Jews, like all British citizens, should not have to hide their (my) identity to feel safe. This is a crisis.
The elision in so many minds between Jews and Israel - Jews and support for the Israeli government - is pure cancerous antisemitism (and of course violence against Jews would never be justifiable even when they do support Netanyahu, and I feel slightly sick this needs saying).
If you have ever suffered prejudice because of the colour of your skin, or your sexuality, or your gender or your faith, you will presumably empathise with what I am saying. We are one family.
Antisemitism, like a toxic proliferating weed, needs digging up by the roots. As one part of its eradication, leaders of all faiths and all political persuasions must stand up and call out this most pernicious and ignorant of hate ideologies
"Why isn't there a call for a huge rally in London this weekend of every committed anti-racist in the country?"
Journalist Jonathan Freedland calls for greater solidarity with the Jewish community following the terror attack in Golders Green.
#Newsnight
"If you want to understand the actual threat that Jews face, just turn on the news today."
After the Golders Green stabbings, @sarahsackman pushes back on Zack Polanski questioning whether Jewish people face 'a perception of unsafety or actual unsafety'.
March another record breaking month for @TheNewsAgents. More downloads and YouTube views than ever before. Over *fifty million* views on social platforms. Testament to a truly incredible production team.
Thanks so much to so many of you for watching/listening!
At Minneapolis airport, @maitlis watches on as shackled ICE deportees board an aircraft.
"It's one of the most dystopian, the most chilling things, I think i've ever witnessed."
"The plane doesn’t have a name or number, it’s a 'dark plane' - it doesn’t officially exist."
@piersmorgan As a Sky Blues fan, it is sad to see how he is being used or not used at Arsenal. His strengths are moving centrally from the flanks where he uses his explosive pace, strength and finishing to score. Currently it seems that he is told to stay in the middle without any service!
"It was targeting Jews for being Jews."
"That's why I think the Jewish community feels that something has changed in the antisemitism that is being felt now."
@maitlis and @jonsopel reflect on the Bondi Beach attack that saw 16 people murdered whilst celebrating Hanukkah.
"No one knows why."
A recent YouGov poll says the number of young people who actively have faith has doubled in the last six years... it's called the “Quiet Revival“.
What’s going on with young people and God? @maitlis investigates.
Full episode + podcast coming soon. 🎧
I joined @jamieoliver on @TheNewsAgents to talk about his powerful documentary and why I want to work with him to build a more inclusive, support-first system that ensures every child, including those with additional needs, can achieve & thrive at school.

“These past few months have toughened us as Canadians. Do what you can: buy Canadian - and NEVER be the 51st state.”
At an election night watch party, @jonsopel saw Liberal candidate Liane Kotler lose her seat - but depart with a powerful message.
"We 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 to believe women while they are alive. We cannot wait for them to die before saying 'Oh, ok, maybe she 𝘸𝘢𝘴 in pain.'"
@maitlis reflects on Virginia Giuffre - a woman unafraid to point the finger at those in power - who took her own life aged 41.
