Today I marked Islamophobia Awareness Month with
https://nitter.cz/MuslimCouncil
https://nitter.cz/AmnestyUK
https://nitter.cz/MuslimWomenUK
Thank you to all MPs who came to show their commitment to fighting Islamophobia. Cross-party action is vital if we are to effectively tackle this hatred for good.

R to @Afzal4Gorton: The Labour Party has always been committed to tackling Islamophobia and we led the way in adopting the @APPGBritMuslims definition of Islamophobia.
A Labour Government will tackle Islamophobia and ensure support for British Muslims. @AnnelieseDodds @SarahOwen_ #IAM2023

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: Liz Truss has issued her latest demands for unfunded tax cuts, to the delight of many Tory MPs.
But working people can’t afford more fantasy Tory economics.
I've written to the PM asking him to clarify whether he supports these unfunded measures, worth an eye-watering £81.7bn.

Great to visit the port of Inningham with
https://nitter.cz/ABPHumber
.
With 17% of all UK trade passing through Humber ports, it's clear Inningham & ports around the UK need a bold trade strategy to thrive.
Labour is the only pro-business, pro-trade and pro-worker party that can deliver this.

R to @Afzal4Gorton: Highlighting the structural nature of Islamophobia has been subject of debate for decades. #IAM2023
In 2019, following consultation with academics, community representatives and legal professionals, the @APPGBritMuslims proposed the following definition of Islamophobia:

Great to meet with clean air activists this afternoon to discuss local solutions to air pollution alongside
https://nitter.cz/AndyBurnhamGM

Air pollution is not only a health issue, but a social justice issue.
Great work done by all and let's make MCR healthier and cleaner. 🌬️

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: 'Should the Prime Minister sack Suella Braverman today?' @KayBurley
@jreynoldsMP "Yes. Unless they are his views as well."
He adds 'If you have a Home Secretary that is so out of control and so divisive, they should not be Home Secretary.'

The death toll in Gaza has now surpassed 10,000, with over 4,000 children killed by the Israeli military.
I continue to believe the only way forward is for an urgent ceasefire 👇

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: Despite being Rishi Sunak’s first, and possibly only King’s Speech it must be one of the thinnest ever. This failed Government has nothing to say.
Nothing on NHS waiting lists. Nothing on energy independence. Nothing to on the cost of living. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/nov/07/king-charles-sets-out-sunaks-election-dividing-lines-in-first-kings-speech

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: Today is ASDA Equal Pay Day. #ASDAPayJustice
From today, the mostly female staff in stores effectively start working for free, relative to their mostly male colleagues in depots.
If @ASDA can find the money for Michael Bublé, they can find the money to pay GMB members properly.
