@ChrisHale23 She’s introduced vast numbers of children to the pleasures of reading, is one of the UK’s greatest cultural exports, and has stood up for truth - and, above all, women - demonstrating extraordinary courage and eloquence in the face of vile abuse. Why should she not?

The torment of British Jews https://t.co/k0KsczNEcQ I wrote this two years ago - saddest thing I ever wrote. They've been here SO long and given us SO much. Why aren't we protecting them from the scum who are terrorising them?

[Noa Hoffman @hoffman_noa]

Here we damn go again...

But never forget that according to the Guardian comment section, attacks against Jews are mere “small acts of petty symbolism”

And for Zack Polanski there is a discussion to be had about whether these racist acts of violence are simply a "perception"

Such a great time to be Jewish, truly

Gail’s bags - emblazoned with the words ‘a small act of petty symbolism’ (what Guardian writer Jonathan Liew called a Gail’s having its windows smashed in) are left outside the Guardian’s office.
How very ‘heavy handed high street aggression’.

[Max Mitchell @MaxJMitchell1]

@Tom_Doyle_ Wonderful book. Could you follow back so I can DM you?

[Joshi Herrmann @joshi]

Why are there SO many fires destroying historical buildings in Glasgow? Tonight’s tragedy is just the latest.

@theglasgowbell mapped them. ‘With every conflagration there are whispers that there’s slightly more to things than meets the eye’.

Stay classy, Scottish Labour
