To whoever is interested in such things, I’ve resigned as a columnist from The Jewish Chronicle. I’m immensely grateful for all the support I’ve had from the editors during my time there, and enjoyed writing for it enormously. But recent events have made it impossible for me to stay.

Not so long ago, this might have looked like a photo of most of the Lib Dem Parliamentary Party. Not it's the party's MP for just the one county of Surrey.

Thank you Jonathan Freedland and Hadley Freeman for your eloquence and courage. The increasingly destructive editorship of the JC is no longer tenable. Its ownership must be revealed — and hopefully replaced too. The community deserves, and needs, better.
