Let me help you with some math. The worst genocide in history, where the population somehow manages to increase by 341 people daily. Truly impressive how they've managed to grow by 124,444 this year while being exterminated. And life expectancy? A mere 62.9 years, up from 45 in 1950. Nothing says genocide like a longer lifespan and population growth.

Adnan. England has had enough of this now.
You are the Member for Blackburn. The eleventh most deprived local authority in England. Thirty six per cent of your children below the poverty line, nearly twice the national average, twelve thousand eight hundred of them. Your town has been called the poorest in the country.
And what is the post about? Gaza. Again. As it was last week. And the week before.
That is the tell, isn't it. You do not beg for Blackburn. You never have. You are not a constituency MP, you are a correspondence course in a foreign policy you cannot influence from a back bench.
And they brought it on themselves. Hamas chose it. Every flattened street, every child pulled out of the rubble, that is the invoice for a decision taken on 7 October by men who have never once said sorry for it.
So if you are that concerned, go. Get on a plane. Blackburn will be exactly as you left it when you come back, which is rather the point.
Go on then. And send us a postcard. It will be the only thing you have ever delivered.
In September, the Government acknowledged that its approach to Gaza had been wrong and promised a change in policy. By now, Palestinians should have seen tangible, material improvements. Instead, they have been left to endure these conditions with little evidence that those promises have translated into meaningful change.
In line with their own promises, the government must apply diplomatic pressure to secure adequate humanitarian aid, force the beginning of reconstruction and bring an end to these appalling living conditions.
There must also be proper international oversight to ensure commitments are honoured and aid reaches those who need it. Gaza cannot be left to its fate while the international community issues statements and waits. The promises made by the new Labour leadership must now be matched by action. Words mean nothing when the situation on the ground looks like this.

...@UKLFI has asked the Charity Commission to investigate an official of Haya Club, a girls only Islamic charity, over her involvement in an organisation accused of spreading conspiracy theories and glorifying violence. uklfi.com/charity-commission…

No one has ever had rain before except the Gazans. It’s a catastrophe???
Temperature is mild but the region has much needed rain. There is food. There is aid. And there is Hamas still in control of 45% of the Gaza Strip. Until they throw down their weapons, the rain will continue to fall, and some of the people will continue to live in tents.

IDENTIFIED: On November 6, 2026, antisemitic thugs targeted City St George's, University of London professor Michael Ben-Gad. We have identified some of them; they are repeat offenders and professional protesters, not students.

Security at @CityStGeorges did a good job stopping the masked pro-Pals reaching an Israeli professor they targeted. We need to identify these thugs.
Well done Susan - good for you and thank you.
London Assembly member @Councillorsuzie shuts down Green Party leader Zack Polanski after his party voted to classify Zionism as racism and rejected an amendment protecting Jewish members who attend synagogues.
The London Assembly voted 19 to 3 this week to condemn the Green Party's decision. Polanski was one of the three who voted against.
Susan, you dropped this 👑
Well done Cornwall. Not exactly a centre of Jewish life but great news that you have so much support from other faiths and none. Thank you to you all.
This story gives me hope.
"Allies may be closer than you think."
Cornwall Friends of Israel started with a chance conversation and has grown into a force for good
Cornwall Friends of Israel began in 2020 when I met a lovely Christian lady at a Holocaust Memorial Day event. Following the Hamas atrocities of October 7, 2023, we began holding regular vigils on a Cornish beach and in a town centre, remembering those murdered and standing with the families of hostages taken into Gaza.
Today, our members are spread across Cornwall, and our wonderful non-Jewish friends considerably outnumber our Jewish contingent.
Their friendship shows that solidarity means more than warm words. It means standing together when it matters most.
Our message to Jewish communities is simple. Allies may be closer than you think. Reach out to like-minded friends locally and across the UK, and welcome those who wish to stand with you. The GPS Network can help.

Larry have you looked up the meaning of the word 'decent'. I think you should quite soon.
Thank goodness for @ZackPolanski.
Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and the West Bank, Those tens of thousands of slaughtered children! We are fortunate to have decent Jewish leaders, like Zack and Bernie, to make the case. The UK, like the US, will choose life over murder.
Yes that's what I always say about these daft boycotts - people who support Israel buy more stuff than usual so it's a win situation. Those daft old bats don't realise they are helping the Israeli economy. Thank you ladies.
Well Noel how come the BBC has just had to pay thousands to an employee for the antisemitic treatment she received? Do you know what Zionism actually means?
