Always happy to rebut mendacious anti-semitic activism

We got a furious response from the former Conservative minister Lord Michael Gove when we asked about his position on Israel at the Labour Conference.
Gove claimed he knew more about antisemitism than Zack Polanski, the only Jewish leader of a major political party in the UK. He also accused us of not being journalists and of an obsession with Israel, despite the Labour government's change in position on the occupation of Palestine being the key topic at this year's conference.
Gove now sits in the House of Lords and is editor of right-wing magazine The Spectator.

Yesterday, I was barred from entering the West Bank by Israeli officials, as part of a @ProgIntl delegation.
What's happening here in Palestine is unjust. We've just witnessed what Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and many others have called a genocide unfold in Gaza.
We came here to show the world, and to show solidarity with the Palestinian people. The Israeli government didn't allow that.

On his way to vote, Gadi Eisenkot stopped at the grave of his son, Gal, who was killed in battle against Hamas.

Election Day in Israel and I am here to vote. These are the first elections since the massacre October 7. This is also the first time since 1988 that a government in Israel completed its 4 years term. A big day. Good luck to us all.
יום בחירות יום חג. יש לנו מדינה קטנה, דמוקרטיה סוערת, וכל קול יכול להשפיע. צאו להצביע!
מאחלת לנו אור ואהבה ושלום פנימי וחיצוני. תקווה ושמחה ושנהיה דוגמא ואור לעצמנו ולעולם. אוהבת אתכם, יאלה צאו! 🇮🇱

😂 Nick Ferrari bursts out laughing as Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds is forced to sell the latest government gimmick live on @LBC
Reynolds looked thoroughly embarrassed as he tried to sell the plan to scrap import tariffs on a list of “everyday essentials”.
When Ferrari asked him which products were included and what the actual savings would be, Reynolds immediately started dampening expectations, sheepishly admitting these were “not huge reductions” before reeling off the list: baked beans, chocolate, gherkins…
That’s as far as he got. Ferrari could not contain himself and burst out laughing. 😭
Nick then pointed out that the Conservatives have called the projected saving of £21 per year “derisory”.
You could see Reynolds was mortified reading it out. Imagine the brief he opened this morning and realised he had to go on air and sell this to the public. 😬
What a farce. Even on the government’s own figures, this works out at roughly 40p a week for the average household. Forty pence a week. You lucky people.
Another pointless gimmick that will have zero material impact on people’s lives.

For the racist little pricks who apparently need this explained: Kemi Badenoch was born in LONDON. She grew up abroad and returned to Britain at 16. She is now 46, married and a mother of three
Disagree with her policies. Challenge her arguments. That’s politics. Treating her skin colour or Nigerian heritage as grounds to question whether she belongs here is racism. Have the backbone to own what you’re doing instead of dressing it up as patriotism.
Britishness is not a whites-only club, and you miserable bigots are not its membership committee.
And any politician who panders to that poison deserves contempt, whatever party badge they wear.
She belongs here. Your racism belongs in the fucking gutter.

British MPs head off to the “help olive farmers” in the ‘West Bank’, where terrorists killed Israeli soldiers last week, and whose leader cancelled elections (for 20 years)
Meanwhile Israel democracy is at play today, where it’s suggested Israeli-Arabs could be the “Kingmakers”

Abbas Hamas: cancel elections and deny millions of Palestinians the right to vote.
Israel: has more than 2 million Muslim Arabs voting today and deciding on Israel's future.
Belgium's TV headline: "we blame Israel 7.5 million Palestinians do not have the right to vote".
The derangement is real.
What kind of misleading headline is this, @VTMNIEUWS?
VTM’s headline claims that “7.5 million Palestinians have no vote” in its coverage of Israel’s elections.
Who exactly is included in that figure?
If it includes 2 million Israeli Arab citizens, the claim is wrong. They have the same voting rights as other Israeli citizens, run for office and serve in the Knesset.
If it includes 5 million Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza, they generally do not hold Israeli citizenship and therefore do not vote in Israeli national elections. Combining these populations under one sweeping headline misleads viewers.
A reminder: the last Palestinian parliamentary elections were in 2006. President Mahmoud Abbas has now postponed the November 2026 elections until September 2027, despite commitments to international partners. His promise to hold elections was among the commitments underpinning France’s recognition of a Palestinian state.
Recognition went ahead. The elections did not.
A report about democracy should begin by getting the electorate right.

