Interfaith work by
https://nitter.cz/IFNetUK
is a vital part of strengthening community cohesion, and the inclusion of Muslim civil society within that is essential.
We will not sit back and let the Tories attempt to sideline and silence Muslim community groups like

.

Good to hear from former Israeli negotiator, Daniel Levy, on how we can advocate for and support a peaceful resolution for Palestine and Israel, and what options there are for this, with

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: Over 200,000 people have signed the Mirror's petition for an immediate General Election.

The country wants change.

The Prime Minister should call a General Election so the public has a chance to elect a Labour Govt that will get Britain’s future back.

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: The Tories inaction and sticking plaster politics are failing our healthcare system.

Labour will act immediately, with appointments for those in urgent need, and long term reform to restore NHS dentistry.

The Tories have run NHS dentistry into the ground, and working people are paying the price for it.
Only Labour have a plan to get Britain working for everyone again. 🌹

Senior representatives of Israel continue to use language endorsing genocide against Palestinians.
By repeatedly refusing to condemn recent remarks made by the Israeli Ambassador, this Tory Government is signalling its support for the destruction of Gaza. This is unacceptable.

Last Friday, I joined prayers at the beautiful Mawlawi Kurdish Cultural Centre in Hulme, set in a former hall and Sunday school.
We spoke of their work to support Manchester's growing Kurdish community, as well as the community's fantastic contributions our our city and beyond.

Extremely worrying to see such huge increases in hate crime against Muslims & Jews since October.
The Govt must take a zero tolerance approach to Islamophobia as it does with antisemitism & ensure all religious communities are supported in staying safe.

The Israeli Ambassador, Tzipi Hotovely, has encouraged the full destruction of Gaza. This is a clear call for the genocide of Palestinians.
I've written to the Foreign Secretary, calling on him to condemn this and to take the strongest possible action against the Ambassador 👇

5 years ago, the Government pledged to work on a definition of Islamophobia and appointed Qari Asim to the role. 3 years later they quietly dropped those plans.
It is becoming increasingly clear that they never truly intended to lay out a framework for tackling Islamophobia.

During last month's debate on Islamophobia, I commended all political parties in Scotland for adopting the
https://nitter.cz/APPGBritMuslims
definition of Islamophobia.
I am hopeful this will lead to all devolved Parliaments including Scotland's, formally adopting the definition.
