If Phillipson think British Jews will be upset by protests against a foreign power that means she thinks their loyalty lies with that foreign power and not Britain, which makes her a racist.

The Spectre Haunting Europe @frightfulhobgoblin.bsky.social · 12h

It's deeply brain-damaging that the whole Cabinet have clearly collectively decided on this wildly antisemitic line, with no social pushback from any sector of elite opinion. The Sensibles have just decided to give this dangerous bigotry a free pass, because it's directed Leftwards.

#trevorphillips: "Should the regular marches organised by the
@pscupdates.bsky.social be called off now?"

Bridget Phillipson says these protests can be deeply upsetting to British Jews & the govt will be bringing in new powers to restrict peoples right to protest.

Lots of stories about Nathan Gill and Russian bribes.

"Antifa are the true fascists!" is a take so stupid that anyone gabbling it shouldn't be allowed near sharp objects and should have mittens sewn to their sleeves.

Luckily the right have never found out that I'm the leader of the UK division of Antifa and they all blocked already for being #toocool so they'll NEVER find out. Shhhh don't tell haha.

Love from, the CEO of Antifa UK x

"Hard-left". I wonder why someone working for a tax-dodging billionaire would describe someone who wants to introduce a wealth tax as "hard-left"?

The Headline smear, what Polanski actually said.

Mr Polanski, 42, said he too would 'consider shoplifting' if he also had no other option to earn money or obtain food.

Zack Polanski said people who steal because they do not have much money should be shown compassion

"Why aren't the Free Palestine people cheering about the ceasefire?"

If you saw a man beating a child into a coma, would you cheer after the beating stopped? No, your first reaction would be horror at what happened and your second would be fear that he'll attack the kid again.

Are you a masochist
Do you under value your skills and own personal wealth
Do you dream of rubbish wages with little or no opportunity for meaningful career progression
Do you come from a privileged background.

If the answer is YES

Then the Heritage sector is for you

Ms. Rachel calls out Barack Obama's statement on Gaza, highlighting how referring to 'Israeli families' while calling Palestinians 'the people of Gaza' strips them of their humanity. 'Palestinians have families, too,' she wrote.
