A print of a photo of a man with a beard lying on the tray of a Canon printer. The man’s name is Charlie and he was telling me about how important his pet dog was to him when living on the street

The stretch target for the Outsiders exhibition was three venues and 20,000 visitors. So far it’s been seen by around 120,000 visitors and has had 12 bookings. The feedback on the exhibition has been overwhelmingly positive with many people saying it has changed their views on homelessness.

Board suspends five Deputies over Israel letter, warns another 31 - Jewish News The decision comes two months after 36 Deputies signed a letter published in the Financial Times vocally criticising the Israeli government

Think progressive Judaism should threaten disaffiliation from BoD over this - we shouldn't legitimise an organisation that suspends our representatives for expressing a mainstream British Jewish view of Israel.

A biblical hatred is engulfing both sides in the Gaza conflict – and blinding them to reason | Jonathan Freedland Israel starving Palestinians, two killings at a Jewish museum: both are atrocities. But vanishingly few can see it, says Guardian columnist Jonathan Freedland

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours.

Balancing the books on the back of some of the most ill and disabled people in the country is cruel and callous. That’s why I’m supporting campaigners saying these cuts must not go ahead - and the government must think again.

It's a tragic thing to know that because I'm an Israeli Jew, if someone randomly slaughtered me on the street of America, a great deal of people would call my murderer a hero.
