Such a pleasure to perform with gemma rosefield Kings Place last night at the opening of an incredibly broad-ranging programme of events at Jewish Book Week, and to join Lord Ed Vaizey, Lionel Shriver & Mark Lawson in conversation around the Arts in our increasingly intolerant age.

Ukraine is fighting for the normal and safe life it deserves, for a just and reliable peace. We want this war to end. But Russia does not, and continues its aerial terror: over the past week, more than 1,050 attack drones, nearly 1,300 aerial bombs, and more than 20 missiles have

To all the so-called journalists, activists, and “pro-Palestine” voices: For two months, the people of Gaza have been risking their lives protesting against Hamas. And right now—this very moment—tens of thousands are taking to the streets, chanting "We want to live" and "Hamas
