This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

Weaponising the grief of Jews to further a modern day holocaust agenda is absolutely DEPLORABLE Never again was meant to mean never again for anyone & we will NEVER stop protesting to ensure freedom & justice for Palestine - which includes locking up Starmer. What a sickening man. #FreePalestine🇵🇸

Fascism does not begin with gas chambers Or genocide. It begins with hate speech, It begins with dehumanising minorities It begins with small infractions of civil liberties Chipping away at laws which protect all, equally. If we are not actively against fascism, This is where we can be led.

Child poverty in Scotland is lower than 30 years ago and falling, unlike the rest of the UK. But there is much more to do - by working together, we must deliver more joined-up services for families, when and where they need it. This is what Whole Family Support is all about.

For there to be no comment from the government on Musk's call for violence, let alone action against X, is unconscionable. An utter dereliction of its responsibility for national security and an affront to every member of an ethnic minority, who is being put at risk by this rhetoric.
