[Mike Short @MikeShort8]

@MetCC Thanks, I have done so

[Mike Short @MikeShort8]

@metpoliceuk I am trying to speak to someone to get an update on a crime I reported, and to provide additional information which might be helpful. But the phoneline and website seem determined to direct me to each other. Any chance I could speak to someone who can help?

[UNISON Yorkshire & Humberside @unisonyh]

This is your last chance to have your say on the new school support staff negotiating body (SSSNB).

UNISON's consultation closes tomorrow.

[Dave Rich @daverich1]

The Green Party motion on Zionism is antisemitic from first principles, extremist in its call for Israel to be eliminated, and likely to be anti-Jewish in its impact. A grim day for British Jews. https://t.co/ki5XTjN7VK

[Mike Short @MikeShort8]

@GlenMitchell1 Those 3 are at odds with their party's policy, unfortunately.

[Mike Short @MikeShort8]

@CarolineLucas This statement seems to be inconsistent with the newly-passed Green Party policy, unfortunately.

[Luciana Berger @lucianaberger]

Asking Jews to pass a purity test and renounce self-determination according to a perverse interpretation arbitrarily applied, isn't just an extreme position, it’s a racist one.

That’s before we consider the Green party is now backing violent dismantling of Israel.
