Attacks against Muslims are sadly becoming commonplace, and this week was no different. A knife-wielding man stabbed innocent bystanders, hurling Islamophobic abuse. My deepest sympathies to the victims and I thank the brave emergency services. Almost 24 hours later: No MPs expressing pure cold rage No media hysteria No COBRA meetings We are told there is no hierarchy in hate, but our responses potentially tell a different story.

Let’s not twist the facts, Jon. 70,000 innocent Gazans are dead. Yet, Labour have the audacity to rewrite their complicity as compassion. A Labour gov't may have “recognised” Palestine, but still: - Fuels Israel’s genocidal assault with record high arms exports. - Enables UK military co-operation at RAF Akrotiri - Refuses to impose wide spread sanctions - Rejects the ICJ ruling that Israel's occupation is illegal. - Can't even call it what it is: Genocide. It's not about politics. It's not even about what party you belong to. It's about what side of humanity you belong to.

Time and time again, Muslims feel the government are not listening to their concerns. The Unite the Kingdom is just another part of the long series of the government neglect of Muslim community concerns.

Islamophobia is a real and present danger. And it's destroying lives. Why isn't Labour taking a stand against it?

The Gaza genocide isn't a distant headline. There's a weapons factory right here in Leicester: Elbit Systems. Why are Ministers meeting arms manufacturers behind closed doors, while the public is left in the dark? I've put the questions on the record. The Government now owes serious answers.

Religious hatred in all its forms must be condemned. To call Islamophobia “made-up” dismisses thousands of real incidents — like Mohammed Saleem, among many others, murdered for being Muslim, and the Belfast Islamic Centre, attacked during prayer. You cannot fight hatred by pretending it doesn’t exist.

Illegal West Bank settlements are expanding, with Palestinan land being sold directly in the UK. Why is our Government allowing this to happen? I raised this with the Foreign Secretary. The response was abysmal to say the least.

All hate crimes are vile and should receive the same level of government response. My question to the PM is why Islamophobic crimes do not receive the same response as other hate crimes, and what he is going to do to ensure the security of ALL our children.

Let me be clear: ILR changes should never punish the hard workers who want to call Britain home and leave them open to exploitation. They are the backbone of our NHS and every essential service we rely on. Why is our Government turning its back on those who keep our society running?

Britain is at a dangerous crossroad. History has shown what happens when minorities are demonised and hatred is normalised. What begins with one community never ends there. We must build a Britain where our common humanity is stronger than those who seek to divide us.

I have submitted a bill to parliament for the UK to formally recognise the state of Palestine, this would be a significant step in supporting the rights of the Palestinian people. The time for Palestine and Palestinians is now. As Israel has done everything in its capacity to destroy any chance of Palestinian statehood – through settlement, land theft, and now the wholesale decimation of Gaza – British recognition will serve to reinforce the Palestinian people’s inalienable right to self-determination, which cannot be vetoed by Israel. This would further ensure a path to peace for everyone in the region and the world, and would not come at the expense of any community. In May countries across the world were joined by Spain, Ireland and Norway to officially recognise a Palestinian state. There are 146 of the 193 members of the United Nations that recognise Palestine as a state, the UK must align with these nations to support peace and justice in the region. The bill will be debated on 29 November and has cross party support and has been co-sponsored by: Siân Berry MP, Ian Byrne MP, Jeremy Corbyn MP, Stephen Gethins MP, Adnan Hussain MP, Kim Johnson MP, Ayoub Khan MP, Iqbal Mohamed MP, Brendan O’Hara MP and Liz Saville-Roberts MP. I urge you all to write to your MP to be part of the debate and support the bill.

Nearly 500 suicides a year are linked to gambling. Yet football is plastered with gambling ads, with 5000 in one recent match. We need real government action.

Hundreds of worshippers have been blocked, harassed or denied entry to Al-Aqsa. I raised this with the Government months ago and received no response. And now, Al-Aqsa is completely shut to worshippers and not a single person has visited this month. This is a deliberate assault on faith and freedom and must be challenged at the highest level.

If Israel’s actions are ‘abominable,’ why do we keep arming them? Condemnation without consequences is complicity.

Palestinian Land For Sale! I asked the Secretary of State about an event set to occur in London this weekend which would sell illegally-obtained Palestinian land. I’ll let you decide if this was a good enough response. Or is it just ringing hollow?

We don’t want ICE in the UK. Leicester’s policing data is not Palantir’s to harvest. These are our communities. Our families. Our lives. Not commodities. The public has a right to know who is watching. And why.

One of my first acts as an MP was tabling an amendment to the King’s Speech to scrap the two-child benefits cap. For too long, Labour dragged their feet while 109 children a day fell into poverty under their watch. But today, that changed - the cap has been abolished. Finally. I’ll continue working cross-party to ensure tackling child poverty remains an absolute priority.

We must have an immediate stop to ALL Israeli arms exports. I joined cross-party MPs in Westminster Hall to debate a petition signed by more than 100,000 people calling for an arms embargo. I queried the role the UK Cyprus Airbase is playing with reported unmarked US planes landing and taking off to make trips to Israel. We need answers, action and sanctions.
