It’s Purim today. Did you know that? It’s a Jewish holiday where you make a lot of noise and eat little poppy seed cakes. Jewish holidays are always defined by the food. Always. And on Purim you dress up. Fancy dress. Because that’s what God said. Purim celebrates the salvation of the Jews in Persia. By Queen Esther. The king of Persia, Esther’s husband, had an evil advisor, a kind of Arthur Andersen meets Adolph Hitler of his day, who told the king to kill all the Jews. Esther, apparently as beautiful as Meghan Markle, as gorgeous as… as me, as stunning as… a taser, she worked on the King and saved all the Jews. Hooray. So they could go and get threatened/slaughtered/exiled/deported/persecuted/reviled by the next lot. Which would then cause another holiday because the whole Jewish thing is one of survival. Against often ridiculous odds. We even survived Jeremy Corbyn!

Although that’s not over yet. There’s no fat lady singing and if she is, it ain’t no Hebrew song. The Labour Party are still being investigated by the IHRA and yet are still talking the same old rubbish but in fact its almost worse now as ‘the Jews’ have, in some hard-left quarters, become the scapegoats for the election disaster. Something pointed out to leader hopeful Rebecca Long Bailey in a meeting to which she said… precisely nothing. Keep the policies, blame the Jews. New Labour.

And Kier Starmer is, we now learn, married to a Jewish woman. And he loves Friday night dinners and the holidays and all his Jewish friends and family and, other than the mere fact of circumcision, is as Jewish as the chief rabbi. And I say ‘now learn’ because of an interview he gave to the Jewish press. Nothing to do with his own leadership campaign. So just one question for Sir Kier: WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU WHEN YOUR ENTIRE FUCKING POLITICAL PARTY WAS BEING INSTITUTIONALLY ANTISEMITIC ON A DAILY FUCKING BASIS!!! Just a little question.

Kier’s probably gone in fancy dress to the hustings today. I wonder if he’s gone as a character from ‘Frozen’ like Lila and Joey? I think he should, there’s always been something icy about that man.

Happy Purim
