14 August 1920 | A German Jewish woman, Ilse Scharff, was born in Karlsruhe. In August 1942 she was deported from Drancy to #Auschwitz. She did not survive.

🚨BBC News has picked up👇the story of a Labour donor appointed to the Civil Service 🚨 Some Government source is clearly panicking. But I think it defies credibility for a “source” to try to claim Labour donor Ian Corfield was just brought in for a “very limited” period to

Pretty good summary:

So far this summer in London, I have directly witnessed four (!) phone snatches. On each occasion I called the police to report and did what I could to help the victim. In this thread, a few observations:

23 August 1940 | A Belgian Jewish girl, Simone Frajermauer, was born in Brussels. She arrived at #Auschwitz on 2 August 1943 in a transport of 1,553 Jews deported from Malines/Mechelen. She was among 1,087 of them murdered in a gas chamber after the selection.

Scruton's introduction to his 2009 BBC documentary Why Beauty Matters vimeo.com/128428182. "At any time between 1750 and 1930, if you asked educated people to describe the aim of poetry, art or music, they would have replied 'beauty'. And, if you had asked for the point of

Next time you read a book in the park as a woman, remember it’s now a privilege. In Afghanistan, you can’t read a book. In public. As a woman. The Handmaid’s Tale in 2024.

Afghanistan remains a UN member but I can’t find any statement from UN Human Rights or António Guterres. In fact, almost no coverage from the usual “human rights” activists. Why? Why has the world abandoned these women? Why are we picking and choosing our humanity?

The new Taliban law in Afghanistan that demands not only covering a woman’s face and entire body but also forbids even the sound of her voice is like burying them alive before the eyes of the world. Don’t watch “The Handmaid’s Tale”—this is reality.

Lovely air quality charts in the Guardian

I’m fairly gobsmacked by the PM’s dismissiveness towards Andy Bell and all journalists asking about the wave of political appointments to the civil service. He says the allegations are only coming from Tories, nothing to see here. Taking us for fools. Won’t wash.

Credit to Victoria Derbyshire / Victoria Derbyshire for absolutely nailing Keir Starmer & the Labour government’s pre election false advertising and subsequent hypocrisy on cronyism. Just watch Labour MP, James Murray squirm during this interview.

If it is true that Jess Phillips - who is now a government minister - received preferential treatment in an NHS hospital because of both her status and her views on the conflict in Gaza, it would be an outrage. She needs to clarify the matter, and so does the hospital concerned.

Eye-opening stats on WW2. 🇵🇱

Another Masterclass by Douglas Murrray! 🇮🇱 I have literally never seen a more eloquent, calm, and decisive presentation on live TV. Douglas Murray just fit 100 books and 300 podcast episodes into this 3-minute soliloquy. He completely shut down Pierce Morgan’s argument,

I didn't plan to speak on the arms embargo against Israel, but after far too many ministerial replies of 'it's just a question of implementing international law', I called disingenuous BS - and double standards.

5 September 1938 | A Polish Jewish boy, Jchiel Bela Tiszman, was born in Płońsk. In 1942 he was deported from the ghetto in Płońsk to #Auschwitz. He was murdered in a gas chamber.

And I’m suddenly excited for Christmas!

Well done to the BBC for running this as the main story on its website. During a time when the world seems desensitised to unimaginable cruelty to women (Afghanistan), highlighting that this is unacceptable and headline deserving, is refreshing. bbc.com/news/articles/…

The UK's economy has stagnated since 2008 🇬🇧 In terms of GDP per capita - economic output divided by the number of people in a country - we've actually gone backwards. A short 🧵 on the countries that the UK was richer than in 2007, but which have since overtaken us...
