Israel’s hospital and treatment technology is 10 years ahead of NHS
As the person hoping to become Britain’s next Health Secretary, I don’t mind admitting that the scale of the challenge facing our health service can be daunting. There are record numbers of people waiting for NHS care, and they are waiting longer than ever before....

We can’t expect forgiveness, but we can try and earn it
At least he turned up for the interview, but sorry seemed to be the hardest word for Labour’s leader when pressed repeatedly by Andrew Neil to apologise for his failure to tackle antisemitism. He’s not the only one who should be saying sorry. Every single...

Jeremy, Jennie, you’re not the victims of Labour’s antisemitism crisis
In the 1993 film Groundhog Day, Bill Murray’s character relives February 2nd over and over again. For Labour MPs, the Parliamentary Labour Party meeting of February 4th felt like our own version of Groundhog Day: reliving our own nightmare of the Labour Party’s abject failure...

Ken Livingstone’s demise was a tragedy of his own making
Ken Livingstone’s exit from the Labour Party is welcome, but he should have been expelled. We must now make it clear that he will never be welcome to return. For his long political career to have ended in this way is, in many respects, tragic....

UK’s pitiful support for crucial co-existence projects
One thing Israelis and Palestinians have in common is poor political leadership. Recent international efforts to resurrect a meaningful peace process toward a two-state solution will amount to nothing so long as Israeli and Palestinian politicians lack the courage and strength to lead their people...

The vital role of JLGB in the high-tech revolution
The industrial revolution that is currently sweeping the world at an unprecedented pace and scale offers limitless opportunities if we’re prepared to reach out and grasp them. The story of one of my young constituents, 16-year-old Zachary Igielman, exemplifies the powerful role that Jewish education...

Losing our successful Jewish school would be a travesty
Faith schools are an important – and growing –part of the educational landscape in Redbridge. The increasing diversity of our community has seen Hindu, Sikh and Muslim schools open alongside their longer-standing Christian and Jewish counterparts. So it will be of concern to many Jewish...

We can win this battle – in our party and society
In 2020, the Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) will have been affiliated to the Labour Party for 100 years, making it almost as old as the Labour Party itself. Throughout the past century, Jews have played a leading role in my party’s quest for social justice,...

Toxic Labour leadership fight has emboldened anti-Semites
Sadiq Khan ought to be the most popular Labour politician in the UK. He has the largest personal mandate of any elected politician in British history. His victory in May wasn’t just a great triumph for Labour, it was a triumph for hope and decency...
