OPINION: Nutters aren’t the only ones who nut
In a recent column for The Times on anti-vaxxers wearing yellow stars to claim they suffer like Jews under the Nazis, Hugo Rifkind took an entirely logical “meh” approach to the entirely illogical world of conspiracy theories, wearily conceding: “Nutters gonna nut.” Fair enough.

As editor of rival title Jewish News, seeing if the other community papers have bigger stories, or have presented them in a more engaging way, helps gauge how well I’m doing my job.

OPINION: Corbyn’s Labour Party has very deep pockets
Hold the front page. Jeremy Corbyn has finally admitted his party’s anti-Semitism problem. On Sunday evening, after news broke he’d endorsed an anti-Semitic painting, the Labour leader issued an unprecedented apology for “pockets of anti-Semitism” in his party.
