What sort of warped, selfish and anti-social mentality is this...? Go to a lovely, scenic, place - have a BBQ, and then trash it. We're lobbying for littering fines to be increased from £500 to £1000. @sayeedawarsi.bsky.social

I just watched @sayeedawarsi.bsky.social Peter Hennessy lecture on anti-Muslim prejudice. A few weeks ago I watched Simon Schama’s PH lecture on antisemitism. The @mileendinstitute.bsky.social is to be commended for organising these thought-provoking events. You can find both on YouTube.Recommended.
We have failed Palestine The failure of a world that left a people’s occupied for generations, failed to recognise the state of Palestine & condemned them to constant cycles of violence Horrific news emerging of Israel killing hundreds of children in the last few days in its latest attack on Gaza 💔
As someone who has campaigned against anti Muslim racism, hatred and Islamophobia for decades and has written extensively on this issue I support this decision by the government and its decision to re think how it funds the monitoring of anti Muslim hate. @mhclg
Exclusive: The government is cutting all funding from the Islamophobia reporting service Tell Mama, leaving it facing closure weeks after revealing a record number of anti-Muslim hate incidents in Britain www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ma...
Political ideologies are not above criticism Religion is not above criticism But people absolutely deserve to be protected from racism directed at them because of their religious or racial identity. Applaud the governments decision to consult on a definition of #Islamophobia
If this isn’t Islamophobia, what is? We heard loud and clear at our latest inquiry on gendered Islamophobia, the need for a definition. I note that at the end of the article, it says no arrests have been made. Tackling an issue, starts with clearly defining it. news.sky.com/story/school...

Not for the first time, the Leader of the Opposition was wrong. Please read the statement from the APPG on British Muslims below. #PMQs
Wishing everyone a joyous and love filled Christmas and hoping and praying for a 2025 that brings peace and dignity for all.
Finding the right language to emotionally connect with disenfranchised voters is a must. Populism is using simple slogans to complex problems and using hate and division for political gain. We need to respond with an inclusive optimistic vision of what our nation can be At the CFMM launch yesterday
Because politics should not always be tribal! Discussing prison reform, road safety and whether Santa needs a makeover with ex Labour Home Sec Alan Johnson
