Love this guy deciding for me that i've removed myself from my own community.
What a bizarre thing to say.
That's before he even gets on to defending John Mann! 🤣

I suspect that David Hirsh has had enough of Zack Polanski dining out on his Jewish heritage while having largely removed himself from the community. John Mann is perfectly capable of recognising antisemitism, and he is a respected friend of the Jewish community.

It beggars belief that a Labour govt would ride roughshod over health unions when deciding on NHS pay.
This announcement will simply increase the problems of low pay that has seen thousands of healthcare workers leave, worsening the recruitment and retention crisis in our NHS.
