Never let anyone tell you that journalism doesn't generate change. In November I revealed that Dutch Police reports undermined West Midlands Police's justification for banning fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv from Birmingham. I also spoke to the Mayor of Amsterdam who disputed their

You literally wrote a column celebrating a landlord who kicked Keir Starmer out of his pub.

I used to love your restaurants. Never again. We’re meant to be a free country. You’re adding to the tyranny. Shame on you.

Turns out 'community concerns' can get a demonstration stopped. How interesting!

The prospect of serious disorder has prompted us to intervene to prevent a protest organised by UKIP from taking place in Tower Hamlets on Saturday. It was calling for ‘mass deportations’ and had caused significant community concerns. More details 🔽 news.met.police.uk/news/met-inter…

Interestingly, David Lammy was a minister in the Labour government that banned Wilders from coming to the UK.

When Labour banned Geert Wilders from the UK in 2009 he was an elected parliamentarian. I don't understand what principle the UK Government thinks its defending in relation to Yuan Yang and Abtisam Mohamed.

Reminder that a British court ruled that Kemi Badenoch acted unlawfully by taking away taxpayer funding for this lot.

Kneecap appear to have given their support to Hamas last November in London at their concert @O2ForumKTown. One member, draped in a Hezbollah flag, shouted to the crowd "up Hamas, up Hezbollah". Watch below 🎥

Liam Byrne quite literally started a petition to ban Donald Trump from coming to Birmingham.

Deeply, deeply troubling that our Parliamentary colleagues, Yuan and Abtisam were denied entry to Israel. This is not the action of an open democracy. Open democracies don’t fear scrutiny. They know truth dies in darkness.

Yesterday MPs spent just 39 minutes discussing the possible closure of Scunthorpe steelworks. By contrast, they spent an hour and 17 mins on Israel blocking two backbenchers from entering the country.

Sally Rooney says she will "effectively be prevented from speaking at any future public events in the UK". I feel like the benefits of proscribing Palestine Action are being under-sold to the public.

The author Sally Rooney really gave testimony to an actual court that Palestine Action should not be proscribed because it might impact her speaking engagements in the UK. This is BEYOND narcissism.

You can't even break into an airforce base and damage a plane without being labelled a terrorist these days!

A lot of people now offering their thoughts and prayers were more outraged by Suella Braverman calling them “hate marches” than the content that is displayed and said by people on them.

I'm not interested in hearing about the "good" Pro-Palestinian supporters any more. The reality is the Pro-Palestinian movement has been riddled with extremists for decades, and the broader Left has done nothing to clean house.

People are rightly mocking this, but there are huge sections of the West who genuinely believe this. Too many people who get their news from Instagram are determined to see the West as somehow uniquely evil compared to actual repressive tyrannies.

Karen Pollock CBE, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust told me: “It is shocking to see these comments from a Member of Parliament. It is disgraceful to use the Holocaust as a stick to beat the world's only Jewish state.”
