I appeared once again on Adam Boulton’s Sky News show The View, discussing the morning’s newspaper opinion columns with Ian Dunt, editor of Politics.co.uk.

The topics we covered were the resignation of the government’s commissioner for education recovery, on the grounds that there wasn’t going to be any because the government was refusing to pay for it; the hopeless shambles at Britain’s airports over the “red list” system of excluding arrivals from Covid-19 hotspots around the world; and the upheavals in Israel over the now distinct possibility of a new coalition government that will bring the 12-year premiership of Benjamin Netanyahu to an end.

One more thing…

This is how my website works.

It has two subscription levels: my free service and the 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 work.

But why not subscribe to my premium service? For that you’ll also receive pieces that I write specially for my premium subscribers. Those articles will not be published elsewhere. They’ll arrive in your inbox as soon as I have written them.

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 note on subscriptions

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.