Arabs, Jews and all other Israeli citizens can vote in the “apartheid state” of Israel — and are doing so today.

Burnham has spent the day going on about how the only way for the UK economy to survive is to get close to the collapsing EU
The he announces a policy of cutting import tariffs, something he can only do because of Brexit
It’s not so much that the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing but the left hand not knowing of the existence of the right hand & denying that it even exists in the first place
🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham has announced five "everyday fixes" ahead of the Budget
1. Carer's Allowance will be changed so carers no longer lose their entire benefit when they earn over the limit - instead, their support will reduce by £1 for every extra £1 they earn
2. Import tariffs will be removed on more than 100 products, including baked beans, chocolate and gherkins, to save households up to £21 on their food shop a year
3. Tax-free mileage rates for workers using their own cars will be made permanent at 55p per mile for the first 10,000 miles, with the rate for additional miles rising from 25p to 35p
4. Parental pay will be extended to over 150,000 more parents a year, including self-employed fathers and partners
5. Hundreds more Post Office drop boxes will be rolled out to save people queueing at branches

“We’ve all got different politics, that doesn’t mean we can’t work together.”
Lucie Kon, former BBC producer, explains how she was ‘forced out’ by colleagues at the BBC for her ‘zionist’ beliefs following October 7th.

Intifada crowd confuse real estate ownership with national sovereignty. Canadians can buy every piece of real estate in America, but America will never become Canada.
Palestine was created as a binational Arab/Jewish country. Arabs refused binationalism, refused UN partition, refused Oslo two state, refuse to recognize Zionism.
Then kids who were born yesterday think they know something about the conflict... oh, and they think that using the term hasbara, Hebrew for "to explain," is their catch all, gotcha moment, term.
This “Palestinians are not a people” hasbara is worse than moronic, it’s evil.
It doesn’t matter if Palestinian was a distinct identity historically. What matters is there were specific people with specific property on specific land who were wrongfully dispossessed of it.
Their argument is like saying “Californians were never historically a people, they are just a subset of North Americans. Therefore, it’s acceptable to take their land and homes, expel them to Canada, and never let them return.”

Is it just an amazing coincidence that—now half the world’s Jews live in ‘the Jewish State’—they rehash the exact same lies and tropes told about ‘the Jews’ when half of them lived in Europe, which got six million killed, or are these goons the actual heirs to the Third Reich?
New low for normalized Jew-hate in the American Democratic Party. Very sad:
Painting your political opponents as puppets of Jews, as this El-Sayed ad does, and as crazed baby-killers and money-grubbing villains who are the root cause of every bad thing not just in the world, but in your life—from wars to the price of eggs to the reason you can’t have free healthcare—is not just low-grade Jew-hate. It’s pure Third Reich stuff, translated directly from the original German.
Do you remember when Jewish Democrats in Michigan explained that they would vote for El-Sayed despite his open disdain for Jews, since there are many other important issues they need him to fight for? That anything was worth it to “defeat MAGA”?
Well, here’s El-Sayed’s answer to them: Don’t worry, all those issues we agree on, like healthcare, inflation, and climate change, I’m going to make them about Jews too! I will tell the public that the Jews are the reason they can’t have those things.

And still they can’t fill the room.
Farage blamed “staff incompetence”.

Can you imagine a bunch of Russians turning up at our border intent on harming the UK and getting upset when we don't let them in?
The arrogance of the anti-Israel crowd! Who do they think they are?
Israel is an independent state with every right to turn around troublemakers.

Mr Polanski, I know you have a reputation for being scrupulous about checking your facts, but you’ve missed an important detail.
My contract requires me to remain on leave from the Lords, surrender my parliamentary pass and forgo all access and voting rights for the duration of my employment at Palantir. I do not, therefore, take any whip.
I fear this makes me rather less useful to the whips’ office than you imply.

This is a cover-up.
Labour's Justice Secretary won't say how many of the prisoners he is releasing early have been tagged.
He promised they’d all be tagged, now he tells me we won't find out until January.
3,000 prisoners will have been freed by then.
Insane.

Nigel, blaming your staff because people won’t turn up for your bollocks is fucking pathetic. You want to run Britain but can’t take responsibility for a room. Even the empty chairs have had enough of your self-important bullshit.
