The news about the resignation of two @uklabour Councillors who were left in fear for their family safety, shows how dark things have become in the Labour party. They don't bully the Holocaust Deniers. They bully those that criticise the Holocaust Deniers.

No coincidence that @uklabour - whose members refused to condemn the Pittsburgh synagogue attack because there is *too much focus* on antisemitism - don't see anything wrong with having 100+ anti-Israel events every month. That - they can't get enough of.

Because the @uklabour leadership did not deal with #antisemitism and promoted the idea it was all a smear designed to protect Israel - the party has turned many good people into racists who dislike Jews. I've seen this hate grow in areas it was dormant and that is *unforgivable*.

One would hope that the opening of a police investigation into @uklabour #antisemitism will finally see and end to the 100s of 'ANTISEMITISM DENIAL' events Labour activists have been holding. It has been sickening to watch an 'anti-racist' party deny the problem & defend racists.

So let's get this straight: @metpoliceuk have opened a CRIMINAL investigation involving the major opposition party, @UKLABOUR and #antisemitism That's the police looking at (potentially) the next government because there is an issue with Jew-hate in the party UK 2018

'Jewish Voice for Labour' are pretending they deal with #antisemitism again. The *FIRST* action of anybody who really wants to fight antisemitism in @uklabour is to distance themselves from JVL. If you don't do this you'll never rid the party of the antisemitic disease.

Jews only have to give up on Israel to be saved. Until then, as Zionists, they deserve all manner of punishments. This #antisemitism isn't new, Europeans have done this to Jews for millennia. Watching antisemites hug Jewish converts in celebration of their conversion is chilling.

So Jenny Tonge has quit as Patron of @PSCupdates - that cleans up the PSC about as much as taking a single bucket of water off the Titanic would have done. Pleased she’s gone - what about the other 40%?

I used to wonder how monsters rose to power in plain sight of the electorate The current political climate is a sobering history lesson Too many people choose to defend the indefensible Bad regimes rise to power because people vote for them

I have just been no platformed at another UK university. Last minute cancellation. The other side 'doesn't want to debate me'. What is happening on campus is tragic and shameful. No room for different opinions and no free speech. What chance do the students have? - blog tomorrow.

Thoughts are with the congregation of the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - with those that had their lives taken from them, with the injured and with all their families. A brutal attack on innocent people in a house of prayer. Heartbreaking.
