Another great 🧵 from Annie - we have talked about starting a radical Jewish history podcast together - hopefully we’ll get round to it one day!

When she was little my kid used to say ‘oh cheeses’ as a curse

Really good piece

I’d say 33%, up 22% in a safe Labour seat, during the Burnham bounce is a good result for the Greens. I don’t think the motion made much difference. Zack is surely the most effective leader the party has had. He’s not going anywhere.

As others pointed out, Farage lost multiple times before having a single victory. And every loss was accompanied with a media discourse playing up his influence. They kept that up until he actually won.

Compulsory nationalisation of Taylor & Francis at zero cost

Listening to the News Agents say that nobody is calling for the dismantling of other settler colonies such as the USA and Australia. Many people are. Abolish all settler colonies and transform them into states of all their citizens which honour the cultures and history of the indegenous population

The JC gets the heir of Mosley and Enoch Powell to write about antisemitism. Do not take this fascist ghoul of a newspaper seriously any more.

And 4oD has taken it down!

Kings Cross: a reference to the Holborn and St Pancras by-election. British Jews and Muslims are attempting to build bridges (music symbolises social harmony) while the Green part is dividing them by passing the motion. Not saying it’s good but that’s what it means.

This is an old draft of the motion, it wasn’t in the motion passed at the Green conference, thankfully

Every life stolen was an entire world. The point is not to pretend that all we need is shared mourning, or to equate the suffering on both sides. Reckoning and accountability are required.

The protagonists of the former are still in their posts and fuming about the latter. It’s true that they are on the back foot but it’s going to be messy for a good while

Good 🧵

I hear you but I still think it wasn’t done well. Heard from a couple of Jewish members that they didn’t vote for it for that reason
