Dear Rishi Sunak. You are allowing xenophobic hysteria to ruin the UK. Foreign students and their dependents bring huge amounts of money into this country. They are one of our main export earners. They help fund the universities, which are the basis of our future prosperity. By coming here, they build personal and cultural contacts between the UK and the rest of the world, which are hugely important for our future success. All of this you risk destroying by pandering to xenophobia. The most successful nations will be those that are open to the world. Your Tory Britain will be paranoid little backwater impoverishing itself economically and culturally by fear of foreigners whipped up by cynical politicians whose personal success and wealth are entirely disconnected from the welfare of ordinary British people.
@AlasdairGold I don't care what the score is tomorrow - bring him on for the last 5 minutes. He deserves a proper send off from a packed stadium. What a player in his prime!

Van Jones, as always, is a ray of light in dark times, speaking up when others choose to remain silent. Thank you for your solidarity!
Has anyone on the allegedly pro-Palestinian side ever explained how the leaders of Hamas and Fatah all became billionaires and live in incredible luxury while leading a group of refugees that require an incredible amount of aid per capita just for basic necessities?
Dear fellow non-Jews. Antisemitism in the UK has exploded by 1350%. Please form a protective ring around British Jews with whatever plays to your strengths.
Words, actions, both.
Form a ring.
Starmer has written in the Express that he will not restore Freedom of Movement.
Please retweet if you want our Freedom of Movement restored.
We were robbed of our right to live, work, study, and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.
Imagine being a Jewish man or woman living outside of Israel, especially in the Western world (US, UK, Canada), and seeing hundreds of thousands of people — of various ethnicities and around the world — cheering the slaughter of your people in the Jewish homeland. Imagine trying to figure out where the safest place would be for you and your family.
Now, multiply that by 1,000 and you may get a small glimpse of what our Jewish brothers and sisters are experiencing right now.
All of us in the UK who are not Jewish - an immense, an overwhelming majority - have a responsibility in these troubled times to make our Jewish fellow-citizens feel valued & safe. A responsibility that clearly right now we are failing to meet. It shames the country.
When members of Congress share images of Assad’s massacre of Syrian civilians and attribute them to supposed actions by the Israeli government in Gaza, they are actively endangering Jewish lives.
Beyond reprehensible, @IlhanMN.
A powerful and emotional statement by Lucy Aharish, who is a Muslim Israeli-Arab.
Yes, the Israeli-Arab/Palestinian community in Israel is horrified by Hamas. These BDS people protesting in the streets of the US & UK represent Hamas, not people like Lucy.
BREAKING:
More and more reports of an ongoing intimidation campaign in Berlin targeting Jews.
People are marking houses were Jews live and Jewish-owned stores with a Star of David.
I am writing a piece discussing the insane proliferation of viral Syria videos purported to be from Israel-Palestine.
If you come across any of these videos, please DM me.
If you are an editor at a publication who would like to work with me, please DM me.
This must stop.
