I am so disappointed by Diane Abbott, because of my respect for her as a pioneer. But my reply to her observation that Jews didn’t have to sit in the back of the bus, is that she’s right. Because Jews weren’t allowed on the bus at all. Here’s my Mum’s experience (from my book)

Tesfai, a 70 year old blind man will never again be able to independently catch the bus from Streaham Hill because of the overblown nonsense of the fanatical cycle lobby and those politicians who have drunk the cycling Koolaid: metro.co.uk/2025/07/18/9-5… via Metro

This is right. Pour in aid. Feed the Gazans. End any talk of annexation or transfers of population. End the war. Exclude Hamas. Return to negotiations. Israel Must Open Its Eyes nytimes.com/2025/08/03/opi…

The National Federation of the Blind of the UK is calling for a permanent end to these disastrous floating bus stops. All the evidence confirms they are 💯 right to do so. We must oppose these death traps, brought in by ideologues who refuse to listen.

Many hard left leaders went to private school. Do they view socialism as a hobby? ✏️ Paul Mason thenewworld.co.uk/paul-mason-why…

Robert Jenrick, the Tory Shadow Justice Secretary and former Home Office Minister, joining protesters outside an asylum hotel is one of the most disgusting acts by a frontline British politician in living memory.

Two thirds of those arrested at Bristol anti-immigration riots had been reported for domestic abuse 41 of the 60 arrested for the 'Stop the Boats' protest had previously been reported for domestic abuse allegations bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol-n…

Some basic historical corrections. Hamas invaded Israel on Oct 7 not vice versa. And in 1948, 4 Arab armies invaded Israel not vice versa. And Jews were not and are not " foreigners" in the land where their religion, language and identity were formed.

Blackburn Rovers condemns the chants from a small group of supporters during Saturday’s game. This behaviour has no place at our club, in football or in society. We are reviewing the incident and working with the relevant authorities to identify those involved. Such

Portraying every migrant as a sex pest, whipping up protest mobs, thrilling at the potential for ethnic violence, pretending that whites are dealt with more harshly by courts: it’s untrue and irresponsible says Danny Finkelstein times-comment.com/victimhood
