When Jewish friends talk about a hostile environment on campus, this is it in practice — a candidate refusing to join a hustings rather than answer a question about antisemitism from a Jewish student.
Good to see JLM and UJS calling this out — we need to be an anti-racist party.
🇮🇱🇵🇸Revealed: A candidate running for chair of Scottish Labour Students is understood to have pulled out of a hustings event after objecting to the wording of a question about Hamas’ attacks on Israel and antisemitism – calling it “racist”:

When right-liberals advocate a state that does less things, they never say what specifically they want the state to stop doing. What substantial thing do they want the state to not provide that it currently does?
Jenrick has a strong message in his leadership pitch:
A small state that works, not a big state that fails.
The government has grown so big it has stretched itself too thin: taxes are high and state capacity is low.
Instead, imagine a government that does fewer things, better.

A person who dismisses the murder of Jewish children should not be a member of the Labour Party. Appalling.
If I were a lifelong "anti-racist" I would have simply not compared objections to the slaughter of innocent children to racist equivocation.

Conservatives keep saying “we don’t know what Labour will do in government” (despite reams upon reams of plans).
But I find it very peculiar that nobody is asking: what of earth would *they* in a 5 year government? Would Rishi even stay PM? Would he want to? Would they let him?

Notice that the critique is not ‘bad policy’ but ‘bad process’. Who cares!
Process is sclerotic, it takes months/years, the stadium needs fixing ahead of the 2028 Euros. For time sensitive decisions, it’s not just right but *essential* that No10 can bulldoze through blockage!

I think too few people grasp just how catastrophic upwards redistribution away from working age people has been. Tories waged war on working age people and now we can’t move to city centres, set up businesses, do jobs we thrive in, and so much more– *that’s* why there’s 0 growth!

It’s just insanity. Nobody has ever claimed there would be growth benefits to further enriching 600,000 of the very wealthiest (many of whom don’t even invest in British jobs, who have business empires abroad and live in London). Veneal class politics at its absolute worst.
When you listen to the Chancellor today, try to imagine how the Conservative Party would react if - with debt and interest payments at their current level - a Labour government announced a package of tax cuts targeted at *its* core vote paid for by a big increase in borrowing...

Does the Conservative Party truly want to destroy Britain and force every young person to leave? It is completely deranged to want to enslave young people in the service of a grotesque vanity project. I pray our generation never, ever, ever, forgets what they wanted to do to us.
National Service is a very interesting idea, but I’m seriously struggling to understand the Tory costings for it. They nowhere near add up.

Total disgrace! This is the short termist thinking that turned the NHS from the envy of the world into a shell of itself. The only way to fix the NHS is Labour long termism – reversing cuts, hugely increasing training, bringing doctors pay and hours back up to where it shld be!
Universities have been told they must limit the number of medical school places this year or risk fines, a move attacked as “extraordinary” when the NHS is struggling with staff shortages

Ah yes, devolving powers to franchise buses will cost an extra 900 million a year, that seems like a sensible and real costing.
Today, I’m releasing analysis by independent civil servants at the Treasury on Labour’s plans for office.
That shows a £38 billion black hole in their plans, which can only be fixed by further tax rises - the equivalent of £2100 per family.
