There is no place for these sorts of ‘security concerns’ @britishmuseum

[Nicole Lampert @nicolelampert]

It’s is a really dark day when a talk about the history of ancient Israel and Judah is cancelled by the British Museum because of ‘security concerns’.
Is this what we do now? We cave in?

Exc: Andy Burnham sits down for the first time since announcing his Westminster bid

There’s a lot on this interview, as he lays out a plan for a ‘new economy’, how him and Keir Starmer have different visions and he ‘100%’ gets why people have voted Reform https://t.co/Ckux93PV7L

There’s an exciting race on in Scotland just now and it’s getting a lot of interest. No of course it’s not the election. But who do the main party leaders want to win the Scottish Premiership? @ITVNewsPolitics

This video is less than two minutes long and I implore everyone to watch it. It is indeed rather extraordinary.

As Holocaust Awareness Ireland says, Patrick Kielty exhibits utter callousness with respect to the attacks on the Jewish community, astonishingly saying ‘the backdrop of that is obviously the horrors in Gaza, this is a complex thing.’

Boy George remains calm and says ‘if you don’t know any Jewish people maybe that’s the problem.’ He then asks the audience ‘do you know any Jewish people?’

Boy George is visibly taken aback by the ensuing silence, and vocalises his shock twice, remarking that it is ‘weird’ and ‘surprising me a little bit.’ Patrick looks uncomfortable and ends puts an end to the topic with a dismissive ‘mmm’.

Extraordinary viewing. Just extraordinary.

It can be tough being a Tory in Scotland. Now they’re being squeezed by the rise of Reform and their own record in Westminster.

Watch the full film in the link below, on the campaign trail behind the gloss with all 6 of Scotland’s main parties.

An ultra Orthodox man doing his job as a building inspector was working in Slough when he was physically attacked by a total stranger screaming ‘baby killer’ and ‘dirty mother f*cking Jew’ at him.
A friend of his has sent me this video telling me the man is now ‘afraid to leave his area, he is terrified for his life.’
As the most visibly obvious Jews, the community has extra security where they live but are increasingly frightened to leave their neighbourhood.
‘It is devastating that Jewish people can’t go anywhere without a high risk of being attacked,’ I was told.

🚔 @ThamesVP are investigating and seeking witnesses to the attack on Monday afternoon in Slough.

Exchange must have gone along these lines:
Govt: Please organise a Lord Mandelson security vetting.
Cabinet Office vetting agency: of course…

Cabinet Office agency: We’ve completed our vetting.
Govt: Was it done properly?
Cabinet Office agency: Yes

Looks like we are inching towards an Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire. It can’t come soon enough for the people of Lebanon.
