I am disgusted that @England players who have given so much for our country this summer have been subject to vile racist abuse on social media. It has no place in our country and I back the police to hold those responsible accountable.

Horrific scenes from Rafah tonight. Too awful to re post- charred and decapitated bodies of children. And all while the world watches. I truly hope that in my lifetime we see those in power held to account - those who could have stopped this and failed to do so The appalling

Every minister , parliamentarian & staffer at the #downingstreetparty must resign NOW. No ifs no buts The rule of law is a fundamental value , the glue that hold us together as a nation. Once that is trashed by those in power the very essence of our democracy is at stake.

It is with a heavy heart that I have today informed my whip and decided for now to no longer take the @Conservatives whip. This is a sad day for me. I am a Conservative and remain so but sadly the current Party are far removed from the Party I joined and served in Cabinet. My

This is so personal for me -It’s taken 14 years to see another Muslim woman take a seat at that Cabinet table- I’ve waited to see this moment and we got the best ❤️ So proud to see @ShabanaMahmood become the first BAME Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary Huge role - brilliant

This is absolute nonsense Kemi and you know it. I met you alongside other colleagues over a year and a half ago and the definition was explained to you in detail - you were asked to detail your concerns / any objections and the basis of it . You DID NOT follow up. Instead all

We use the term “Anti-Muslim hatred”. It makes clear the law protects Muslims. In this country, we have a proud tradition of religious freedom AND the freedom to criticise religion. The definition of “Islamophobia” she uses creates a blasphemy law via the back door if adopted.

Israel is not Netanyahu Palestinians are not Hamas The protests demanding a ceasefire are not hate marches. The Home Sec must stop pitching community against community and emboldening fringe elements by making strawman arguments which she knew were simply untrue

That’s not universally true Sajid Don’t think the left “detested” me when I was a Tory Cabinet minister although many on the right did/ still do for holding a mirror up to racism within our ranks 🤷🏽‍♀️ #JustSaying

Replying to @PaulBrandITV
Here is the clip. Suella Braverman is branding all the pro-Palestinian marches as “hate marches” which have the aim, in her view, of “wiping Israel off the map”. She includes all the tens of thousands of protestors in that statement.

All decent people must unequivocally denounce such atrocities as the Christchurch mosque attacks and all other acts of violence against the innocent. Time to form an axis of truth-telling and decency against all fanaticism wherever it is found. melaniephillips.com/the-new-zealan…

The failure of the world to stop the killing in Gaza has triggered an escalation in the region that did not need to happen. Our misplaced and misjudged support for an Israeli government made up of corrupt , self confessed facists, convicted terrorists and now before the ICJ on
