    18 year low in pupils learning modern foreign languages in our schools & 2017 there were no GCSE entries at all in German in three LEA areas. So sad to hear a pupil who did get chance to do German GCSE say how much she enjoyed it & how cool Germany is.

    This should give all of us who live in Barnet pause for thought

    Today I have left the Labour Party. It was not an easy decision, but has been a long time coming. I realised fear of abuse was holding me back, especially being pregnant, but Luciana's bravery has been inspirational. I will continue to serve as an independent Councillor.

    "By insisting on a comprehensive deal in which everything was agreed at once.. they ensured that nothing could be agreed at all." EU negotiating tactics from Greece 2015. Familiar?

    I have just seen this. Seems any Jew - like me - who supports Corbyn can now be branded a “self-hating Jew” on TV and that’s supposed to be somehow OK. What is happening in this country? I feel physically sick. All solidarity with

    Tom Bower calling left wing Jewish journalist a 'spokesperson' for a left politician and a 'self-hating Jew'. Brazen bigotry on - unsurprisingly you won't hear much about it.

    Good to see that are bringing together in one report Islamophobia in and antisemitism in . Both a part of the same climate of hatred and we must fight them together.

    So why are they trying it again?

    The UK government was forced on appeal to return citizenship to two British nationals of Bangladeshi heritage stripped of it on national security grounds so Shamima Begum has good reason to appeal, but the process can take years.

    What in heaven's name have we done to deserve this pair running our two major parties at this most dangerous time for the UK since 1945!

    I grew up in Hatton’s Liverpool. He made the words “Labour” and “unelectable” interchangeable on a national level. The fact that today’s Labour has a place for him and not for says it all.
