Rising anti-semitism predictable, given impunity of IDF, UK Govt complicity with genocide, and failure of Chief Rabbi, JC and BOD to condemn the war criminals on both sides.
I am disgusted by images of an antisemitic mob in Dagestan.
The global rise in antisemitism & Islamophobia is terrifying. Hatred does nothing to generate solidarity or bring about peace.
We cannot lose our common humanity. In times of darkness, it's all we have left.
@skwawkbox https://t.co/Vm5nupzhKz Went to BBC Sounds to hear what followed,told it was edited out because it generated "more heat than light" & that Labour said claim Jewish members 4x more likely to be expelled than non-jews was false. No evidence from BBC &last word to Labour!
It's such a rarity for the BBC to allow its smear campaign against Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters be called out on air, I've subtitled this snippet from today's BBC World at One (#WATO) where the brilliant Ken Loach doesn't let Sarah Montague get away with repeating the smears

I think endorsements from our members are very important in the General Secretary Election. Who could know better what is needed than a long standing member.
Thrilled with this endorsement from former EC member Jill Murdoch.
Thanks Jill. I will ensure that there is never again any power hoarding or abuse of that power.
Members are what matter. They are our union.
Covid is an equalities matter. The pandemic is not over for the most vulnerable in society, or in our membership.
We know a new variant is taking hold. Now is the time to demand effective air filtration and the re-introduction of mandatory masks in public spaces, including on all public transport, especially as vaccines will be available to so few.
Too many of our frontline workers, and our members, have died avoidably due to this virus.
We need to encourage employers and the public to do what they can to minimise transmission, from masking up to self isolating when unwell.

The abuse of women in public life has to be stopped. Solidarity with Diane, and anyone else facing this completely unacceptable treatment from an organisation that should know better.
It's unacceptable that a billionaire politician who travels everywhere by helicopter should condemn our planet in this way.
A progressive Prime Minister would invest in energy capture along our railway network, harnessing renewable energy and using that to move people and goods
As the Officer for GTR, the death of our member Belly Mujinga and others must be remembered.
Front line workers put their lives at risk to keep essential services running at the height of the pandemic.
Lessons must be learned. As TSSA GS I would seek to work with other leaders and the TUC to establish a Health Risk Working group, combining efforts so our workers never again have to work in a way that risks their health.
We must demand air filtration in work places now, and the provision of N95 masks for our members before infection numbers reach another peak. We should should also be advocating for the return of face coverings in public places. https://t.co/mxyNGrX5qn
Last Thursday hundreds of people assembled outside the Separtment for Transport and marched to Downing Street. Trade unionists, disability activists and members of the travelling public were keen to make their voices heard as we all stood in opposition to proposed ticket office closures.
See what happened here:

The threatened closure of ticket offices is an equalities issue and risks the sustainability of our railway.
Proud to represent members as TSSA reps and I marched with our sister unions.
Promised pay deals have not been delivered.
Our members must decide what our next steps must be.
https://t.co/sJWTnxgpr2
As the next TSSA GS I will work with sister unions, as I have throughout my years as an industrial organiser at the TSSA to secure wins for our members, combining forces wherever we can for maximum leverage.
I'll let you call me Mick if it helps too!
