I have heard both these Rabbis speak many times, and their love for Israel is unconditional. Suggesting that they equate Hamas and the Israeli government is insane. The settler violence in the West Bank is evil, and does harm Israel. That is uncontroversial.

Happy 75th birthday to the brilliant Princess Anne.

NaomiSky15 royal watcher I was honoured to be asked to perform at the VJ Day memorial service, in tribute to the many soldiers who came from India, whose courage and sacrifice are an important part of our national story.

One day after we marked 80 years since the end of WW2, the final VC recipient of 182 awarded in that conflict has passed. God speed Sir, thank you for your service. telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/202…

People often say "he/she is mentally ill" on here as a nasty pejorative. But much like his pressure-of-speech on Piers Morgan, this sort of post suggests that Mr Jones is not well. I can recognise it the hard way. I hope he recognises it, or people help him.

I love seeing the Union Flag. At sports events, on The Guildhall, at school. I get a lump in my throat seeing the household cavalry trot down The Mall. I also feel intensely uncomfortable seeing the Palestinian flag. But this is something nasty brewing. We are on a dark path.

My love life has been like a Wedding Present song lately. So that's it for 2025 on the dating front! Going to buy a trainset.

I love this. If you sort out MacCartney's shoes and socks, it looks like it was taken for the Airbnb listing for a Shepherd's Hut in Wiltshire last week.

The Droitwich Spa Lido Parish referendum. Voted to reopen obviously. How did you vote?!

Every second I spend at work is for my son and his future. My parents were the same. This goes against the human instinct to exist and procreate. It is just hatred of the human condition.

I find klezmer... difficult. In my head it's conflated with performative Yiddish and Bund revivalists. But that is to deny so much, it is so powerful. It does make you want to move, it vibrates the chromosomes. open.spotify.com/track/4noAJP4Z…

Manifesting the better sort of late Summer evening: Where you catch someone's eye on a seafront balcony, drinking a cold beer, on a clear night after a balmy day. Enough of this cold, grey shite. open.spotify.com/track/15J6PrzK…
