A piece I wrote on Sudan a few months ago: “There are wars that apparently pierce the conscience of the West and then there are those that vanish from it entirely. To understand why, we must first understand the nature of the Sudanese catastrophe—and the ideological fault lines

This poor Jewish guy was trapped on a London bus for an hour while the driver refused to give him back his bank card that he had dropped. He’s weeping in frustration and sadness. My heart hurts for him. This is outrageous. @TfL

“Sultana embodies the kind of British leftist who would do anything for the world’s working class except listen to them” - a textbook case of leftist westsplaining
In my latest piece, I explain what Zarah Sultana gets wrong about Ukraine’s working class — and why her call to stop pumping money into arms manufacturers would leave Ukrainians defenceless. @zarahsultana

This is one of the most devastating takedowns of Zarah Sultana’s disgusting Ukraine position you will ever read. Genuinely brutal.

Been following this trial. Allegedly an ISIS inspired attack on Manchester Jews, they had an arsenal - assault rifles, the works. Only being reported in Manc and North West news but really shouldn't be. God bless our counter-terrorism guys, so often one step ahead, unsung hero's.
An undercover police officer describes how he was taken on a walk close to Jewish schools and buildings by two men who are accused of plotting to kill in Manchester. The officer told the jury: "Walid Saadaoui had told me he wanted to behead a Jewish person and rub their blood

...the reality is that the "Stop the War" left goes out of its way to find the miniscule numbers of Ukrainians who agree with their views while refusing to engage with Ukraine's actual labour movt and left, because they know UA's activists bitterly oppose the positions they hold.

Invoking Cable Street at a demo where the crowd is chanting "Zionist scum off our streets" is very very funny. Moseley would have been like, "Yes lads, that's the spirit!"

The Radiohead interview in today's Sunday Times is genuinely heartening. They clearly have principled political differences over playing in Israel but everyone involved just . . . sounds like a grown-up.

There's a lot to say about Louis Theroux's soft-soap interview with Bobby Vylan; I even started a long post detailing all the different problems with it. But then I stopped, because instead of always explaining, there needs to be a cost to antisemitism. Link in the next post.

Man carrying a tote bag around in Dalston is a solid disguise tbf
UPDATE: Officers have released CCTV of Hadush Kebatu in Dalston at around 6pm last night. He is now carrying his belongings in a distinctive bag with avocados on. We believe he could still be in the area. Residents are urged to report any sightings to 999 immediately.

A deeply intolerant culture has seeped into British national life over the past decade, and it expresses itself strongest where it should be weakest: on university campuses, where open debate on controversial issues ought to thrive. 4/4

@supergutman @HeidiBachram This is the deeply troubling example I meant. She can’t decide between death threat to a nation or give me a cover shoot
