@KemiBadenoch Wow. Incredible. I am now, for the first time in my “cough” long voting eligibility going to vote Conservative. 👏👏👏

You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me. Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true. Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response. I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth. The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts. I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse. So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.

@ikeijeh I love her.

Amongst the best unscripted political speeches I have ever heard. Many said Kemi's focus on trans/CRT culture wars made her too divisive. But it's now clear it gave her the rare moral conviction to recognise what is real & defend what is right. Superb.

@IsraelIDFend 😂But think of the cleaning (or cleaning bill).💸

I’m making Aliyah soon, and I’m putting an offer in on this house. What do you think? $450K US should work, right?

I see Jeremy is pretending not to understand the difference between *man stabbing his Muslim acquaintance* & *man travelling an hour to a neighbourhood with lots of Jews and then stabbing two of them*. The Muslim man was not stabbed because of his religion. The Jewish ones were.

Farrow & Ball’s new colour: Green Tit

@jwomencount2 She’s obscene. Honestly like watching a cackling witch from a cheap horror movie.

@Moonlighhy Magpies are one of the few non mammals that recognise their reflection in a mirror. So smart.

Where did they study architecture?? 🥰🥰🥰

Predictable 👇🏻

Josh Breslaw’s full speech from the @Freedom_in_Arts parliamentary launch of The New Boycott Crisis. A powerful speech on Oi Va Voi, cancellation, Jewish cultural life & what happens when artists are judged through identity, political assumption rather than artistic merit.

This video is less than two minutes long and I implore everyone to watch it. It is indeed rather extraordinary. As Holocaust Awareness Ireland says, Patrick Kielty exhibits utter callousness with respect to the attacks on the Jewish community, astonishingly saying ‘the backdrop of that is obviously the horrors in Gaza, this is a complex thing.’ Boy George remains calm and says ‘if you don’t know any Jewish people maybe that’s the problem.’ He then asks the audience ‘do you know any Jewish people?’ Boy George is visibly taken aback by the ensuing silence, and vocalises his shock twice, remarking that it is ‘weird’ and ‘surprising me a little bit.’ Patrick looks uncomfortable and ends puts an end to the topic with a dismissive ‘mmm’. Extraordinary viewing. Just extraordinary.

@IsraelIDFend I’m not Jewish, but I’m very proud of my Jewish friends and internet friends. Full of such strong love and humour even in the darkest of times. ❤️

It’s Jewish Heritage Month. I’m proud of our strength and resilience. What makes you proud to be a Jew? 👇🏼

@FallonTonight @NASAArtemis They are all so incredible. Love them.

The Crew of @NASAArtemis II explains why it was more nerve-wracking to get back down to Earth than it was to leave it! #FallonTonight

She brought up “Palestine” so I asked her where it is. “I’ll be honest, I do not know”

גבירותיי ורבותיי, ניק פאקינג קייב. 👑

I love the U.K., a man can run around the streets stabbing people for being Jewish, and the issue people debate is whether the police officers trying to remove the knife from him used excessive force. Proof that we will do absolutely anything to avoid addressing antisemitism.

@HeidiBachram @SimonHButler 👏👏👏

💥 Two Green Party candidates have been arrested on suspicion of stirring up racial hatred for allegedly posting anti-Semitic comments online. Good.

I was in Golders Green yesterday. I arrived just as the police presence was building. My heart goes out to the two Jewish victims and to their loved ones. We need to make our Jewish community know we support them. Even before I knew what had happened I was in tears because you could feel panic in the air. These are just regular people getting with their lives. London has always been a great multicultural city. Our Jewish community brings us so much. They are an integral part of the fabric of this city. open.spotify.com/track/570ZDO2L…

@LiquidFaerie 🤬I hope they are caught and prosecuted.

I took this photo- someone here on x lifted it & is trying to find my location by telling a lie. I’ve contacted the police & elders of the island.

@LiquidFaerie I’m sorry. How horrible. 😞 But what a cutie 😻

I’ve had to delete most of my personal photos, island life, garden, house, anything that shows my location. All personal pics of home. Found that someone has archived my account, so had to get security services involved. Emails sent to wayback archive. Sorry folks, can’t share island life, because apparently jelous nasty people are doing nasty things. Here’s a sweet cat I met yesterday instead.

Here is Gaza. Destroyed by Israel. According to antisemites, this destruction explains or justifies attacks on random Jewish people in the UK. Except it's not Gaza. I lied. It's actually Homs, in Syria. Destroyed by Assad. Nobody ever attacked random Syrians over this.
