Afzal Khan MP @Afzal4Gorton@respublicae.eu

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: Robust debate is key to a healthy democracy, but abuse and intimidation should have no place in politics.

I welcome the launch of the @jocoxfoundation #JoCoxCommission call to action, with recommendations that will tackle this pressing issue.

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: Knife crime is at epidemic levels and is ruining lives across Britain.

As Prime Minister, I'll crack down on sales of these lethal weapons once and for all.

When I announce a ban, you’ll get a ban.

New oil & gas licences will mean higher bills & carbon emissions. Yet, this is what the Tories are prioritising over cheaper renewables which are the best option for the planet & our constituents' finances.
I called out the Government's hypocritical record on climate change👇

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: 100 years ago today, the first Labour Government was formed.

In the century since then only three more Labour leaders have won power at a general election.

This is the year we must break the pattern of defeat and write a new chapter of renewal. 🌹 https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/pat-mcfadden-mp-100-years-on-from-the-first-labour-government-the-party-is-ready-to-serve-again_uk_65ad84b5e4b085311681058d

With over 20,000 Palestinians dead, all hospitals destroyed or damaged and famine-like conditions plaguing Gaza, an immediate and full ceasefire is the only option.
I hope other legislatures follow suit, and we see an end to the unimaginable suffering.

The Tories have no interest in tackling Islamophobia.
They use baseless arguments against the
