There is an antisemitism problem in @UKLabour.

@jeremycorbyn and the leadership have accepted there is an antisemitism problem in @UKLabour.

After a demonstration in Parliament Square and various meetings we were told that the antisemitism problem
@UKLabour @jeremycorbyn would now be taken seriously, and an in house legal counsel would be appointed to contend with the backlog of alleged antisemitism cases waiting to be processed.

Over a month ago, myself and others raised concerns directly with the party about the person rumoured to be
the front runner for this role. This individual had made worrying statements on social media and was identifiably connected to organisations and individuals that seek to deny the antisemitism problem. We were ignored.
This week, @UKLabour announced that Gordon Nardell QC got the job. That he is now the internal arbiter of @uklabour antisemitism cases means I have no faith in the objectivity of the process.

The NEC should urgently review his appointment.

I missed #bbcqt last night but for the hundreds of people tweeting/RTing - including from 1 MP - messages denying I had police with me at party conference/saying it’s a smear this is what the police said.

Read it closely.

The clue is in the word “armed”.
The police with me weren’t carrying guns. But they had tasers & batons.

I’m not posting a photo of them because there are plenty out there. But they were with me all of the time, for the entirety of conference, when I walked to the many events outside of the secure zone.
To the individuals and blogs that have posted pictures of me (some of them creepy) without police at various events inside the conference secure zone - that’s because it was a secure zone. Where everyone had been vetted & where there were plenty of uniformed/plain clothed police.

I am not a bystander.

As an elected Member of Parliament it is my responsibility, on behalf of my constituents, to do everything possible to secure a bright future for our country - brimming with opportunity, jobs & prosperity.
But by the Govt’s own assessments (let alone the many independent reports/inquiries from @CommonsHomeAffs @CommonsHealth etc) Brexit will take us in the wrong direction.

We will see economic growth contract, unemployment & poverty increase. The gap between rich and poor widen.
The Chequers deal doesn’t deliver what people were promised when they voted for Brexit.

The proponents of Brexit still won’t publish what their Brexit would look like (while they snipe from the sidelines).

A busy afternoon in the Chamber with 2 Urgent Questions and a Statement from @therea_may. It’s clear after today that we won’t be having anything like a “meaningful vote”, as was promised.
I asked @theresa_may what she had to say to the thousands of young people that took part in the #PeoplesVoteMarch, who didn’t get a say in the referendum. Her answer won’t provide any solace to the next generation.
I asked @DominicRaab how he can reconcile Gov preventing MPs from amending the motion on the final deal with the Leave’s campaign’s promise that Brexit would allow us to ‘take back control.’ He had no answer.

Africa's largest livestock producers listed in order of magnitude.

1. Ethiopia - 54 million cattle
2. Sudan - 42m
3. Tanzania - 24.5m
4. Nigeria - 20m

The advantages of extensive grazing grounds in the top 3 are obvious.

#THREAD
Nigeria can easily top the group and attain Africa's leadership position in livestock production IF it can get ITS LIVESTOCK FEED INDUSTRY right.

*Institutionalisation of ranching *Kickstarting a proper feed industry
*More training of livestock farmers

How do we achieve this?
Farmers (including herders and other livestock producers should be encouraged to form local associations that will help them gain access to training, pool funds to invest in equipment and also access loans from development institutions, Agric banks, and even foreign NGOs.

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

Some people do really well at fighting antisemitism in a very safe way that challenges few and achieves even less. Let's face it, it's a frightening thing to do not least because of the enormity of the hate directed at Jews.
#antisemitism
2/7 The real task though lies in being brave enough to take risks and challenge people who might not thank you for it; friends, colleagues, political associates - even family.
3/7 This doesn't mean risking personal safety, but enabling people to stay inside their comfort zones by only challenging the ideas you know they disagree with isn't an option if we really want to get anywhere.

The Cosmic Movement's penetration of Indian Freedom Struggle, Politics, Education & Religion.

This thread focuses on advanced threat perception from this group. Although this is a vast network covering many areas we concentrate here on key players driving it forward.
This guy is Max Theon original name Louis-Maximilian Bimstein. He founded the Cosmic Movement. As we will see each and every member of this network prefers to hide their original name, identity and history.
Many prominent people were involved with this Cosmic Movement as we will see. One of them was Tomáš Masaryk (who became the first President of Czechoslovakia) also the Princess of Rohan in Vienna and many others. However this group was actually a spin-off of the OTO.

#Thread: Our chair Omingo Magara articulated The Centre for Multiparty Democracy's memorandum to the Building Bridges to Unity Advisory Taskforce consultative meeting with stakeholders held today at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre. #BuildingBridges
The Building Bridges to a New Kenyan Nation is premised on the fact that Kenya has made progress towards consolidating its democratic landscape, but much remains to be done in addressing underlying challenges that threaten political, social and economic standing of the country.
Our democratization process and stability have been characterized by challenges that are well outlined in the Joint Communique of March 9th 2018 by H.E. the President Uhuru Kenyatta and the former Prime Minister Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga.

#thread on @UKLabour NEC Code Conduct on #Antisemitism showing how opposition to it is wrong. Links from Dr Brian Klug, Moran Mandelbaum, David Feldman, Josh Nathan Kazis on Kenneth Stern, Rhea Wolfson, Jennie Formby and Jo Lansman
Firstly this is the NEC code here. Please read. It covers conspiracy theory antisemitism, the 'socialism of fools' and antisemitism masquerading as criticism of Israel. These are the issues that have crept into Labour from the conspiracy theory fringes. thejc.com/comment/analys…
Jon Lansman @jonlansman states the new code is "Labour’s antisemitism code is the gold standard for political parties .. The new code makes clear that discrimination against Jewish people is unacceptable while allowing for legitimate criticism of Israel " theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
