The scenes this evening in Portswood are completely unacceptable.

The Nowak family made a powerful call to us all yesterday to not let Henry’s death be used to create further division, hatred or tension.

There can be no justification for hijacking this tragedy to stir up violence and disorder. Those responsible can expect to face the full force of the law.

I thank the police who have tonight shown great bravery and calm in the face of disgraceful violence directed at them.

“I will speak up and take every measure that I must and should to keep our community safe.”

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood responds to yesterday’s antisemitic attack in Golders Green and calls for Britain to stand in solidarity with its Jewish community.

Oh so sad, what a legend. Loved all her songs. Will continue to listen. Her art will live for ever. 💜🩷 #RIP Asha Bhosle: The sound of Bollywood dies aged 92 https://t.co/5dTzmKJRm0

Love it. Beautiful Afghan lady.

Nowruz marks the arrival of spring, a season of renewal and hope. In these challenging times, I wish all those celebrating Nowruz well in London and across the world.

Oh so sad to hear this. Was her regular listener and she inspired me with every program. Dame Jenni Murray, former BBC Woman's Hour presenter, dies at 75 https://t.co/9ZaH1DTk8p

I’m proud of our tolerant and diverse country.

I’m proud that in Trafalgar Square we celebrate all faiths.

That’s British values.

The comments from Nick Timothy are shameful. Kemi Badenoch should do the right thing and sack him.

@christinalamb I don’t think people pay attention to most outrageous codes in Afghanistan anymore. Outrage stopped in 2021.

[Zarghuna Kargar @DearZari]

@bbclysedoucet Thank you for the idea and sharing your idea.xx

[Zarghuna Kargar @DearZari]

So proud to have had this chance as an end project of my BBC career. Please listen to the women poets of @Afghanistan. Poems of love, dreams, loss and patriotism.

I’m appalled by continuing restrictions imposed on women and girls in Afghanistan.

The Taliban’s new criminal procedure code legitimises domestic violence and targets women and minorities.

These oppressive measures must be rescinded. The rights of all Afghans must be protected.

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

If you only read one thing today, make it this interview with @NazShahBfd.

Her book, ‘Honoured’, is unlike any I’ve ever read.

@SadiqKhan describes it as traumatic. That’s right.

This woman is BRAVE and I really hope people read her story.
