I'm the only Jewish leader of a political party. I'm a victim of Antisemitism every day and I've made it clear Jewish people are welcome in my party. You're a Prime Minister who arms a genocide and locks pensioners up for opposing it.

Corbyn was attacked, Polanski ( who is Jewish) is being attacked. Sally Rooney is being attacked. Anyone in a position of power who supports oppressed Palestinians is attacked by the UK establishment media. A media who are increasingly out of touch with public opinion.

Gaza has faced intensified airstrikes over the past 24 hours. I’ve just checked the BBC, Sky News and Guardian websites. Not a single mention. This is how genocide is normalised.

Always remember this: Under international law, a people under military occupation have the right to resist that occupation. They have a LEGAL RIGHT to fight. The occupying army is the terrorist entity not the resistance movement.

A lot of what Trump has done can be undone the minute he’s gone. THIS, however, cannot: the fact that all of America's allies now know that in any four year period, a single man can rip up all treaties, social norms, and economic partnerships. America is no longer a country they can trust. America is no longer a country with which long-term deals can be made. America is no longer a country that prioritizes peace. Most countries will likely grow their military as a result. Most countries will likely make deals with other countries as a result. This damage will likely take more than a generation to START to be undone, if ever. And THAT will be MAGA’s legacy.

This underlines the madness of British political discourse. The Israeli state is boasting about the ethnic cleansing of southern Lebanon. But the outrage here is all about the Green Party passing a motion describing Israel's official ideology as racism.
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: The thorough cleansing that we are carrying out now in southern Lebanon is unprecedented. They have nowhere to return to. Look at how it looks. And by the way, the world isn’t stopping us.

Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich just said the quiet part out loud. He called the operation in southern Lebanon an “unprecedented thorough cleansing,” said the people there have nowhere to return to, and bragged that the world isn’t stopping them. That’s not a denial. That’s an admission. Every claim that “ethnic cleansing isn’t happening” just got debunked by one of their own ministers—on camera, proudly. x.com/clashreport/status/210…

What an extraordinary historical own goal. Yes, Ireland played Nazi Germany. So did numerous European countries before the Second World War. And yes, the Irish team gave the Nazi salute in Bremen in 1939, an episode that looks appalling today and shouldn’t be whitewashed. But here’s the part you conveniently forgot. In 1936 it was the German team giving the Nazi salute at Dalymount Park, not the Irish team. Ireland then beat them 5–2. And one of the Irishmen who gave that salute in Germany in 1939 was Johnny Carey. Do you know what he subsequently did? He joined the British Army and fought against Nazi Germany. Nor was Ireland unique in this respect. England and other national teams also gave the Nazi salute or performed similar gestures at matches and official occasions in the 1930s, when sporting exchanges with Nazi Germany were still taking place. That context does not excuse the gesture, but it does make it absurd to present Ireland’s 1939 match as uniquely revealing of some supposed national sympathy for Nazism. So dragging up an 87-year-old football match to smear today’s Irish players is not the devastating historical argument you apparently think it is. More importantly, there’s a breathtaking irony in invoking the Nazis to silence criticism of the actions of a modern government. The lesson of the 1930s isn’t that governments should be immune from criticism because of their national or religious identity. It’s precisely the opposite, states, governments and armies must be judged by what they actually do. Ireland’s players lowering their heads harms nobody. You can dislike it. You can call it disrespectful. But reaching back to 1939 because you can’t cope with Irish footballers expressing disapproval of Israel’s conduct in 2026 isn’t an argument. It’s a diversion. And if your best defence of what Israel is doing today is “but look what some Irish footballers did before the Second World War”, you’ve rather spectacularly conceded the present-day argument. Disgraceful
