Is my right to self determine. History has taught me personally, that the most Jewish value you can hold is to recognize

11. long line of Jewish Socialists, and I stand with them in honor. Chag Sameach! It is Passover it’s significance is that we free ourselves as slaves.
With this Pesach, Passover, I will be freeing myself from the chains that bind me within the Labour Party,
