I haven't watched BBC Question Time in 15 years. I now think it's a terribly boring and insubstantial show. But I wondered whether I'm alone in this? Well, I looked at viewing figures over the past decade and they've halved.

'Starmer has literally just ignored me.'

Rhiannon Whyte's mother says she has nothing left to do other than to reach out to Elon Musk and Donald Trump to try and find justice for her daughter, who was murdered by an illegal migrant.

If you disagree with Keir Starmer he will call you racist, far right and goodness-knows-what.

He is completely out of touch.

Aren’t you the twat who lied that 14,000 Gazan babies would starve in 48 hours? And not one baby starved. In the entire war.

A vote for the Conservatives is a vote telling the SNP and Labour that their war on domestic oil and gas must end.

There’s only one candidate who can beat the SNP in Aberdeen South, and that’s @DLumsden_MSP .

Remember, Labour said the introduction of VAT of school fees was to pay for extra teachers.

There are FEWER teachers under Labour.

Here's my @Telegraph column, 'Zack Polanski wants a Jew register. What could be more sinister than that?'

https://t.co/l1z6YW44ez

I’ll say one thing for Zack Polanski: he knows a winning strategy when he sees one. When he became leader of the Greens last September, he spotted straight away that the secret to boosting the party’s poll ratings – and thus electoral success – was straightforward. Dump the green stuff and focus on Gaza.

There was a ready-made group of voters for whom Gaza is the only issue that really matters, waiting to be courted by any party which turned itself into the anti-Israel train. That group fell into the Greens’ arms when Polanski arrived on the scene.

He has been masterly in his care of them, not least in his skilful elision of being anti-Israel with being Jewish himself. It provides a much-used “get out of jail free card” when the Greens’ professed anti-Zionism slips into accusations of barely disguised anti-Semitism.

But even by Polanski’s standards, his demand that any dual British-Israeli citizen who has fought for Israel against Hamas in Gaza has their name listed on a database – a list, in other words, of bad Jews – is breathtakingly blatant.

The Green leader has signed an open letter sent to Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, and Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, which calls on the Government to act in the name of “public safety and justice” to “track the movements of Brits who have served in the IDF” and “subject them to secondary screening where necessary at ports of entry”. Britons, that is, who just happen to be Jews.

Israel has national service, and all Israeli citizens (with the exception – which is deeply controversial in Israel – of some religious groups) are conscripted to the IDF at 18. Many have been called up as reservists when they are older.

Polanski is thus calling for a large proportion of British-Israeli dual citizens to be listed on a database. “Nobody wants to live next to a potential war criminal,” the letter organised by campaign group Declassified UK states. Presumably then, Polanski wishes to refuse entry to or deport any British-Israeli who has served in the IDF.

You will notice one obvious element to this demand. There are wars on every continent. There are accusations of war crimes in all those conflicts. But Polanski has said not a word about British dual citizens – or even those of sole UK nationality – who have fought in any of those wars, either ongoing or historic.

I wait, for example, for Polanski to demand a list of dual-nationality Britons who fought in one of the most brutal post-1945 conflicts, the 1971 Bangladesh war of independence. The nine-month conflict led to the death of up to three million Bengalis and the displacement of 10 million refugees into India.

This is not merely historic. War crime investigations are still going on. But no Israelis were involved (let’s be honest: no Jews). So Polanski is silent – not least because many new Green voters are drawn from those communities.

By signing the letter, Polanski doesn’t only demand that Britons who have fought in Gaza be put on a database. He goes far beyond that. The letter calls says “travellers with Israeli travel documents or arriving from an origin of Tel Aviv airport” should be subject to “potential secondary screenings at ports of entry”. For Polanski then, any Israeli should be marked out for special screening.

As for the allegation of genocide against Israel, it is, at the very least, hotly contested. But there is a well-founded allegation of genocide against the Chinese in its treatment of the Uyghurs. Does Polanski demand that any Chinese national arriving in the UK is deemed a suspected war criminal? Of course he doesn’t.

If Jews aren’t involved, neither Polanski nor any of his fellow Greens could give a damn. Polanski may be Jewish, but his party’s strategy could hardly be clearer.

Such a powerful message from @VP

This is a shot across the bows for the borderless planet / one- world government / 'humanity is nothing but a data-set' vision that drives so much policy without our awareness....

Thank you jd vance.
Immigration is important and inevitable.
But we need a modernised plan.

This is the absolute truth. Imagine if dietitians and medical students were taught this as a routine fact. It's not going to stop the obesity epidemic but, at least, it might help many solve their own weight problems (as it did mine).
Thanks @lowcarbGP @drjenunwin and @BittenJonsson. Some of the most important work in the medical sciences.
