Thank you to
https://nitter.cz/hopenothate
and
https://nitter.cz/NorthWestUNISON
for inviting me to speak about tackling the rise of the far-right in the North West.
As the Tories continue to legitimise hate, community based initiatives to counter hateful narratives are imperative in fighting the far-right.✊

Recently, the APPG on Islamic and Ethical Finance met to discuss the progress of Islamic Finance in the UK.
Among the things we discussed was the need for grants and financing options for Islamic small businesses.
I'd like to thank

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: Wilko workers need answers.

💰 Why was the pension allowed to run a deficit - when owners were taking dividends?
🏬 Were there warnings in 2022 that the business needed support?

That’s why we’ve urged the @CommonsBTC to bring the owners to parliament for answers.

Bombing a refugee camp & killing civilians, even if to target a Hamas fighter, is unconscionable.
Collective punishment of Palestinians by the Israeli Govt is deplorable & must be met with international condemnation.
Gazans urgently need the siege lifted & a ceasefire called.

Today is the start of Islamophobia Awareness Month. Most victims of religious hate crime are Muslim - more desperately needs to be done to tackle this.
I'm urging the PM to adopt to
https://nitter.cz/APPGBritMuslims
definition of Islamophobia as a first step to tackling this type of racism 👇

The Rusholme community held a peace vigil for Gaza and Israel - we prayed or reflected for all victims.
The international community needs to continue coming together to advocate for an end to the ongoing violence so that people in the region can live safe and peaceful lives.

This is excellent news.
Plans to close ticket offices were never anything but cynical and would have been disastrous for my constituents. Well done to all those who have been campaigning on this.

The continuing cycles of violence in Israel & Palestine only serve to make a lasting peace settlement harder.
We urgently need a ceasefire & the opening of humanitarian corridors to stop further loss of life.

As October draws to a close, I want to honour the extraordinary work of Louise Da-Cocodia, also known as Mrs D. Louise made history as the first Black senior nursing officer in Manchester and worked tirelessly to campaign against racism in the health sector.

I was delighted to join the

Labour sees net zero and climate targets as an opportunity not an obligation.🌹

27th October marks Kashmir Black Day and I am proud to stand in solidarity with all Kashmiris to show my longstanding support.
For too long, the plight of the Kashmiri people has been ignored by the Government. We must act now to uphold human rights and UN resolutions. 👇

A pleasure to join my dear friend

for a packed meeting of the
