Seems the Tories have forgotten that the Normans invaded in small boats across the channel and conquered the indigenous population.

What people fail to understand is also that Zionism was not just a plan/ideology for Jews in Palestine, it was also a vision for Jewish *diasporic* identity. Much of Zionist activity has always taken place outside Palestine/Israel and was about communal identity and politics. Hence the attachment.

In the times when I went to the party's conference, the fees were based on income. And I think there was a hardship fund for those really struggling. Is this still the case?

I'm told that some Greens are already looking at legal action over worries that the 'Zionism is racism' motion is likely to be illegal under equality laws. This is a view shared by some lawyers. More soon.

Not sure it's the best idea to associate your party with foreign invaders who arrived by boat across the channel and slaughtered the indigenous population. If only the Bayeux Tapestry had given Badenoch some kind of clue.

The Conservative party's joke Bayeaux Tapestry, whilst having some funny moments, is basically cringe. What is unforgiveable is the racism. #ToryRacism [H/T @eberlmat.bsky.social @generalboles.bsky.social @seanjones.org]

I lost friends over antisemitism in Labour. I tried to argue that the fact that people on the right were trying to use antisemitism as a weapon against Labour (and they were, in bad faith) did not mean that antisemitism did not exist in Labour (it did). This argument still echoes.

I am deeply saddened that the "Zionism is Racism" motion has passed.

As Greens, we will always uphold universal human rights.

We will never tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment.

We will continue to stand in opposition to genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and the illegal occupation.

We will continue to call out the heinous crimes of the Netanyahu government.

And we will continue to work to ensure that the Green Party is an anti-racist party in every way.

We know there is no conflict between supporting the rights of Palestinians and the rights of Jewish people.

That place was called The Biz when I was at uni, then the floor below it was called The Works and then the floor before that opened up in 1999 as Bar Bars. It was typical of a fairly prosaic small town night club - only being popular due to Canterbury Council's restrictive late licensing attitude.

Welcome to Toryland, where victory is inevitable. My SKETCH. thecritic.co.uk/welc...

The Tory leader has opened her party’s conference with so many sketchable interventions that it might be a deliberate bid simply to overwhelm satirists. There’s the 30,000-word tract on her beliefs whose 16 pages on the economy contain no mention of trade and a single allusion to Brexit — “I call it Kemistry,” she told the Sunday Times. There’s the 87-foot “Birmingham Tapestry”, which celebrates Badenoch’s endless triumphs of the past two years. There’s the amazing levels of confidence: in her opening address on Sunday, Badenoch confidently predicted election victory with David Steel-like brio.

Was any of this a touch previous? Well, in a party that was performing less well it might be, but these are the Conservatives, the party currently enjoying a 19% lead in the polls, predicted to win a majority of 130 at the next election. It’s no wonder that… hang on, I’m hearing that, apologies, those numbers should be “currently polling at 19% and predicted to win 130 seats.”
