I’ve always been impressed by the bravery of some Jewish Israelis who opposed occupation and apartheid. Today they are rarer than ever. A voice crying in the wilderness.

Why do I feel so lonely inside?
‘Cause all of my society’s supporting genocide.
My father
Supporting genocide
My mother
Denying genocide
My brother
Committing genocide
My uncle
Demanding genocide

Here’s a short story about who wins and loses from the status quo of our inheritance tax rules - and about, what you might politely call ‘sub-optimal’ journalism🧵

As ever, since today is #Quince day in my household, I offer up a name origin story from an old poem near to my heart.

投我以木瓜
報之以瓊琚
匪報也
永以為好也

She threw a quince to me
In requital I threw a bright jade girdle-gem

No, not just as requital
But that I would love her for ever.
