February by Tina Ion under her Anne Frank moniker. Look at the image and the text She is still a candidate for @TheGreenParty in Newcastle Is she fit to stand for public office? Why won’t Polanski disown & condemn her? Cc @ChronicleLive @BBCTees
