The far-right are sowing fear and division across the globe.
Progressives must act by tackling online hate, challenging extremist rhetoric, and proving democracy can deliver for all.

🔴 Palestinians in Gaza are facing an imminent existential threat, warn 15 organisations.
The UK must act urgently and take bold and concrete steps to ensure Israel complies with the ICJ's orders to prevent genocide.
No Robert you do not get to go on national broadcasters and say one thing and try and pretend you said something else after!
If you genuinely feel your comments on @SkyNews were inappropriate, offensive, incendiary and anti Muslim ( which they were) then start by apologising
Then you can go back to pretending you are a responsible candidate for the leadership of our party.
Not prepared to let you and other colleagues get away with this gaslighting and playing these games anymore- too much damage has already been done to our country and it deserves better than this populist nonsense.
A thread -
Now is the time to please check in on your Black, Brown and minority friends, family, neighbours and colleagues.
In many parts of the country, they don’t feel safe.🧵
🔴 We utterly condemn this weekend’s violent racist attacks by far-right extremists, and stand in solidarity with all those affected.
There is no place for racism, violence, or Islamophobia in our country.
.@BBCNewsnight@AamerAnwar slams @gmpolice officer for using UNLAWFUL disproportionate force on man in #ManchesterAirport incident. “If that individual used THAT violence & wasn’t wearing a uniform. He would be sitting in prison right now charged with attempted murder.”
Information coming out of #Rafah about further attacks on families seeking shelter is horrifying.
There are reports of mass causalities including children and women among those killed.
Gaza is hell on earth. Images from last night are yet another testament to that.

“What else do we call this other than the deliberate dehumanization of the Palestinian people?”
I called out media bias and racism, on Gaza, and brought receipts!, in the opening monologue of my new show #MehdiUnfiltered today.

Islamophobia is completely respectable and mainstream in the UK.
Just listen to this rampant, unchallenged hate speech.
While some will criticise it, there will be no firestorm over this disgrace, which is what would happen if Islamophobia was taken seriously.
🔴 Today, outside the Houses of Parliament, we sent a clear message to the UK government.
#Gaza is now the world’s worst hunger crisis, with more than half a million people, a quarter of the population, facing the most severe Phase 5 'catastrophic’ level of food crises.
Yesterday, the ICJ found a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza.
Today, the UK has joined others in suspending funding to UNRWA.
This is collective punishment — our government should be ashamed of its moral depravity toward Palestinians starving to death.
Why have all the commentators who cheered on Israel's massacre gone quiet after the ICJ near unanimously ruled that there was a plausible risk that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza?
You normally have loads to say! Why the silence?
1) The footage includes children stripped to their underwear.
2) Parading civilians or even combatants like this is a violation of international law.
3) Given reports of torture and summary executions, we urgently need to establish the well-being of those in this footage.
Today we held a press conference on Parliament Hill in Ottawa as a continuation of many meetings with ministers and local MPs to share our concerns regarding the violence in Gaza. We continue to urge the government for a ceasefire.

London now: Greater numbers for justice, more voices for justice, more determination to stop Israel’s killings and support Palestinian rights from millions of freedom loving people in the UK and worldwide.
