I'm aware of false claims that I have refused to back/voted against a ceasefire for Gaza. This is untrue.
To date, there has been no vote in Parliament on a ceasefire, but I - and many others - have been calling for an urgent ceasefire for weeks.

@jreynoldsMP "Yes. Unless they are his views as well."
He adds 'If you have a Home Secretary that is so out of control and so divisive, they should not be Home Secretary.'

This week's King's Speech proves that the Tories are no longer interested in governing.
Rishi Sunak finally acknowledged 13 years of Tory failure as he calls for change - I agree, we need change with a

The death toll in Gaza has now surpassed 10,000, with over 4,000 children killed by the Israeli military.
I continue to believe the only way forward is for an urgent ceasefire 👇

The increase in Islamophobic attacks is undoubtedly caused by the rise of far-right rhetoric by the Govt. This has real world consequences for British Muslims.
I spoke to

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: Despite being Rishi Sunak’s first, and possibly only King’s Speech it must be one of the thinnest ever. This failed Government has nothing to say.

From today, the mostly female staff in stores effectively start working for free, relative to their mostly male colleagues in depots.
If @ASDA can find the money for Michael Bublé, they can find the money to pay GMB members properly.

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.

💰 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.
