It you deny the connection between this and what happened at Bondi Beach you are part of the problem

The news from Bondi beach is grim. For many it will have terrible echoes of the massacres on October 7th. For Jews living here it will feel painfully close to the murders at a synagogue in Manchester. It is a reminder - if one was needed - that Jews all over the world now live in fear. If you struggle to understand that fear - you may not have any Jewish family or friends as it is a very small community - I urge you to think of the impact on the Muslim and, indeed, the wider community of the Christchurch mosque attack in New Zealand. Tonight Jews everywhere will light candles to mark the start of the festival of lights - Hanukkah. Few will feel able to celebrate. Many will be worrying about what might happen next.

There's not enough words to describe the contempt we should have for a Labour Government who thinks people like this should represent them - let alone cabinet ministers. Where are the MPs with decency and basic humanity? Where are their red lines? Beyond time to speak up.

The left is Gaza. The right is Hiroshima…

Of the last 20 terror attacks carried out in Britain, 15 were committed by Islamists. No more 'Don't look back in anger'. No more candles and flowers. We need to have an honest and sober discussion about the threat of a radical and dangerous ideology that is slowly but surely altering the face of our nation.

Suffice to say the reaction to the fixture list is never unexpected (!), but really do want to highlight the new Developmental Races funding which is a long-term step change No Flat or Jump Maiden/Novice race (other than Flat Cl5 restricted) to be worth less than £10k from 2026

All the best to Mani Dieseruvwe, who has departed Hartlepool United in order to pursue elsewhere opportunities. Mani leaves with our best wishes and sincere thanks for all his efforts whilst with Pools.
