@Royal_Greenwich the #magazinelive event in North Greenwich is really loud and you can hear the base really loud on Humber Rd , Halstow Rd. What are the db conditions on this music event as we’re up the hill!

@Blackheath_UK @Royal_Greenwich Hearing it in Shooters Hill, Moordown. We are trying to get a toddler to sleep in a heatwave. Total disgrace @Royal_Greenwich

Anyone else feel like airports passport queues are the eternal Brexit punishment?

@ShippersUnbound And if anyone was wondering where the Corbyn nutters went. Here they are.

@charles_watts You could just see that if anything was going to happen for us it was going to come through him.

@LiamShrivastava Yeah it sounds like it. Since when was local politics about twinning with a town in Palestine? Help the young people in your borough struggling for housing and jobs.

You may not agree with me, but you will always know where you stand with me.

Today in Billericay, a heckler tried to shout me down as I spoke about the normalisation of hatred towards Jews. I did not back down, because it needs to be said. British Jews are being targeted and too many people are pretending this is the same experience of other minorities. This lady implied Muslims are being similarly targeted. This is simply not true.

Let's be honest about what is happening. Certain groups (in particular but not solely Islamic Extremists) are creating a climate of fear and intimidation that is normalising Jew hatred. I will never stand for that. Governments have spent too long hand-wringing, making excuses and hoping it would go away. It is time to call this what it is: a national emergency in our attitude, our urgency and our response.

I will always engage with people who disagree with me. That is politics. But there is a difference between argument and intimidation. Shouting does not make a bad case good. It's done to silence others. And it certainly does not change the truth.

The truth is that British Jews have been made to feel less safe in their own country. Our country. They are being singled out, threatened and harassed in ways that should shame everyone in public life. If we do not stand up now and stop this rise in antisemitism, then why bother saying "Never Again" at Holocaust Memorial Day? Because this is how it starts.

I am not prepared to play along with the pretence that this is normal, or manageable, or just another example of tension between groups. It really is not. It is targeted hatred and it is getting worse.

So my message is simple. Not here. Not in Britain. And not on our watch. We need to stop the hand-wringing and start doing the right thing. That means standing with British Jews openly, unapologetically and without fear.

@NiohBerg Probably the weirdest thing I have seen in ages.

[Heidi Bachram @HeidiBachram]

Last night Hollywood actress @Florence_Pugh said at a star-studded pro-Palestine concert in London that “empathy should not be this hard”. Has she ever shown any for the hostages being starved in Gazan tunnels? For the innocents who were murdered like my husband’s family.

[Damien Clarkson @damienclarkson]

@AyoubKhanMP Honestly disgraceful. Away support is part of the atmosphere of a match.

[Damien Clarkson @damienclarkson]

@nicolelampert Because the government is pandering to its constituency. It is terrible. What happened to demanding Hamas left power?

[Damien Clarkson @damienclarkson]

@HenMazzig What happened to the U.K. government demands Hamas leave power?

[Campaign Against Antisemitism @antisemitism]

The Together for Palestine concert at Wembley Arena was a deeply concerning display of one-sided rhetoric and inflammatory falsehoods against the world’s only Jewish state.

Comparisons of Israel to Nazi Germany at the event constituted grotesque Holocaust inversion, explicitly recognised as antisemitic under the International Definition of Antisemitism.

By failing to address the true origins of the conflict and by glorifying Palestinian ‘resistance’ without condemning terror, the event gave cover to antisemitism and the delegitimisation of Israel.

Celebrities who lent their platforms to such messaging may have intended to show solidarity with suffering, but in doing so they amplified falsehoods and fuelled hatred.
