The motion passed at Green Party Conf' actively undermines a 2-state solution, and does not address the rising threats of Islamophobia and Antisemitism here in the UK. This is a divisive motion that pours fuel on the fire of tensions in the UK, and will leave many British Jews feeling less safe.

Did you know 8 of the top 10 recycling councils in England are Lib Dem led? Mid Suffolk, a Green majority council, ranks 162nd, and Brighton was among the worst in the country when they ran it. @ollygrender.bsky.social put the figures to the government in the Lords in April.

On Thursday, the GB News website reported: “More than a third of Britons fear 'no-go zones' in London where sharia law dominates.” That afternoon, I appeared on the Martin Daubney show on GB News to explain that this story shows “The Big Lie” in action. www.youtube.com/live/s8aTW2E...

Disabled young people locked out of their own savings are a step closer to getting them back. Lib Dem peers yesterday defeated the government by 248 votes to 163, winning a change that lets families access Child Trust Funds and Junior ISAs without going to court.

We have to treat mental health with the same seriousness we treat physical health. And that starts with funding. While mental health services receive such meagre funding, vulnerable people and children will be left on waiting lists. We need fairer funding to get this right.

Do you have a SIPP which invests in individual shares of companies that are not resident in either the UK or the USA. If that applies to you, your SIPP provider may be throwing away tax refunds your SIPP is entitled to. www.mohammedamin.com/Finance/SIPP...

This is a stark warning: the climate emergency is here, yet the Government moves at a snail’s pace. It's time for a national strategy: funding cool hubs for vulnerable groups, mandating cooling and ventilation in new homes, supporting drought-affected farmers and heat-proofing NHS facilities.

Conventional investors can buy high-quality Shariah compliant shares, but Shariah compliant investors cannot buy high-quality non-Shariah compliant shares. However, this logic applies only to active investors, not to passive index trackers. www.mohammedamin.com/Islamic_fina...

Should conventional share indices outperform Shariah compliant ones?
Unlike active management, there is no reason to expect passive conventional investment to outperform passive Shariah compliant investment.

There are now more Tory supporters who *say* they voted Remain than Leave. In the BES, which has EU vote information from previous waves rather than recalled vote, the split is 50-35 for Leave (vote intention is 2025 though). If anything, false recall is even more damning for the Brexit project.
