Galling when politicians stick to narrow set of political options that leave needs of millions of citizens unrepresented. But problem made worse by groupthink of unelected/unaccountable civil servants, public-sector managers etc.

Will be on this march. Proudly. Seems important to face down this ugly mood of antisemitic bigotry. To those horrified by brutality of war/critical of Israel, hope you'll also be on march to ensure this racism in plain sight is not allowed to fester & grow in your anti-war name.

Yesterday, in a question on so-called Safe Access Zones around abortion clinics, I pointed out that the police seem confused about intimidation (eg arresting people for silent prayer), while ignoring it elsewhere (eg anti-Semitism outside MP surgeries etc).

I've never seen Conservative benches so packed in 3 years here; some sitting on floor. Indeed all benches crammed. Like an A list celeb in the House. People genuinely thrilled & excited. Over David Cameron FGS. We're doomed..

Clearly, calmly& succinctly explained

capturing humanely horrendous practical difficulties in defeating Hamas. Also how its removal would be good for Palestinians as well as Israelis. And imp question: why no international condemnation of human shield policy?

Not sure about huge but lots of pupils bunking-off school for contentious political cause. History lessons perhaps more appropriate based on revisionist rubbish spouted by many youth interviewed on Gaza demos. Greta's climate strike precedent was always going to mean more of this

This needs to be read by everyone, regardless of views on Rwanda/immigration. Yes we know. But stark in how so brazen. What do these people think happens when voters' wishes are ignored/treated with contempt? What do they think happens if public concludes democracy doesn't work?

Good to see. Less inspiring is the number of subtweets and responses calling it a white march with contempt. Identity politics obsessed on judging people based on skin colour, is a scourge.

Well intentioned. Wrong move. Bad for democratic rights of every citizen to paper over poor policing. Will do nothing to tackle huge cultural/ political problem of unchallenged antisemitism/ toxic forms of identity politics & Islamism. Worst kind of legislative cop-out IMO.

Ian's thread raises ALL dilemmas of policing yesterday. Even-handed on fringes on both sides. Films of 'football' racists shock cos not normal. But BIG issue: normalisation of racist antisemitic placards/slogans. Perhaps minority(?) but shocking fact: fellow marchers just ignore

Well done for getting this story into public arena
https://nitter.cz/alanvibe
. Public rightly demanded police properly police real law-breaking on demos. Police excuse 'we don't have enough powers'. Ends up they do. But over-zealous use of such huge powers on innocent people makes things worse

Yes
https://nitter.cz/BenedictSpence
. According to this gas-lighting narrative, PRIOR to Braverman's article, all was calm. Weekly failures of policing; mass demo called on Armistice day; toxic, rising tide of Islamist/Identity Politics fuelled Anti Semitism- all were figments of our imagination

I have big disagreements with Murray & Suella but
https://nitter.cz/bencobley
spot on. Scary levels of explicit anti-Jewish hatred on campuses/streets of Europe & US over recent wks. Yet seems easier for too many to shrug, dismiss as over-zealous but righteous anger. Then point finger at bogeyman
