BREAKING: The Home Office is giving police new powers to restrict repeat protests like pro-Palestine marches.

Police can consider the ‘cumulative impact’ of protests on an area and could ban the protest / force it to move elsewhere.

If your response to Jewish people being stabbed to death and mowed down by a car in Manchester is “Gaza” you’re a charlatan and an antisemite and you need to get in the fucking bin.

I’ve had enough. Jews have had enough.

And you’re no ally of the Palestinian people if you behave like this.

HOPE not hate condemn the appalling, violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester which has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Our thoughts are with the Jewish community and all affected.

I am alarmed and upset by this emerging news of attacks at a synagogue on Yom Kippur.

The rise in religious hate crimes in this country is totally unacceptable - there is no excuse for antisemitism and no excuse for violence.

If you don’t like being called a racist, maybe don’t make a career of saying things that appeal to racists, don’t create a political party that keeps attracting racist candidates, don’t fawn over racist world leaders, and don’t make a convicted racist the guest of honour at your party conference.

People often claim it's a mistake to call far-right figures racist. But it's extremely telling how much they hate being called racist. Farage doesn't welcome it. He is afraid of it. And he has benefited from people's reticence about using it to describe his policies.

Hotels housing migrants are now YouTube content farms. Outrage = clicks. Clicks = cash: £10k–£20k a month, just for filming cruelty. Division is the business model.

Just the worst people imaginable: hurling the most insane, deliberately inflammatory drivel they can and then, at the slightest sign of pushback, hurling themselves squealing to the pitch clutching their shins, rolling around pretending to be injured, shouting for a red card.

I think that was Keir Starmer’s best speech as Labour leader, in part because he clearly believed most of it and the argument actually cohered and had some policy substance to it.

Starmer's speech won't convince the haters, but it was the best I've seen him give. Repositioned a lot of stuff in a good clear way, had a story to tell and a sense of mission. While I have plenty of nits to pick, it managed to address me not as a commentator, but as a person, which is a rare feat.

Is there a reason I ask that the Times are using a picture of asylum seekers in a boat to describe rules for migrants who came on legal routes such as skilled worker visas for doctors?
Tough new conditions to be imposed on migrants who want to settle in the UK will not apply to more than a million people who arrived in the UK under the post-Brexit immigration surge
Labour’s tough new rules will not apply to migrants already in UK
