This was a good speech by the PM at the Downing St Chanukah reception this afternoon.

So well done Diane. Carry on doing what you, Jeremy, and others have always done best!
Nor are they seen as being part of a wealthy, globalist clique, regardless of their actual financial circumstance. In the end, I'm not sure what Abbott's comments actually achieve. Apart from sparking division, and tension amongst minority communities .
unlikely to suffer the same pre-judgements from some. But her scales of racism theory works both ways. Black people, unless they are Jewish, are not currently accused of being child killing, genocide supporters due to the actions of Israel's military and govt.
Diane Abbott unhelpfully doubles down on her comments regarding the differences between anti-Black, anti-Jewish and anti-Traveller racism. On the one hand she is correct, unless you are visibly Jewish (ie Charedi or wearing a kippah), or indeed a Jew of colour, walking down the street, you are

Good to hear Sadiq Khan extend an invitation to US president elect Donald Trump to come to London next year. And to join him on a visit to Friday prayers at a Mosque or to Shabbat services at a synagogue, or to a Hindu temple to help him see the true diversity of the UK's capital

“energy bills and failed to spend £300 million earmarked for farmers – leaving them out of pocket as the money sat idly in the Treasury’s coffers.”
Labour hitting back on Kemi Badenoch speech to farmers. “Let us not forget that it was Kemi Badenoch’s Conservatives that forced over twelve thousand farmers and agricultural businesses out of business.
They sold farmers out in trade deals, left them facing spiralling
Thoughtful Bettie.
More appalling scenes out of Gaza. The right to defeat Hamas, and Hezbollah is undeniable. The death of innocent civilians, including children is not. And will only lead to more hate, and more conflict in the future.
One of the two busts stolen from Manchester Uni and then 'beheaded' online by Palestine Action idiots now turns out not to be a former Israeli president, but that of Harold Baily Dixon, ex professor of chemistry at the uni, it now seems.

Westminster sources describe glum looks of many on Tory benches in response to Kemi Badenoch's week 2 PMQs performance. "Makes you realise how competent Sunak actually was," says one. "Only got our members to thank for this," says another.
