“If people go to a carol service, they’re not thinking ‘is this a life and death risk?’ We shouldn't be in that position.” Following the attack on Bondi beach, Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland speaks to #Newsnight about its impact on the Jewish community in Britain.

Rare moment in Ireland. Police finally confronted the “Free Palestine” hate group using batons and pepper spray. Never seen a crowd disperse so quickly. The aftermath is beautiful and so well deserved.

Today, we are bringing a motion of no confidence in SNP justice secretary Angela Constance. She lied to MSPs by misrepresenting the views of a leading grooming gangs expert. If John Swinney won’t sack her, Parliament must act.

#BBCWato comes from Jerusalem today as @Sarah_Montague reports on a country united by grief but divided on politics. Sarah visits Sderot, a city very close to the border with Gaza, and hears from residents of Kibbutz Be'eri – one of the communities most impacted by October 7th.

“Starmer’s days really will be numbered.” Andrew Neil says there is a growing consensus that Starmer is not up to being leader of the Labour Party, “never mind prime minister”. @AFNeil | #TimesRadio

They tolerate it because they fear the backlash if they take it on. But every day the problem grows and at some point, if trends continue, they will lose the ability to take it on.
At the opening night of the Christmas market in Brussels, masked Islamists set off smoke bombs, attacked families, and waved Palestinian flags. How do countries tolerate this?

Ismalist attacks worldwide are more likely than Trump to radicalise Britons!
My thoughts and condolences - along with the rest of London - are with everyone affected by the horrific attack at Bondi Beach, Australia today. The Met Police are increasing their visibility in our Jewish communities ahead of any Chanukah events.

Women's spaces MUST be for biological women.. It's the law! Larger venues could offer gender neutral toilets as well as men & women toilets. A fair number of toilets in hospitals are now gender neutral, offering facilities to all. Provision MUST be made for disabled. #bbclaurak

@ArchRose90 I've no time for PA violent action! Fine, the sit-down protests are peaceful, but these defence facilities PA thugs attacked & seriously injured a police officer.. If they want to throw their lives away on hunger strike, it's their business! @thisisyourparty @UKLabour #bbclaurak

Like any decent British citizen, I stand in solidarity with the female police officer whose spine was broken with a sledgehammer. Not with the Palestine Action activists who are shocked that the law applies to them.

Thoughtful people designed a special cat apartment to keep cats warm during cold weather, and the result turned out truly wonderful.

Imagine being so brain-dead you'd go on hunger strike for Hamas, who hid baby formula from their own people.
These are the eight prisoners taking part in what is thought to be the biggest hunger strike in UK history since Irish republicans began refusing food in 1981. Tonight it has emerged that five of them have been taken to hospital. Two haven't eaten for nearly 39 days.

The police "intelligence" used to ban Israelis from Villa Park fell apart. So did the police evidence to the Home Affairs Committee. The Committee plans to recall the Chief Constable - an unprecedented move. If he can't justify his actions, he must go. https://t.co/SbgWVpeMa7

@MothinAli The stated defence in the recent criminal case was “cultural differences prevented them from knowing it was wrong to commit these atrocities”? To be clear, I think you’ll find that “culture” was precisely the defence put forward in the trial.

@MothinAli Yes, there is. Pakistani rapists target British teenage girls because they are white and non-Muslim.

Bam-Bam and I make a good team. I'm getting tired of doing the so much-needed ironing that I really have to do, and he decides to make sure I can't keep going by taking over the ironing board, so I have to stop. He's a good boy 😊
