Nigel Farage has been accused by multiple people he grew up with of extreme antisemitic comments and behaviour. Yet he's allowed to present himself as a champion of Jewish people. Meanwhile, our only Jewish leader, Zack Polanski, is smeared - because he opposes genocide.

I had 24 hours of travelling around Britain - well, to Leeds and back - and it was so unexpectedly lovely and hopeful, I had to write about it: www.thetimes.com/article/c646...

Why I love England — and I don’t need to wave a flag to show it
‘The train to Leeds is clean, on time and half-empty. I know this is rare, like finding a sixpence in a Christmas pudding — and so I enjoy it’

Watching the film I Swear, at first I was irked by the shouting and swearing from an audience member. But I ended up thanking him, says vicar and standup comedian Ravi Holy

Farage plays the everyman, but he’s not harmless, he’s not honest, and he’s not on your side. ❌

He stated over and over again that he isn’t a bully, while simultaneously attempting to bully Emily by shouting her down for the entire interview. What an obnoxious piece of work he is.
