I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.
Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.
Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

A rally organised by Tommy Robinson should be a slam dunk for a Labour government.
Most people will recognise it as being led by the far right (and will not identify themselves as such). Violence is predictable too.
The PMs and ministers should have been ready to respond immediately.

Mike Johnson wants us to stop framing the existential threats to our democracy as existential threats to our democracy. He wants us to think a weaponized DOJ, masked ICE kidnappers, the military occupation of cities and the extortion of universities and the media are "simple policy disagreements."
Mike Johnson: "People have got to stop framing simple policy disagreements in terms of existential threats to our democracy. You can't call the other side fascists and enemies of the state and not understand that there are some deranged people in our society who will take that as cues to act."

Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them.
This is getting very dark, very quick.

The only excuse for this mindset is that the truth is too unbearable. It is no less grotesque and unforgivable for that.

Certain people seem far more concerned that the Afghans were provided with asylum in the UK, rather than the somewhat larger issue of an data leak which put approximately 100,000 at increased risk to their lives and the MoD covering it up. We continue to abandon people needing safety.

The final nail in the coffin would be for this woman to be prosecuted for disclosing information on the Epstein file and sent to jail for life with Ghislaine.
Federal prosecutor Maurene Comey, who worked on the criminal cases of Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, and also a prosecutor in the recent trial of Sean Combs, was fired Wednesday, according to people familiar with the matter.
DOJ fires Maurene Comey, prosecutor involved in Epstein, Diddy cases
There was no specific reason provided for why Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James B. Comey, was fired.

Consider this ‘defence’; if a murderer is in a school, it is justified to blow up that school and kill the children not to neutralise any threat or to achieve any military objective but purely to punish the murderer.

I did not want to watch it; I forced myself to and it should be obligatory watching. The BBC decision not to air it is terrifying & shocking, particularly in light of Israel’s refusal to allow the media, including the BBC into Gaza or its prisons.

More than the entirety of the former budget of Trump abolished USAID to be spent on detention centres alone. A nationwide apparatus of camps capable of deporting 1million people per year (with no due process).

What % of this £billion allegedly paid to “households with a foreign national in them” is paid to Brits? No doubt he knows the answer to that question... Utterly malign, as he well knows.
This really is not getting the attention it should. The Tories' latest proposal is to exclude *any household that includes any foreign national from any benefit*.
And when asked about it, they keep citing small boat crossings - a minute fraction of migration - to justify it. ~AA

“Households with foreign nationals”???? Current Tory spiel: “don’t go partnering up with no foreigner - like…it’s not right” so you’ll be lose benefit entitlements…Incoherent, racist, nationalist nonsense, as we’ve come to expect.
