The day before we commemorated the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UK abstained on a crucial vote at the UN Security Council which would have secured a ceasefire in Gaza.
The UK Government doesn't think Palestinians deserve human rights too.

Meloni is known for promoting Islamophobic tropes about the "Islamisation of Europe", telling people to not vote for Muslim candidates because they are Muslim & leads a proudly neo-fascist party.
These are the kind of people Rishi Sunak considers his friends. We deserve better.

The failing Tory Government are using asylum seekers and Rwanda to satisfy the right-wing factions of their party.
This scheme is unfit for purpose and I will not support it.

It was a great privilege to go to COP28 and have the opportunity to hear climate solutions from experts from all backgrounds.
It's clear: countries need to be ambitious and follow through with commitments.

Triple negative breast cancer cases make up 15% of breast cancer cases in the UK each year.
Yet people with TNBC feel as if they do not count. It's imperative to raise awareness about TNBC and I'm proud to support

It is beyond reprehensible that the UK and US can watch over 17,000 people, including 7,000 children, be killed, 1.9m people be displaced, and places of safety bombed relentlessly and not support a ceasefire in Gaza.
It is our only hope.

In Parliament, I highlighted the need for strong leadership to tackle Islamophobia. The longer the Tories stay in power, the longer we have no leadership and no action on Islamophobia.
My constituents, and British Muslims across the country, deserve so much better.

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Benjamin Zephaniah.
He was a committed anti-racist and a brilliant poet, and he will always be remembered not just for his beautiful poetry, but for his leadership. May he rest in peace.
