My latest. This is the first of a three-part series about antisemitism and the left. Part 2 will look at the EHRC report; part 3 at Corbyn's suspension.
But the first part, as you'll see, is a lot more personal. It's about my own trauma. Deep trauma.

The trauma of what happens when you grow up in a family horribly impacted by what the Nazis did. Even third generation survivors, like myself, can be horrendously affected. It's something that should be discussed far, far more.
Part 2 will follow in a couple of days or so.

Caught up with the #ReinstateJeremyCorbyn Zoom conference last night, and let me tell you, it is absolutely astonishing how few of his closest allies realise how bang to rights he is against the party's own rule book. I explore the issue in full here:

The EHRC report has been out for just under a fortnight, and Jeremy Corbyn has still not retracted or apologised for his statement that said "I do not accept all of its findings". Unless that changes, there's no way back for him, and even if it does, he'll need an NEC miracle.
As @AdamWagner1 laid out on @CorbynismTPM, if a senior Met Police officer had said what Corbyn did in the wake of the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, they would have been sacked immediately.
Whenever I see Jeremy Corbyn interviewed nowadays, I'm always shocked. Shocked by his gaunt, exhausted appearance. He's aged 20 years in no time.
And the reason I'm shocked is: that was done to him. By a witchhunt the likes of which I've never seen done to anyone else anywhere.

There's people out there who won't be satisfied until the poor man's in a box. With gold handles.
Movements which speak of 'solidarity' do not do to decent, kind people.

Do you know what I think brought him down? Shame. On two levels:
1. Being made to feel ashamed for even existing for day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, by a disgusting daily drumbeat of hysteria and nonsense.
