Do the Covid Inquiry authors think we all forgot how rubbish the Covid modelling was? If there’s one thing I learned from the pandemic, it’s to question random stats that the govt and media throw at us.
The Covid inquiry has used modelling to claim Boris is responsible for 23,000 deaths. Here's how reliable Covid deaths modelling was. Red line is actual:

“The most Jewish thing about the entire second season is when Seth Rogen makes a cameo as a progressive rabbi.” And there’s no Yiddish! More Jewish jokes please! My latest for @spectator on the missed opportunity of Nobody Wants This season 2
Nobody Wants This has failed to live up its early promise – and is starting to look like a missed opportunity for Jewish comedy. ✍️ Naomi Firsht https://t.co/wqZktZFs5M

Jewish blood libel conspiracy theory being taught as fact @ucl - this is blatant antisemitism. Can anyone really be surprised any more that campus is such a hostile place for Jews. Appalling.
At London’s prestigious university @ucl, an academic is teaching the blood libel AS FACT. For the ignorant, Jews do not use any gentile blood at Passover - this is a conspiracy theory which started in the UK around 800 years ago. I’m genuinely amazed that today it is being

And this is the tip of the iceberg.
“We live with the constant hum of anti-Semitism as the background noise to our lives. We go about our day-to-day business, but something has changed. Imperceptible to our non-Jewish friends, we change our behaviour in myriad, tiny ways.” My anti-Semitism long-read @spikedonline

It is in fact relentless. @Naomi_theFirsht describes the key incidents of antisemitism in Britain in the last few weeks. We're angry, we show each other, we shrug, and we forget them. Scroll through my Twitter account for 20 years of incidents - I've forgotten most of them.

“I don’t think it is an understatement to say that Jews are facing a concerted anti-Semitic campaign that aims to push us out of public life – or at the very least, make us feel deeply uncomfortable.” My long-read for @spikedonline
A relentless campaign of anti-Semitism has been waged against British Jews since 7 October 2023. We now no longer feel safe. We question ourselves, look over our shoulders and hide our identities. Daily life is becoming intolerable, says Naomi Firsht https://t.co/U48uMIA1y4

If the police banned Maccabi Tel Aviv fans because of their hooliganism, why are we seeing scenes like these? THIS IS A CATALYST FOR PROBLEMS IN OUR OWN SOCIETY
Villa fans sing songs at the pro-Pals in Birmingham and it all KICKS OFF. The pro-Pals hate any dissent and they throw missiles at the fans and try to get at them and have to be pushed back by police. Why were the protesters allowed so close to the ground? 🎥@AshPhillipsUK

This is, by all accounts, genuinely the detective tasked with cracking the Louvre heist. God I love the French.

Yes! We need to do this. No more being chased off our streets by antisemites!
I’m going to that fucking Villa match with a big Star of David and if the police stop me for my safety rather than deal with the threat of Islamists then this country is fucked. Anybody who wants to come join me then great.

The sign off: “now we can focus on the football once more”. Yes, now you made sure it’s a Jew-free event, we can all enjoy ourselves. Two weeks after Jews are murdered on our streets, this is what we have to put up with. We cannot stand for this any more.
I welcome the news that Maccabi Tel Aviv fans will not be permitted to watch the match at Aston Villa! Well done to all those that signed our petition!

State bans on smacking? Gentle Parenting? What is 'authoritative parenting' anyway? Come and discuss at @acadofideas Battle of Ideas with @AshleyAFrawley @Naomi_theFirsht @SalemLola @nmcdnyc and Emma Gilland https://t.co/utwVYq5NTl

Discussion at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Saturday 18 October at Church House, Westminster.
As Alan Shearer and Michael Caine join calls to ban parents from smacking children, most Britons believe the practice should be legal, though this has fallen in recent years Should be legal: 52% (-12 from Aug 2019) Should not be legal: 32% (+8)
