Today the ANC asked for your forgiveness. Then proceeded to table an unfunded budget, in a city that their own finance minister declared bankrupt.
You be the judge.
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.
Reform's detention centre policy has lifted the veil on their critics.
The open-borders brigade Left finally admit living next to migrants is punishment and unwanted.
And Restore are conjuring faux outrage that DETAINED migrants are somehow unsafe for communities (wtf?) - with the alternative being the status quo where illegal migrants are free to roam the streets of Britain. Mental gymnastics at its best.
Interesting
You are either with the UAE or with the evil Islamic regime. No silence is accepted. Right now, the Islamic regime in Iran is targeting my beloved country, the UAE, with drones and missiles. The UAE is crushing them, intercepting, destroying, and defending not just its land, but the safety of over 200 nationalities who call it home. Stand clear. Choose your side. UAE is safe and strong.
Today we announce a new policy:
In order to deport all illegal migrants in Britain, Reform will need to detain tens of thousands at a time.
Migrants will not be able to leave these detention centres, and each will be held there a couple of weeks before being deported.
So here’s our promise:
A Reform government will not put any migrant detention facilities in any constituency with a Reform MP.
Nor will we put them where Reform controls the council.
And of the remaining areas, we will prioritise Green controlled parliamentary constituencies and Green controlled councils to locate the detention centres.
Put simply, if you vote in a Reform council or Reform MP, we guarantee you won’t have a detention centre near you.
If you vote Green, there’s a good chance you will.
This is an important exercise in democratic consent, not just for our mass deportation policy, but for where the detention centres are placed.
Given @ZackPolanski openly advocates for open borders, I look forward to their warm embrace of this policy.

You're a bright lad @owenjonesjourno. What did you think the slogan "Globalise The Intifada" meant?
It means "Kill Jews Across The Globe". Don't pretend to be surprised and upset when people act on the slogan.
The uncomfortable answer from moderate Arabs and Muslims:
“Many more will emerge, until you stop giving liberal freedoms to radical Islamists who misuse them and who blackmail you using ‘Islamophobia’ to shield their violent hateful agendas.”
You’re welcome. 🌹
If Israel stood accused of paying local criminals to firebomb British mosques, our streets would be filled with outrage.
But when an Iran-linked group is accused of targeting synagogues?
We don’t see solidarity. We see silence and conspiracy theories blaming the Jews instead.
One IDF soldier destroys a statue of Jesus:
- The IDF condemns it
- The Prime Minister of Israel condemns it
- Israelis condemn it
Thousands of Hamas terrorists slaughter 1,200 Jews on Oct 7:
- Hamas leaders celebrate it
- Most Gazans celebrate it
- The world half-condemns it
I think the ANC Sec Gen will find that there is a biblical level storm underway in Cape Town. The floods here are caused by rain, not broken pipes that never get fixed. And when they do break, they do get fixed. Good luck with the narrative.
Last night, another Jewish synagogue in London was firebombed, this time in Kenton.
This is the third such attack in as many days, and also comes after the recent ambulance arson attack and a supposed drone threat against the Israeli embassy in London this week.
This is now becoming a terrifying spate of daily arson attacks on the Jewish community. It betrays a cataclysmic failure of the state – politicians, police chiefs and prosecutors – to tackle antisemitic extremism in this country, which has gone largely unchecked for two and a half years.
Britain is fundamentally a different country now.
Still the Government refuses to proscribe Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, an obvious first step to address foreign radicalisation and interference.
It is shocking if apparent concern for the sensitivities of a violent Iranian regime is more important to the Government than the welfare of Jewish people in this country.
Liar. You say there is "no place" for anti-semitism in London. That's not true. You, as @MayorofLondon, allow blatant and outrageous anti-semitism on our streets every day and en masse at marches every other Saturday and you do NOTHING. We see you.
Let me save you time. Any Israeli official who watches this speech by President Aoun of Lebanon, will say this: Zeh lo holekh (Hebrew for this will not work). Why?
This is how Aoun frames what's happening:
Israel, the intrinsically evil state, launched an aggression on Lebanon (never mind that it was Hezbollah that started the war on Oct, 8, 2023). If the premise is incorrect, the conclusion will be equally as delusional.
Aoun is willing to do what it takes, including talking to Israel (imagine! So please Lebanese Shia don't call him a traitor, as he implies) to achieve these objectives, in this order:
1. Stopping Israeli "aggression" on Lebanon
2. Israeli withdrawal
3. Return of the displaced Lebanese southerners
4. State monopolizes power (i.e. pretends Hezbollah does not exist anymore).
This speech is not historic in ways that match the hype in Washington. It does not offer anything new. In fact, what Aoun proposes in this speech is less than what Hezbollah cabinet and its ally Speaker Berri signed on in November 2024: Enforcement of UNSC Resolution 1701 (disarm Hezbollah), then Israel stops policing the militia (war) and withdraws from Lebanese territory. Now Aoun is reshuffling the order, which guarantees Israel will not even bother listen to him.
Lebanon is stuck. Its president, prime minister and cabinet are too weak and not talented. Hezbollah is too strong. In fact, a journalist in Hezbollah threatens Lebanese Prez and PM with death, publicly, and gets away with it. With such weak posture and useless sophistry, the Lebanese state can never overcome the Hezbollah militia with its aggressive posture toward the state (threatening that mobs would sweep government offices, force it to collapse, start a civil war, beat the state).
Like I started my note above, whatever the Lebanese state and officials are doing, is not going to work. Unless they change their position and behavior, substantially, Lebanon will live in perpetual war (regardless of the U.S. - Iran track).
This was Helen Zille’s response to the questions posed by Nigel Park.
Something the original video seeks to deliberately cut out.
It’s why he also got up and left the meeting, he did not want to sit and talk.
I watched the full interview twice because I couldn’t believe that Sky News would air a 7:37-minute edited interview about Lebanon, with a full crew and producers who must have reviewed it, without mentioning Hezbollah ONCE.
Forget bias against Israel. Forget that the headline “Lebanon Bombardment” is, at best, half the story. What kind of journalism is this?
This piece, like much of Sky News’ coverage, creates a made-up reality in which Israel is bombing Lebanon for no apparent reason, indiscriminately.
What about the terror group that has called for Israel’s destruction since 1982 and effectively taken control of the country? What about the fact that Hezbollah launched an unprovoked attack on October 8, 2023, and again in March 2026, while a ceasefire was still in effect? What about the Lebanese people and government, who say they want nothing more than to see Hezbollah lose power, yet know they can’t achieve it alone?
@SkyNews, do you honestly believe your viewers received truthful, accurate information from this piece? Are these your standards of journalism?
