Why does Britain welcome refugees from Ukraine, but not from Sudan, Syria and Yemen?

Where is the leadership?

When the Prime Minister is too afraid to call out bullying, he is sending a message to senior cabinet members that it’s okay.

Me on on another bullying allegation, this time against Steve Barclay ⬇️

15/04/2023

We remember the rise in hate crime following Boris Johnsons comments on Muslim women.

Racist conspiracies of south Asian & Muslim grooming gangs is rife.

So does the recent Labour attack ad play the same kind of politics?

Could a rise in hate crime be on Labour conscience?

Ramadan 1444 Mubarak🌙

The Labour Muslim Network wishes everyone observing the blessed month of a happy and fulfilling month.

This special month is a great opportunity to reflect, to bring our communities together & to bring ourselves closer to Allah (SWT).

For everyone that has been messaging me and asking:

I won’t be standing for Labour PPC in Uxbridge & South Ruislip this election cycle.

I am, as ever, incredibly humbled and grateful for the kind words of those who asked me to consider standing. So much love for my community, who were willing to believe in me ❤️

Who believed our country and our democracy had the capacity to send a working-class kid, who came to this country aged 5 and grew up on the council estate, to Westminster over a Boris Johnson.

From giving paid for speeches in America to holidaying in the Caribbean sun, Boris Johnson is anywhere BUT his Uxbridge and South Ruislip constituency .

Our home is not just a platform for your political career.

I spoke to Theo Usherwood this morning on LBC ⬇️

14/10/2022

While the question of early years centres, rising energy costs and cost of living hangs over Uxbridge and South Ruislip residents, our local MP Boris Johnson has seemingly moved onto his next career.

Well here’s a reminder: you are still the MP for our community. Act like it.

Parents left without childcare after thousands of providers close 22/08/2022

The closure of early years centres by Hillingdon Conservatives is a new low, even for them.

Hitting low-income families during a cost of living crisis is inexcusable, and we won't be standing for it.

Help locals fight back. Join the campaign!

Labour’s Islamophobia crisis is missing from the commentary on Forde – LabourList 20/07/2022

We are running out of second chances. The Islamophobia crisis in the Labour Party must be met with the intensity it deserves.

This is an emergency.

A Boris Johnson premiership was always going to end this way.

He is a man who has failed upwards for all his life. He has been enabled by the establishment for far too long.

I spoke to on this morning ⬇️

05/07/2022

Happy Birthday to the greatest creation of the British state - the NHS 💙

Healthcare is a human right. But it isn’t a right that was always guaranteed. It was fought for and won by a Labour government that had the audacity to think big.

I find the greatest measure of modern politicians to be a simple question:

If the NHS did not exist today, how many would have the courage to fight to create it?

Those who would dare to fight for such a radical idea, those are the leaders people deserve.

A brilliant review on my new book in ⬇️

“The Unlikely Candidate is both a cautionary tale and a message of hope. It is a must-read for any young, politically engaged people; especially for those thinking of getting involved in politics.”

Ali Milani: The Unlikely Candidate October 2019, on the balcony of a hotel in Istanbul, a twenty-four-year-old man sat across from his father sipping a cup of tea. It was the first time he had been able to do so in nearly three years; he knew every moment was precious. It was just two months away from what would be […]
