@dannykellywords Good luck Danny. Huge fan of all your work. Looking forward to hearing you back on VFTL and the radio.

Cancer update. Poking over. Treatment starts! Now: PICC line insert. Then chemo and immuno drugs begin ("tough" say the docs). I'm wearing my Disraeli Gears hoodie, multi-hueded Dongeal tweed lid, and acid green shirt. Not Psychedia v Chemo... Psych *helping* the Drugs! 💚✊️💊

I recently asked Jewish students at a leading UK university if they saw a future for themselves here. Not one said yes. Today Hatzolah ambulances, whose sole purpose is to save life - ANY life - are burned in London. A country where Jews no longer feel they have a future is already in crisis.

I’ve written to every Member of Parliament today. Proposals before Parliament would remove jury trials from offences carrying up to three years in prison. Freedoms rarely vanish overnight. They are chipped away in the name of efficiency. Juries did not cause the crisis in our courts. Removing them will not fix it. When the state seeks to take someone’s liberty for serious offences, the judgment of ordinary citizens should never be optional. This is close to becoming law. Please read the letter. Contact your MP now.

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. My grandfather arrived here as a refugee, a Holocaust survivor and helped build the life and the democracy I stand in. Now denial grows. Antisemitism shapeshifts into “debate,” into “what about,” into language that makes hatred feel normal. He was saved by a country that chose courage. What kind of country will we choose to be? The responsibility to remember and to speak up is now ours @HMD_UK #bridginggenerations

@danielwynne_ Daniel I wish you a long life

Some personal news. My mum sadly passed away this afternoon after suffering with dementia for 5 years. In the end it was quick and unexpected . I’m grateful for her love and unconditional support throughout my life. Sleep well mum x

On the second anniversary of October 7, we remember the lives cruelly taken, the hostages still held and the grief that endures. Mourning the innocent is not a partisan act, it’s the beginning of our shared humanity.

On the holiest day of the year we are attacked at a Manchester synagogue. Our children walk to school behind barbed wire protected by guns. Yet some still answer this atrocity with “what about…” This is my country, the sanctuary my grandfather found after surviving the Holocaust, promising freedom under the rule of law. Today I pray for the victims, thank the brave who responded and wonder if that promise is fading. A community this small cannot stand alone. If you believe in Britain (wherever you’re from & whatever your faith) you must stand with us. Many Jews cannot imagine a future here and history tells us what follows when that happens.

My grandfather, a Holocaust survivor who had touched the face of tyranny, sometimes went to Speakers’ Corner. He would listen even to the most deplorable things and say: in a free country you can do that, because we are free. Free speech isn’t a luxury, it’s the foundation of democracy. When someone is shot standing on a stage speaking their beliefs, that’s beyond tragedy: it’s a warning. We must defend not only the right to speak, but the safety of ALL those who do.

When your mum gets a Doctorate (Hon) for her work in holocaust education and tells a full Canterbury Cathedral ‘We must never be bystanders we must never standby and how precious life - all human life - is’ It’s impossible to be prouder. @UniKentLive @yolandabrown @45AidSociety
