By promoting the hoarding of unearned assets by the rich @KemiBadenoch will reproduce the inequalities that are choking the economy and restricting the opportunities of those who are not featherbedded by wealthy parents @bbclaurak #BBCLauraK

May those who live, work or holiday on top of this have nightmares about what lies beneath them. May they imagine the cries of the dying and may it keep them awake at night.
Keep it going @timfarron #lakesline. Huge asset. Part of our culture.

Nathan Cofnas, who pursed Jason Arday, thinks he’s some kind of martyr and reposts picture of himself on the cross. But don’t ban him from speaking at Oxford. Argue, mock, rebut, ridicule, contest instead independent.co.uk/voices/jas…
Dear me, @andyburnham @ShabanaMahmood.
Andreas Malm is a prominent academic at one of the top universities in the world. He was due to appear on Radio 4. This is an absolutely extraordinary attack on feee speech from Andy Burnham’s government: theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…
Allison Pearson said to be negotiating exit from Daily Telegraph amid job cull | Telegraph Media Group | The Guardian share.google/TacnfjuW60IDUfR… @AllisonPearson will be sorely missed - a bit like piles.
That young @timfarron sounding like a Socialist, here. Whatever next @EdwardJDavey, the @LibDems calling out Zionist racist supremacism and genocide? 'Heaven' forbid. 🙄

Antisemitism is a scourge on society and we are committed to stamping it out.
We’ve accepted all 27 recommendations of the Bell Review, including encouraging schools and colleges to adopt the IHRA Working Definition.
We will continue to promote its adoption internationally.
“If education isn’t the answer, what is?”
Antisemitism has no place in our schools and colleges.
Sir David Bell’s report sets out what needs to change, informed by the experiences of Jewish communities and those working in education.

Just how imvolved with the genocidal Zionist regime is @EdwardJDavey, @timfarron?
Completely absurd & disgraceful
"Sally Rooney says she can no longer sell books in UK due to Palestine Action support. She can no longer receive royalties from British sales and she cancelled UK trip due to fear of arrest"

Listen up @andyburnham @UKLabour.
Shame you haven't done the same with Zionism @bphillipsonMP
Antisemitism is a cancer in our politics.
We fought hard to root it out of our party.
We will not stand by and watch it infect public life again.

Historically illiterate @sapinker. Get a grip man. You diminish yourself.

Worth watching: "It is not a genocide; it is a counterattack in a war."
This should be pushed far and wide. Watched in every college class in the U.S. Thank you @billmaher The moral confusion is gross. "It is not a genocide, it is a counterattack in a war...Gaza equals genocide is a lie, an easily provable lie (as I have argued from first hand observations in Gaza). The fact that so many democrats go along with it is to me the party's worse moment since they undid reconstruction after the civil war...words have meaning...genocide, kill or try to kill an entire people, you can't just change the definition of genocide to mean counterattack in a war where people including civilians die, that's every war..."
independent.co.uk/news/uk/po… Of course, this is exactly which you should rule it in @andyburnham. Decent people are sick and tired of 'antisemitism' being being used to mask and justify genocide by fanatical European and American terrorists against Semites @ZackPolanski @timfarron.
morningstaronline.co.uk/arti… Just who and what do you seek to represent @andyburnham @UKLabour? This is an affront to decency and a denial of democracy. What will you do?
Three Accusations against Israel: Apartheid, Settler Colonialism, and Genocide. Are they historically accurate, or just morally loaded vilifications? New paper scrutinizes the Legal and Historical issues. @SSRN papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…

I only just noticed the "intolerance" label which Bluesky uses to hide posts from gender-critical accounts.
This would surely constitute discrimination under EA2010.
Would any lawyers be able to comment on whether this is a problem for UK organisations who moved from X to Bluesky? @AudreySuffolk @akuareindorf
