I appeared on last Thursday’s edition of BBC TV’s Question Time which came from Liverpool. On the panel with me were the Labour MP Jonathan Reynolds, the Conservative MP and housing minister Lee Rowley, the leader of the Scottish National Party in the House of Commons Stephen Flynn MP, and Ayesha Hazarika, a broadcaster and former Labour Party adviser.
We discussed extremism, prisons — and the war in Gaza. The segment about the war was a shocking if unsurprising experience — up-front and close — of the Orwellian ignorance that constitutes much public discourse about Israel. The Gaza segment starts at around 28 minutes into the show, which you can watch by clicking below.

This is how my email posts work.
There are two subscription levels: my free service and my premium service.
Anyone can sign up to the free service on this website. You can of course unsubscribe at any time by clicking “unsubscribe” at the foot of each email.
Everyone on the free list will receive the full text of pieces I write for outlets such as the Jewish News Syndicate and the Jewish Chronicle, as well as other posts and links to my broadcasting and video work.

There is a monthly fee of $6.99 for the premium service, or $70 for an annual subscription. Although the fee is charged in US dollars, you can sign up with any credit card. Just click on the “subscribe now” button below to see the available options for subscribing either to the premium or the free service.
A final point…
If you purchase a subscription to my site, you will be authorising a payment to my company Dirah Associates. In the past, that is the name that may have appeared on your credit card statement. In future, though, the charge should appear instead as Melanie Phillips.
And thank you for following my work.
