Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear.

They are NOT hate marches
This lie is being repeated over & over
I’ve been on most of the marches against the GENOCIDE
I march in the Jewish Bloc
Tens of thousands march against the GENOCIDE and UK Govt’s support for it
Peaceful, decent people marching against GENOCIDE

I actually care about all human lives Joanne, but I’m wondering if you actually do? Have you mentioned the genocide of Palestinians even once or do their lives not matter to you?
Using today's events to score political points is disgusting.
Shame on you.
.@zarahsultana I assume this is a different Zarah Sultana MP to the one who was recently filmed clapping along to loudspeaker chants for intifada, on a street in Surrey.

I know there is a lot of news around but can someone at the Beeb explain to me how a man they keep telling us might be the next PM getting an undisclosed donation of FIVE MILLION POUNDS from a Thai based crypto dealer (with a BS explanation about it being for lifelong security) is not even a news story when the man he wants to replace led the news for days over some glasses and Arsenal tickets?

BREAKING: Man who used to march down the street singing hitler youth songs and go up to his jewish classmates and make the hissing sound of gas chambers realises he can use yesterday's antisemitic attack to score some cheap political points and talk about that two-tier far-right conspiracy bullshit. Classy.

Nigel Farage has been accused by multiple people he grew up with of extreme antisemitic comments and behaviour.
Yet he's allowed to present himself as a champion of Jewish people.
Meanwhile, our only Jewish leader, Zack Polanski, is smeared - because he opposes genocide.

Proper policing should keep Britain’s Jews safe.
What won’t?
- Shutting down marches against UK govt support for Israeli crimes.
- Terror arrests of 2,700 peaceful protestors.
If anything, they make the problem worse by conflating Jews and Israel.

Rachel Millwall, "What is striking is we are the fifth richest country in the world and yet a third of our children live in poverty"
"Children are hungry in schools, so they cannot learn"
"Our NHS is crumbling, there's a housing crisis. How can this be?"
"We're the fifth richest country in the world"
"It doesn't have to be that way"
"The reason Keir Starmer needs to go is because he is weak, because he lacks vision and because it's a time when we need bold courage and we need to really transform the systems that we have so that ordinary people's lives are made easier, so that bills come so that we stop kowtowing to profit"
"And we have a much fairer, economy"

Nigel Farage took £5 MILLION from a billionaire just before announcing his run to be an MP.
But he didn’t declare it. Even though the rules are clear.
Another reminder of how close Farage is to the rich and powerful - despite his claim to speak for ordinary people.

Respected Jewish Rabbi Herschel Gluck drops a massive truth bomb on UK politicians. He completely exposes how they are weaponizing Jewish suffering to ban pro-Palestine protests. He declares that denying people the right to protest strips them of their basic humanity.

Absolute solidarity with @ZackPolanski — the disgusting attempt to blame a prominent British Jewish politician for the Golders Green attack because he has stood against genocide is one of the darkest and most despicable moments in British political discourse for quite awhile.

Yesterday we met Gareth Peirce in London to present her with something small from us.
As she said to us walking into the Royal Courts of Justice a few months back:
"Don't be fooled by the fine architecture, this is where many great miss carriages of justice take place".
She made sure that wasn't Mo Chara - a legend 👏🏻💚🤍🧡

Today the new Renters’ Rights Act comes into force.
This is a big step forward.
But without rent controls a huge number of private renters will continue to be priced out of their homes by spiralling rents.
I will never stop fighting for secure and affordable housing for all🧵

They were not intercepted. They were abducted in international waters.
This is piracy - and is a flagrant violation of international law.

The Metropolitan Police denouncing a party leader a week before elections - over a retweet.
This is outrageous.
Forget what you think about the retweet.
If you accept this sort of police interference in our democracy, you legitimise a deeply disturbing precedent.
“Apprehending violent and dangerous criminals is a full contact and messy task which may appear shocking to observers with little experience of policing in the real world.”

The reason Zack Polanski is under attack?
The surge of the Greens has terrified both political and media elites.
They thought they’d buried the left.
And now they’re doing anything and everything to end their worst nightmare - a powerful left.
ALT “Jewish communities are waking up this morning feeling incredibly scared after yet another odious antisemitic attack. “This is a time for politicians to work together to protect Jewish people – but some party leaders are instead using this moment to make political attacks. “I am the only Jewish leader of a major political party and I suffer antisemitic abuse every single day. For other politicians to use antisemitism as a political football, especially after these horrific attacks, is utterly appalling and should be beneath them. “We must also be very clear that any response to these abhorrent attacks that curtails our civil liberties would be wrong. For a Government to seek to use the pain of the Jewish community to restrict our right to peaceful protest would be a dangerous error. We must not respond to grave moments like this by turning inwards, or by clamping down on our hard won rights. Instead we must stand firm both in defending communities against such attacks, and by confid
