Home Secretary bans the Al Quds march to prevent serious disorder. But a static demonstration could still take place. Home Secretary says that police could apply strict conditions to it.

The BBC understands the Met Police Commissioner has written to the Home Secretary saying the controversial Al Quds Day march set to take place in London at the weekend should not be allowed to take place after concerns about pro Iranian & antisemitic & anti Israel hostility.

Two apologies from the Met police over Lord Mandelson’s arrest. They apologised to the Lord Speaker this morning after apologising to the Commons Speaker yesterday after their names were mistakenly revealed as giving police the tip off.

UK police to increase security around synagogues and other Jewish venues. As Chanukah marks Jewish survival and hope, some thoughts below ⬇️

Chanukah is the Jewish festival of lights. But yet again the darkness of antisemitism overshadows the community’s festivals. It is a tradition to light the Chanukah candles publicly, to place them in the windows of homes. To declare even in the darkest of times: there is light.

A Chanukah celebration in Bondi Beach, a Yom Kippur service in Manchester, Simchat Torah in Israel on October 7th. 3 Jewish festivals. 3 deadly attacks on Jews across different continents. An attack that again reverberates across Jewish communities worldwide. 1/2

Deborah Turness insists the BBC isn’t institutionally biased as she is doorstepped arriving at work this morning ⬇️

A large round of applause was heard in the BBC newsroom's management area after Deborah Turness spoke to her editorial leadership team and told them the organisation is not institutionally bias and people had to carry on doing BBC journalism.

Deborah Turness didn’t answer when asked if she thought the BBC board had acted against her.

Emily Damari asks for ban on Maccabi TA fans to be reconsidered. She’s such a fan she told Hamas she wouldn’t wear a red tracksuit on her release as it’s a rival club’s colour. She then led chants on the pitch. Her friends the Berman twins wore Maccabi TA shirts on their release.

Ex UK-Israeli hostage Emily Damari slams decision to ban fans of her team Maccabi Tel Aviv as “outrageous..disgusting..This is like putting a big sign on the outside of a stadium saying ‘no Jews allowed’..What has become of the UK where blatant antisemitism has become the norm.”

As Hamas & Israel appear to inch closer to a possible hostage deal, worth 5 mins of your time to watch ex-hostage Eli Sharabi’s 1st UK interview. The abuse, starvation, the moment he discovered his UK-Israeli family hadn’t survived & his total determination to live life.
