As a Jewish academic, I'm genuinely worried about the prospect of a Tory govt under Johnson emboldening real antisemites. A Labour government under @jeremycorbyn will lead the fight against antisemitism and all racism both in and out of Labour. Here's why- #VoteLabourHateRacism

The face of the Labour leader when Boris Johnson called his predecessor "Vladimir Corbyn" at PMQs. Such a laugh. (Unlike Johnson, Jeremy never played tennis with the wife of Putin's former minister for a £160,000 donation, but has protested against Putin's barbarity for decades)

Though I don't always agree with him, I've been a fan of @mrjamesob for some time. But the sheer ignorance, arrogance and hypocrisy he has demonstrated over the last 2 days is nothing short of breath-taking...

A telling reminder that when the veil is dropped, BBC News and Current Affairs is not all that different from an authoritarian state broadcaster. But they do great wildlife and children's TV.

Remembering when the BBC brought on the head of the armed forces as part of their 'Corbyn is a threat to national security' narrative.

One of the most successful propaganda myths of our age (with roots steeped in the legacy of empire) is that political corruption is something that happens 'over there'. The shattering of this myth is long overdue.

Something incredibly poignant about a voice so maligned and excluded finding its way on to the airwaves. A Jewish Zionist tells LBC 'I would happily fight for Israel and die for Israel but what I won't do is lie for Israel. And calling Corbyn antisemitic is simply a lie'

This will go down in history as a scandal of epic proportions, the full extent of which I'm sure is yet to be revealed

Today’s settlement is a misuse of Labour Party funds to settle a case it was advised we would win in court. The leaked report on how anti-semitism was handled tells a very different story about what happened.

beggars belief that Board of Deputies still think they're entitled to speak on behalf of 'the Jewish community' when they are themselves elected by a minority and treat dissenting groups and other minority voices with utter contempt. disgraceful.

. @BoDPres : "It beggars belief that after four and half years of failure on antisemitism, Richard Burgon and Dawn Butler still think that they know better than the Jewish community how to fight this vile prejudice". Full statement:

I disagree with David Miller's views on Zionism but wholeheartedly defend his right to express them. Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism, no matter how much apologists for Israeli apartheid say it is...

BBC & Guardian still falling over themselves to make a splash out of every word Tony Blair says. Meanwhile @MuslimCouncil scathing attack on Tory 'denial, dismissal and deceit' over Islamophobia nowhere on @BBCNews homepage. Still not getting this @huwbbc ?

John Ware has accused 'Corbynites' including @schneiderhome of omitting evidence. Ironically, the controversial @bbcpanorama he presented last year did exactly that...

A vote for Labour is not a vote against the Tories. Its a vote for the rigged system, corporate interests and wealthy few that both parties are now equally committed to defending, albeit in marginally different ways.
