    A piece I wrote in 2019 outlining some of my reasons for opposing the #HolocaustMemorial by Parliament. I lost my grandparents in the Holocaust; this is a subject close to my heart, but I sincerely believe this is the wrong place, design & content.

    As I said in the Lords: Cl1(2) requires her only to SEEK an extension, not to achieve or accept it . . .If she seeks an extension, and picks up the phone to Monsieur Barnier and says whatever, and he says no or she does not like what he says, she puts the phone down—end of.

    Wonderful to meet @FleurHassanN today for a brief while. What a speaker! Reminding us of the 850,000 Jews thrown out of Arab lands in 20th Century.

    Revolting. He thinks writing some platitudes in a book wipes out a career embracing antisemites and enabling antisemitism. We see through him. We know what he is. He fools no one

    This morning I went to the Oxford synagogue. As is routine at this & all synagogues & Jewish centres throughout UK, there were volunteer guards at the door (unarmed of course!) and locked gates. It's the same across most of Europe too. Thanks to @CST_UK for organising security.

    Replying to @davidsoskin @Fremond_ and @OxfordUnion
    I was rejected at first. Joined in 1963 when women were first admitted. Cost 11 guineas. They have mislaid the registers 1961-1980. I made a fuss! Was given vote conditional on it being challengeable if the result was close. Demanded new member card.

    Odd that letter in @thetimes about human rights signed by @Amnesty, who banned Jewish Leadership meeting & @libertyhq who refuse IHRA antisemitism definition. Human rights for the many but not for the Jews
