The spectre of antisemitism is haunting Europe and the rest of the world. The oldest hatred is finding new forms of expression and repertoires, but the targets remain the same. A synagogue in Melbourne is set alight. Jews in Amsterdam are hunted through the streets. Children in Leeds, London and Manchester hide symbols of their identity. In the UK, from January to June 2024, the Community Security Trust (CST) recorded reports of 1,978 anti-Jewish hate incidents, up from 964 in the first half of 2023.

Change beginsLabour’s clans gathered on Saturday for the start of Labour party conference. The glossy brochure may say conference starts on Sunday, but those in the know are there the day before. Wes Streeting loves conference so much he was there on Friday. The slogan is ‘Change Begins’, plastered across the conference site. The security is noticeably tighter now Labour is in government. There are snipers on the roofs and security details for the Prime Minister.

Abigail’s Party is Mike Leigh’s classic dark comedy of manners and mores, set in an outer London suburb on the borders with Essex, where the emergent middle classes are buying their new-builds. This is a two-act play with five characters – newly-weds Tony and Angela, and our hosts Lawrence and Beverley. They are joined by Sue, divorced, middle-class, and worried out of her mind about the party her 15-year-old daughter is holding at their home. The eponymous Abigail, like Godot, never appears.
