We were the customers of Gaby's Deli, & fought to save this London institution. We won from 2012-2016 when Gaby retired. He died in 2023. It’s now a tatty shop

Should the citizens of #MiltonKeynes stage an intervention and rescue the imprisoned passengers?
It’s 0130. I am on an @AvantiWestCoast train at Milton Keynes. We are just sitting here. Behind a dead freight train. I should have been home an hour ago. At this rate it will be dawn before I see my bed. Brilliant service to cancel BOTH trains we were booked to travel on…

When does @AvantiWestCoast get nationalised? It can’t be soon enough: daytrip to #Birmingham and BOTH trains we were booked on were cancelled. No explanation given. Presumably running a good service is too much trouble. #NationaliseNow

Presumably the whole world is rooting for plucky little #Belgium against the cheating tyranny of the #USA in the #worldcup tonight. @FIFAWorldCup is a disgrace (even if you don’t care about football! )

Nobody has ever called me a “filthy Jew” before this evening. It was here. @X has already said that doesn’t breach its standards for hate speech. If that doesn’t, what, if anything, does?

Outrageous decision by @IslingtonBC to close down my grand-daughter’s lovely nursery - throwing out 35 children (including several SEND) Demonstration 1845 this evening Islington Town Hall. @UnaOHalloran Is this wise? standard.co.uk/news/london/i…

The very day @Arsenal celebrate both a massive victory and an amazing community @IslingtonBC endorse closure of a community nursery in nearby #paradisepark. All staff have redundancy notices, 35 tiny kids with no nursery. @jeremycorbyn @EmilyThornberry @Keir_Starmer really?

Is so much rather see the PM stay @10DowningStreet and the @ukhomeoffice go. I quite like having a grown- up at the top, even a charisma-free one.

This is a brilliant investigative piece on Farage, the dark millions behind him and the double standards of so much British journalism. Read and retweet! Nigel Farage pocketing £5m from a donor shows he’s unfit for power app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/s…

The deliberate arson attacks against Hatzola ambulances in London are a particularly sickening assault - not only on the Jewish community, but on the values we share as a society. Our Hatzola volunteer ambulance corps is an extraordinary service, whose sole mission is to protect life, Jewish and non-Jewish alike. The targeting of Hatzola by people so committed to terror, hatred and the desecration of life is a most painful illustration of the ongoing battle between those who sanctify life and those who seek to destroy it. At a time when Jewish communities around the world are facing a growing pattern of these violent attacks, we will meet this moment with shared resolve and stand together against hatred and intimidation.

So hope this is true. @UKLabour have more to fear from those appalled by the proposed going to @TheGreenParty or @LibDems when it will never persuade @reformparty_uk voters anyhow. Agree @RupaHuq?
Immigration climbdown incoming? After yesterday's attack by Angela Rayner on "un-British" reforms, Downing Street now repeatedly refusing to stand by Shabana Mahmood's policy to toughen the indefinite leave to remain criteria. No10 still saying they are committed to a "fair" immigration system but will now not get ahead of a government "consultation".

Wow, this is some mad fucking antisemitism from @guardian - and a truly honking piece of restaurant writing into the bargain.
The Guardian: Even tho a bakery which had a Jewish founder is a British business (technically, we guess), it’s clearly an act of aggression for a Jew-store to open near a salt-of-the-earth independently owned Palestinian cafe. theguardian.com/commentisfre……

A reminder for anyone failing to read beyond the headlines that Keir Starmer never met Jeffrey Epstein, had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein, wasn't in parliament when Peter Mandelson sent his tip offs to Jeffrey Epstein, his sole contribution to the scandal being to appoint Mandelson as US ambassador. Just in case you were getting confused.

If @TfL would only schedule more trains to stop at #ActonMainline it would matter less that #ElizabethLine trains are often cancelled and almost always late. Why can’t the terminal 5 trains stop here? @BassamMahfouz @RupaHuq

We welcomed at least 160 of Ealing’s sanctuary-seekers to our Xmas party yesterday. Such jollity from a choir singing carols, Santa with presents, a magician & much good cheer. Lots of happy people feeling integrated & supported by the end. Thanks to all donors

Met Police chief Mark Rowley: ‘How anybody in America can suggest the UK is violent is completely ridiculous. The homicide rate in London is lower than every single US state. It’s lower than all their big cities.’
