Anyway, some sad news…I was THE contender for a dream job. My literal dream job. 6 interviews & countless talks & meetings. They loved me. I’ve been told I didn’t get the job and the headhunter has advised me that I either close my account or don’t discuss my political opinions.

Starmer saying it's a shame BLM's getting tangled up w/ defunding the police is like ppl saying it's a shame BLM's getting mixed up w/ Israel. These ppl don't want us to join the dots bc they know once we do, it'll be clear that confronting 1 injustice means confronting them all.

I'll just say it: @Keir_Starmer is an antisemite. In his not-so-subtle conflation of anti-Zionism and antisemitism, he implies that all Jews want a nation-state, and those of us who don't must hate ourselves.

Want to know something sinister? Every teacher I've spoken to today says their school provides the Departments for Education and Health with regular updates on covid cases. The government has not published any statistics on the number of teachers who've died of coronavirus.

The BDS bill is having its first debate in parliament today, just hours after Israel launched its biggest Israeli military assault on the West Bank in years. At 2.30pm, Palestinian children will be dying in Jenin hospitals as Tory MPs tell us that to oppose this is anti-semitic.

Today the @guardian told me it has "taken the opportunity to remind our employee of the need to engage courteously on social media at all times. She has reflected on the tone of her posts and [...] has now deleted them." Weird, can't seem to find the word "apology" anywhere.

Meet Benjamin, a French-Israeli soldier/pervert. For some reason he thought he could get more dates by posting a photo of himself with a collection of displaced women's underwear.

The FA has put out a statement commemorating the victims, both Israeli and Palestinian. The idea it should light up Wembley with the flag of a state that is currently gearing up for genocide in Gaza is horrific and disgraces the dead. The sickening state of the UK media.

I question the value of gestures like lighting up Wembley. Many cherish the escapism of football as a politics-free zone But seeing as the FA insists on doing it, precisely how many Jews need to be lynched for them to be accorded the honour enjoyed by others? Or in what manner?

As I told Nick this morning, if in the 1930s MPs had abstained on a vote to stop my relatives from being slaughtered in Europe, I would have expected people in Britain to do everything in their power to get them to change course. Why don't we expect the same for Palestinians?

Let me get this straight: Charles pays himself rent to avoid tax. He bullies his tenants into bequeathing him their property. He expenses £10,000s of gardening for the few days/year he lets the public visit his mansion. If this were an MP, they'd have been sacked aeons ago.
