Crazy isn't it Jeremy Corbyn's Labour party had an 'antisemitism crisis' and now Zack Polanski's Green Party does. While Nigel Farage's Reform party, with Nigel Farage and loads of Nazi lovers, doesn't. It's like it's some kind of scam used against Left Wing parties.

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear. Let’s make this go viral 👇

Everyone marching on the pro-Palestine marches would have welcomed Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi Germany with open arms. Everyone on Tommy's far-right marches would have deported Jewish refugees back to Nazi Germany. Guess which march Zionists want to ban.

@KemiBadenoch @Ashworth101 Actually attacks on the #Trans community are, per-capita, way higher than those on the Jewish community. But I don't see you championing their cause.

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.

Natasha Devon, "I hear this accusation all the time, that anti racism groups don't do enough to include Jewish people" "I just want to try and pour some clarity on that if I can" "When the appalling stabbing happened, Keir Starmer called a COBR meeting. He brought together some leading thinkers to ask what more could be done to tackle antisemitism. The Met police called for more funding to protect Jewish communities. The media gave it pretty much its undiverted attention for days" "That is the correct response" "That response did not happen when a Muslim woman was targeted by a hit and run" "When a Sikh woman was sexually assaulted by a racist who thought she was Muslim" "Or when 50 mosques were targeted between Juen and October 2025" "We don't see the same response" "Antiracism campaigners are looking at where they are needed" "When these appalling attacks happen to the Jewish communities we have the correct response" "When it happens to other communities: women, LGBT, black people, Muslims, not the same urgency is applied"

@jonathanstea @LyndonRosser That's hexagons and crosses. The machine loses.

Debating anti-vaccine activists.

Whatever the crime, kicking an incapacitated person in the head is NEVER right That the head of the Met Police thinks this is OK says everything about this force, which is a law unto itself Respect to @ZackPolanski for highlighting this

If you want Britain to be a "Christian country", then please start by loving your neighbour - be they Christian or not, British or foreign, cis or trans.

@NJ_Timothy If there is a crisis of anti-semitism in the UK what do you have to say about the scapegoating and attacks on the #Trans community. These are far more frequent than those on the #Jewish community. All prejudice is equally wrong. There is no hierarchy.

The conversation in Jewish families is, as Trevor Phillips said this morning, “who among our friends would save us?” We are in an undeniable crisis of antisemitism, and many are asking whether they need to leave Britain. Many have already done so. This is heartbreaking, but the time for weak words is over. We need to be unsparingly honest about what is happening, and what we can do about it. Antisemitism is an ancient disease, and there is no point pretending it does not come from several sources. We saw the surge in antisemitism in the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn. It has been partly purged, but there are some - like Naz Shah - on the Labour benches who have made antisemitic statements in the past. We saw in the Maccabi Tel Aviv scandal that Labour are up to their necks in corruption and communalism in places like the West Midlands. Starmer and Mahmood got away with this - but they knew the police and council had worked together to ban the Israeli fans. They didn’t intervene to stop it because they didn’t see the problem. But the scandal happened because the authorities took the side of Islamists over Jews. Now we see the surge of the Greens - a party absolutely riven with sectarianism and antisemitic candidates and activists. And on the online right, we’re starting to see some of the antisemitic language we’ve seen emerge in the recent years in America. It’s not at all of the same scale - but that could change and it would be wrong to ignore it. Above all though - and this is where too many find it difficult to tell the truth - we have an undoubted antisemitism problem among the Muslim population. Polls show among British Muslims: - Around half say “Jews have too much power over UK government policy.” - Four in ten say the same for the media and the financial industry. - Only one in four believe Hamas committed rape and murder on 7 October. - Only one in four believes Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish homeland. - Around half feel more sympathy with Hamas than Israel. When people ask why Britain - for so long previously a welcoming place for Jews - suddenly has such a problem, this is obviously the most significant change. The official Muslim population here has doubled from 1.6 million in 2001 to over four million today. Some studies suggest seventeen per cent of our population will be Muslim by 2050. Only around half of Muslims in Britain today were born here. And the countries from which Muslim immigrants are coming often have entrenched antisemitic cultures. Pakistan, Somalia, the Middle East. We are importing hatred that should never be welcome here. We are faced with a choice between keeping our Jewish citizens and receiving more and more people from these places. The choice we should make ought to be obvious. We should deport any foreigner who espouses this hatred. We should show zero tolerance to any British nationals who incites hatred and violence. We have to clamp down on the hate marches, and lock up those who are guilty of public order offences and incitement - including anybody who calls to “globalise the intifada” and chants “death to the IDF.” Above all, we have to stop importing hatred and extremism and antisemitism from countries where we know these things are rife. I waited a few days after the Golders Green attack before commenting because I wanted to see what the reaction would be. Unfortunately it was exactly as anticipated: weak words, no action, promises to build higher walls around our Jewish citizens. But I am not willing to sit here and watch as my friends discuss with their loved ones whether they should give up on Britain and emigrate. As a country, we have a choice to make - and my choice is to stand unequivocally with Britain’s Jews.

@JohnCleese Opposing rampant capitalism is showing an interest in Climate Change, John. The other lot are all about 'Drill Baby Drill' and bombing anyone who slows the flow of fossil fuels.

This silly man will say anything to advance his career Right now he is trying to fuse into one party two group of extremists who hate each other's guts Do not vote Green until the new leader shows some interest in Climate Change

@IsabelOakeshott @JujuliaGrace Thus speaks an economic migrant.

@JujuliaGrace You may have noticed an enormous amount of protest from decent humans about illegal immigrants who commit heinous crimes in our communities. If Reform gets in, it will be on the back of a mass protest about all this, by decent humans, via the ballot box

@GyllKing The worry would be him in a coalition with Bad Enoch.

Nigel Farage will never be Prime Minister.

The government has made it clear that repeatedly kicking a suspect in the head whilst on the ground (having already tasered him) is acceptable. I must have missed that legislation. Head wounds can cause brain hemorrhaging and death. Next time it could be you or me . . .

@Nigel_Farage F*ck off, Kermit. Your endless demonising of asylum seekers is pathetic. Go and make yourself useful in Clacton for a change.

This video from today was just a sample. Over 400 more illegals crossed in total. It is a disaster for our country.

Zack handles this question on antisemitism brilliantly on #BBCLauraK

The billionaire class are terrified because we're coming for them - we're going to tax them fairly and end rip-off Britain. Let them attack. We're here to win. Join.greenparty.org.uk

@Heccles94 Blinded by the shite.

Name this new Banksy 👇

The stabbing of two Jewish men is horrifying. So too is the attack on a Muslim man the same day, ignored by much of our media. All human lives are equal — and we should oppose all hatred and violence wherever it appears. That’s how we build a safe & peaceful society for all.

@JuliaHB1 @Ashworth101 And yet you choose to disseminate it.

This statue is the latest Banksy artwork. He's so trite and predictable, I'm surprised his stuff isn't sold as M&S cards.

Everyone ready to watch Reform use the crypto millions donated by dodgy billionaires to buy the local elections? Their circus of candidates are comprised of overt racists, fraudsters, the criminally thick, Holocaust deniers, ex cons and deranged conspiracy theorists. Fuck me…
