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...

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.
