Perhaps Baroness Warsi’s New Year’s resolution should be to think before tweeting about “Jews”. The noble and principled former ‘Senior Minister of State’ has made series of bizarre claims about the “British Jewish community” and “British Jews” this morning:
People whom I considered friends from the British Jewish community stopped all communication with me after my resignation @BoardofDeputies

. @BoardofDeputies @Laura_E_Marks I was shocked at the vitriolic abuse I got for resigning from people self identifying as British Jews

Just one problem: contrary to Warsi’s accusation, the Board of Deputies did reach out to her after she resigned, and it was actually the Baroness who ignored them. Laura Marks, vice president of the Board of Deputies, tells the JC:
“I tried her office, her phone, she never replied. Despite trying to reach out, I couldn’t get through.”
Cue reverse ferret from Sayeeda:
Pleased to learn today that @Laura_E_Marks @BoardofDeputies tried to reach out to me post my resignation. Tea in the new year?

That won’t be awkward at all…
