Aye it's a complicated fringe issue in which both sides have justifiable concerns and there's no perfect solution... Excuse the poor choice of words but a general rule when discussing it should be "don't be a diiiiick"

Don't be a dck is an ethos everyone should live by. It would solve most problems

Why do the ERG hate scrutiny and feel no shame in going to the ECHR when it suits them

Because it's like the enjoyment and hilarity that you get from pulling someone's pants down in public and then being up in arms about it when it happens to you.

This is so heartbreaking

Union of Jewish Students has come out against the Israeli govt

"Following a meeting and vote of UJS National Executive Committee, which represents a cross-section of Jewish students, the following statement was agreed: "For over a century UJS has represented the interests of Jewish students in the UK and Ireland.

We remain committed to our core values of cross-communalism, representation, peer-leadership and Israel engagement. We are proud to stand on the shoulders of previous generations of Jewish students, who stood against racism and fascism and fought for a more just future.

Inspired by that tradition, we feel compelled to vocally denounce the potential inclusion of far-right Minsters within the next Government of Israel.

Likely Cabinet Ministers such as Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich do not represent the Jevwish values we hold dear. We unequivocally condemn their anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian racism and their homophobia, and are alarmed by the rise of extremism and violence that preceded this result. We cannot support a Government where these individuals are in positions of power.

If we as a community call out the Far Right in Britain and elsewhere, we must not turn a blind eye to the Far Right in lsrael. We will make representations to the Israeli Embassy in London, to discuss these issues and the concerns of Jewish students in the strongest possible terms, and urge our communal partners to follow. We will stand up for the Israel that we want to see in the world.

We will continue to critically engage with a wide range of Israeli political figures and civil society organisations to advocate for a just future for Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and harmony, in line with motions UJ3 and UJ7, passed overwhelmingly by our 2020 conference, which recognise the collective rights of both peoples.

N -Our hope is not yet lost."

Pretty good stuff tbh.

That's funny because if some goy said it the Tory goys would call them antisemitic.

What an absolute complete and utter Is it too late to enter him into the JA competition?

Whines for years on end about ECHR jurisdiction over UK domestic matters, then goes running to them as soon as he faces a UK domestic decision he doesn’t like.

I know one poster gets upset when Truss/Kwarteng gets mentioned, that great British growth couple, but I wonder how that poster feels about us just eclipsing Russia in the better growth prospects according to the OECD.

At least it puts to bed the "best in the G7" lie that conservatives like to trot out.

Decision imminent about whether the Scot’s can hold an Indy ref lads

Looks like we're going to be turning the next election into a referendum

Aaaand the Scots lose

No one really thought they would win the case... they had no argument but that's not really the point.

This gives them all they need for upcoming elections

Phew!

Kicks it back into the Political domain.

Sturgeon up (as leader of the SNP rather than as FM) at 11.30.
