I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning.
I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss.
We stand with you.

Nigel Farage is probably delighted today that Reform have the most members of a political party.
It doesn't have to be this way.
180,000 and rising. Hope ready to overtake hate.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

#Hydrogen isn’t just a research topic in many UK universities — it’s becoming the default narrative. That shapes what students believe is possible long before critical questions are asked.

Great to hear Jacinda Ardern's thoughts today, alongside Katie White MP's & Rain Newton-Smith's, on how we rebuild the climate consensus.
A big part of it is fairness - making sure those who contributed most to global warming take responsibility, and everyone benefits from the green transition.

The conflation of "foreign criminals" and "illegal migrants" is disgusting.
Vile when some people don't have a safe route to flee from the utter detestation & brutality of war.
It's all grim enough without the Labour Government pushing further misinformation.

Emily Thornberry makes an incredibly patronising, smug video on Labour account on Instagram - even by her standards!
These Labour ministers with Reform- just can't seem to stop talking about the Green Party.
And it's just making membership rise & rise!

Very telling tonight on Question Time how much the Labour minister absolutely did not want me to talk.
Every time I even began a sentence he started to try and distract me.
It's not going to work on anyone.

While I think most literate people can be insightful and articulate in text form, if given enough time to collect their thoughts, it is a rare talent to be able to do that verbally, in real time, while responding to interruptions, hostile jibes or pointed questions and STILL get your point across.

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses.
The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family.
And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire.
Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines.
Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.
