RT by @Afzal4Gorton: Today marks the beginning of #IslamophobiaAwarenessMonth.

At a time when we’re seeing rising hate crime towards a number of communities in our city, it has never been more important that we collectively condemn these vile and ignorant acts. 1/2

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

definition of Islamophobia as a first step to tackling this type of racism 👇

It was great to visit University of Manchester today to learn more about their work on creating a more sustainable planet.
Thank you for having me and I look forward to Manchester's findings improving our recycling and global sustainability. 🌍♻️

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.

Hundreds of thousands of people have been protesting against the indiscriminate killing of thousands of innocent Palestinians.
Braverman labelling these as "hate marches" is disingenuous, dangerous and deeply contradictory to the right we all hold to protest.

The continuing cycles of violence in Israel &amp; Palestine only serve to make a lasting peace settlement harder.
We urgently need a ceasefire &amp; 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 am aware of the UoM student trapped in Gaza with family. They have no water &amp; supplies are minimal. The few aid trucks are not able to meet demand.
Humanitarian corridors must be opened and a ceasefire called so lives are saved.

I was delighted to join the

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

The loss of innocent life in Gaza is unprecedented and it cannot go on.
We need an immediate ceasefire now.

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. 👇
