Farage having access to £72 million is a democratic catastrophe. But the biggest risk is this. Farage may very well be taken out by his financial scandals. Without Farage, Reform UK could go the way of UKIP, and be taken over by random extremists - who'll then have access to obscene levels of cash.
Me on a family holiday to New York in August 2001. I was nine years old. 9/11 was the first major news event I can remember. It had a lasting impression having visited NYC a few weeks earlier. Hard to believe it was a quarter of a century ago. Thinking of all the victims and their families today.
Criticism of Israel is not automatically motivated by antisemitism. But sometimes it is. Assessing motivation is hard. Israel warrants much criticism and there are many sneaky antisemites. But those who say that criticism is always/never antisemitically motivated are pushing inaccurate narratives.
The UK Chief Rabbi is wrong. It is not Ed Miliband endangering Jews but Netanyahu's govt and settler fascists giving antisemitic extremists all the content they need to radicalise people against Israel and Jews everywhere. We Jews must fight this poisonous ideology hijacking our state & religion.
Trump should be talking about the 2,977 victims of 9/11, but is instead making up a melodramatic story about himself that no one on the planet could believe he waited 25 years to share for the first time. And the Americans claiming to be the biggest patriots are those who still applaud him.
I encourage everyone to listen to Ed Miliband's full statement announcing the UK ban on Israeli West Bank settlement goods. It perfectly captures the anguish of many of us UK Jews who don't want to see Israel destroyed but who are increasingly horrified at Israel's barbarism against Palestinians.
UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announces a ban on Israeli imports from West Bank settlements and sanctions against companies that support illegal settlement activity. "To those who finance or facilitate illegal settlements... you will face the full force of UK sanctions. Settlements are illegal."
