Two stellar Jewish contributors to humanity and the betterment of society have passed today. Senator Joe Lieberman and Daniel Kahneman were giants in their chosen fields and their impact on the world will live long in memories. May their memories be blessed. BDE

What on earth is happening on our campuses. Yet more intimidation and racism. Time to get a grip and protect Jewish students on campus Michelle Donelan MP University of Leeds The Office for Students (OfS) NUS UK . It has gone too far.

When they say 'Zionists off our campus', some of them doubtless mean ' Jews off our campus '. That is therefore anti Jewish racism and intimidation. If against ANY other group, there would be instant action. So Uni of Birmingham Michelle Donelan MP , get involved and put a stop to this

Thank you Your Royal Highness The Prince and Princess of Wales for travelling to Leeds and so quickly after the announcement to bestow these honours on the most deserving of recipients. Our sport is truly grateful. We continue to be inspired by Rob Rob Burrow CBE and Kev.

With 4 hours to go, the     coverage of the Minnesota Vikings game, they play 5 seconds of Last Christmas. So with just 4 hours to go, I enter . You would have thought coverage of a sports match would be a safe space. So near and yet so far.

As I said on Talk, many people on these marches are peaceful. But they match side by side with extremists like THESE who violently deny or glorify the Hamas terrorist murders of 1400 people on Oct 7th . Right thinking people should have nothing to do with thugs like this

'The chant 'From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free' is nothing less than a call for the destruction of the State of Israel'. My comments in an interview on Talk this morning.

An unexpectedly delightful & uplifting morning in Leeds watching a Yorkshire Wheelchair development Festival. Players from teams across Yorkshire having fun and playing the most inclusive sport. Many families and friends watching too

Well there you have it. Confirmation from senior Hamas official that they will repeat the October 7th terrorist attacks again & again. This is why, regrettably, there can be no ceasefire. Hamas must be defeated. Calls for a ceasefire are inadvertently calls to continue terrorism
