Our volunteers Tony and Michael talk about what it means to be commended for their Digital Object Talks! @London_HVG #LHVA2021
Privileged to have sat on a panel with @jessphillips and @peterkyle on domestic violence in faith communities this morning, highlighting the fantastic work of @JewishWomensAid #jlm2020
There is an urgency to implementing the #EHRCReport recommendations. We are exhausted from this fight; trying to prove the problem, endless debates about whether to stay or resign party membership & relentlessly explaining that it is not for others to tell us what antisemitism is
The #EHRCReport report does not mean that the fight is over. The party has work to do to make @UKLabour a place where Jews feel welcome. I need a poltical home. I want a party to campaign for. I want to see Labour back in a place where I can do that and be a happy member again.

🎙️"In 10 years’ time, I would love for the whole community to have reached a stage where everyone is aware of the impact that domestic abuse & sexual violence can have, not be afraid to confront it" Our trustee @judithflacks interviewed by @BoardofDeputies tinyurl.com/y4sve4o7
Jewish MPs forced from their seats. All in the name of a doomed project. History will be so harsh on those who sat waiting for their time in the light without taking a stand.
Lots of very brave Labour MPs with warm words for Louise Ellman from the comfort of their safe seats. It’s enough to make you cynical about politics.
A year after we met with Jeremy Corbyn to discuss anti-Jewish racism in the Labour Party, we have not seen nearly enough action. Please share this video as a reminder of our frustration & a reminder of his unfulfilled promises. #EnoughisEnough #OneYearOn thejlc.org/enoughisenough
.@themayhew Great to have Pakora (aka Guava) so settled into her new home and as much as she likes me it’s safe to say she’s already a bit of a mummy’s girl! @judithflacks

This deafness to antisemitism is why people level the charge of institutional hatred.
Asked for comment on @lucianaberger leaving and her comments on antisemitism. Jeremy Corbyn said: "I'm saddened that Luciana Berger has resigned from the Party. I would like to thank her for her campaigning on mental health in particular."
Following a genuine conversation last night about what the trigger would be to consider leaving the UK, this is a huge relief, and any other MPs who join this new group and damage the current Labour Party are true leaders #LabourSplit
From the new independent group of MPs on why they have left Labour
Strong start from these MPs leaving. Thanks for finally taking a real stand. Let's hear your policies and hopefully those of us who left the Labour Party and found ourselves politically homeless can be brought in #theindependentgroup
If a third of voters believe that Corbyn is antisemitic, is he really the kind of "leader" an anti-racist party wants to lead it? Jews can't be the exception to racism just because most people think we are all white and middle class (also just not true) thetimes.co.uk/article/a-thir…
Lots in this to consider when discussing whether Shamima Begum should be allowed to return- most forget that there are around 400 returners back in the UK already who are deemed not to be a security risk. Imagine they showed some level of remorse though bbc.co.uk/news/world-472…
