This could be one of the defining images of the 2024 campaign ..

They should put this in the National Gallery.

A #bbcqt audience member originally from Congo cites conflict between Rwanda and DRC and asks if UK would send refugee from DRC to... Rwanda.

A confused Chris Philp: 'Well, Rwanda is a different country from Congo, isn't it?'

You'd think that Sir Tom Moore's family would now do everything in their power not to be seen to be profiting from his name. Instead their estate agent uses it as the main selling point to flog their £2.25m home. It's like a tawdry Through The Keyhole...

Abbott is asked if she regrets saying Irish, Jewish & Traveller people don't suffer racism, only prejudice faced by redheads. “Maybe I could have worded it better.'

Grudging reply makes no sense. She once insisted letter was 'initial draft' sent in error

The testimonies of Ukraine’s Jews, many of them Holocaust survivors, have been preserved in a powerful new project. My feature for Jewish News's Life Magazine

A caller to LBC is in a bit of a time warp. Re 'pint-size loser':

'Claire Rayner was completely out of order. She should no longer give advice to anybody about anything.'

'Jewish Brits' and 'their own disreputable Netanyahu government'. The government they can't even vote for/out

The Guardian's decision to devote 4 paragraphs to a Jewish demonstrator saying he felt welcome is absurd in the extreme. The question is whether Jews carrying prayer shawls, not Palestinian flags, feel safe. This isn't hard

If your response to a man being threatened with arrest for being 'openly Jewish' and the police calling him 'provocative' is to try to dig up dirt on the guy – after the police have had to apologise twice for their own behaviour – you're no ally in the fight against racism

Extraordinary to hear from Hannah Barnes that the first article by the BBC health editor about the Tavistock scandal only came after the Cass report

The ongoing scandal of what the Post Office got away with should be used as a masterclass in how not to respond to press and legal scrutiny. But that will only happen if we actually see these people facing consequences for their actions.

'On one side is a billionaire. On the other is a woman who grew up in poverty caring for her illiterate mother, who is now mother to a child who is registered blind, and who through her own guts and character has risen to be deputy leader of the Labour Party.'

Liz Truss tells LBC she hated having to talk to the BBC and other 'leftie media' while she was PM. Then guess where she chooses to pop up...

I find it extraordinary that the producer of Back To Black told Woman's Hour today that she hadn't read that Blake introduced Amy to heroin. I knew that and I haven't made a movie about her.

She also said he hadn't sold his story, when he made the admission on Jeremy Kyle show

If this were said about any other minority, everyone would see how outrageous it is. Jews in UK or Australia are not tainted by the actions of a government they have nothing to do with.

And the guff about Hitler having 'changed us' is trite and obscene

Never mind Israel, Palestine, antisemitism, Islamophobia, BBC bias or blasphemy . David Baddiel is going to upset people most by getting the year that Abba won Eurovision wrong

I saw this last night by Victor Esses at Camden People's Theatre. Ingenious, moving and thought-provoking. Go see!

My, my! It’s 50 years since Europe did surrender!

For The Telegraph, I spoke to the Sheffield bassist who was Napoleon on Waterloo cover, Essex-born singer for 🇱🇺 who had to follow #ABBA , Olivia Newton-John's conductor and 🇬🇧 jurist who gave them nul points
