This is Emily Schrader @emilykschrader, not long after October 7, looking into a camera and asking a question the fashion accounts and the safe-seat politicians never answered.
“Where were you when Palestinians were slaughtered in Syrian camps. Where were you when Lebanon wrote them out of work and land. Where were you when the Palestinian Authority tortured its own prisoners and beat Nizar Banat to death for opening his mouth. Where were you when Hamas dragged alleged collaborators through the streets of Gaza, put rockets under schools, and put rifles in the hands of children.”
“I am not asking anyone to stop caring about civilians in Gaza. I am asking why the caring only starts when the army in the frame is Israeli. Arab states would not take the refugees even for a season. Hamas stole the fuel and the aid and called it resistance. If the only outrage you can find in that whole history is Israel, you are not protecting Palestinian lives. You are protecting a story about Jews.”
She says the quiet part at the end and she is right. The surest way to stop using Gaza as a shield is to destroy the people who built the shield. The names on this broadcast have had three years to prove her wrong. Most of them just got louder.
About 650,000 people leave the UK every year. According to the dinner-party version of events, they are mostly millionaires, packing the Range Rover, the Labrador, and the last functioning sense of humour.
About 800,000 people arrive. In the same version of events, they are mostly poor immigrants, arriving with nothing except a form, a cousin, and a better reason to stay than the people who just left.
The country waves goodbye to the ones who can afford the ticket, then wonders why the tax base feels lighter.
The country welcomes the ones who cannot, then wonders why the waiting lists feel longer.
Net result: fewer people who pay for the lights, more people who need them on.
And still the official line is that this is a skills-based system.
The skills, apparently, are leaving.
No country, however rich, can survive such statistics.

Reform and Nigel Farage have finally made a response to our offer in the Daily Telegraph - I will go through their four conditions…
The Reform Chairman, Lee Anderson, has said Reform will not step aside in any constituencies. Reform should ‘always’ be on the ballot paper.
Meaning that Reform plan to run in every seat, even if there is an arrangement. This is not a constructive start.
I have been realistic. Clearly, the whole point of any arrangement would be not to divide the electoral force. That would mean certain Restore Britain candidates standing aside to ensure a sensible and pragmatic approach to our voting system.
If Reform are not willing to reciprocate in any constituencies, any at all, the offer I have made is entirely redundant.
They have also said we must endorse Farage to be Prime Minister, and allow the failed Conservative ministers to again be part of a future cabinet.
Contrary to reports, I have never said that Reform must dump anybody. That is not my place to do so. It is their party, it is entirely Reform’s choice who they run to be MPs or employ - it is putting these same ministers who failed Britain into a future cabinet which Restore Britain has helped to empower that I take issue with. Restore Britain will not be responsible for handing Nadhim Zahawi, Nadine Dorries and others some of the most powerful jobs in the country.
Farage and Reform have also said that Restore Britain must outright sack Charlie Downes - putting a young Christian man out of work, just as he is looking to build his life and start a family.
That is simply not how I operate.
But I want to be clear - if a sensible reciprocal arrangement can be found on our proposed policy platform, we would be willing to stand our Restore Britain candidates aside in certain seats in order to defeat the left-wing alliance. For any political party, that is a big step to make - country before party.
Reform have just outright rejected doing the same. If that position continues, then this whole exercise is futile.
A deal will mean give and take on both sides. I’ve been in business long enough to know that.
Our original offer was focused on policy, their response is about personality.
After all of the bad blood, if we focus on personality and ego, we will get nowhere. That much is obvious from the last seven days.
Our papers on economics, energy, deportations, policing and much more show exactly what can be delivered - properly considered policy must be central to everything.
The place to start this negotiation is on policy. Find common ground, sort out the clear differences, build on that and go from there.
Restore Britain remains open to good faith talks where both parties understand the brutal electoral reality we are facing.
