Grateful @DSanderson_85 for the interview in @thetimes

Bad news for those who hate seeing Muslims contribute to our public discourse, but I'm not going anywhere.

The fight against hatred is one I intend to carry on and win, for the sake of my daughters.

From banning musicians from performing to banning government - those who support the actions of Israel are the masters of cancel culture.

As Macklemore has shown, this only strengthens the resolve of those who speak out against injustice. The resistance only grows louder.

Just been to see LIFE SUPPORT, remarkable film about Gaza as seen through the eyes of British and other international doctors. Utterly harrowing. Genocide. It is on Apple TV but should be on the Beeb. And every MP should see it.

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

While there is so much to say and analyse about the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks, today my thoughts are with every single person who lost a loved one on this day 25 years ago, and with the courageous emergency workers who ran towards danger in order to save others.

Tommy Robinson claims he’s going bankrupt, has no assets, and can’t get a bank account in the UK.

But does his evidence back up his claim?

[Husam Zomlot @hzomlot]

Former UK Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind called me a ‘silly, undiplomatic ambassador,’ following Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband’s significant announcement today. Here’s my response and a link to the full interview on @Channel4News earlier today: https://t.co/jySe4jfE8e

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

The UK Government's announcement of a trade ban on Israeli settlements is welcome and long overdue.

Scotland has proudly recognised the State of Palestine, and we are clear that Israel must be held to account for the genocide in Gaza and its damaging actions in the West Bank.

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

Together we are resolute.

As ever, those of us who support Palestinians rights and criticize Israel go out of our way to NOT conflate Israel with all Jews.

Meanwhile, prominent US and UK Jewish organizations do the opposite and go out of their way to conflate themselves, and all Jews, with Israel.

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

I welcome the Foreign Secretary's statement on illegal Israeli settlements as a positive move in the right direction

Banning goods from settlements & some restrictions on services is a welcome step, let's just hope it isn't the last one as the killings across Palestine continue.

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

Quite the opposite Ambassador, it's a very rational action. Pretty simple really - if international law is being breached with such impunity, then it should be punished.

And fyi, the UK sanctions all three countries you mention. Almost 3500 designations on Russia alone.

[BBC Radio 4 Today @BBCr4today]

"This is an irrational action... if the UK is really interested in dealing with issues they feel like are wrong, where are the sanctions against North Korea, China, Russia?"

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, who has accused the UK government and Ed Miliband of 'Jew hate' speaks to @annaefoster about the plan to sanction goods and services from West Bank settlements.

Israel’s message to Palestinians: die or leave!

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

Integrate! Reform scream at refugees in the UK. Then, when refugees do contribute to their communities, get involved in civic society, participate in democracy, Reform insinuate they're trying to take over.

Reform are full of conmen & grifters - luckily, they're being found out.

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

The front runner being foisted on the people of Holborn by Labour to replace the former Prime Minister Keir Starmer in our Parliament was born in Somalia.

Do you understand what’s happening?

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

The problem is not simply settler violence, it is settlements themselves.

Violence is a symptom, the root cause is forcing Palestinians off their land, and stealing it.

Time for meaningful action that treats the Israeli government as the rogue regime that it has clearly become.

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

Delighted my book "Under Fire" has been endorsed by so many people I admire such as Annie Lennox, @GaryLineker @DalrympleWill @afuahirsch & many more.

A famine being alleviated does not mean the famine was fabricated.

Yes, conditions have improved because, what do you know, when children are given food, they stop starving.

That is not evidence they were never starved.

Israel's attempts to rewrite history are fooling noone.

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

John is right to be proud of Elizabeth - her courage, bravery and honesty are an inspiration to many of us.

I know how difficult a decision this must have been for her.

[John Swinney @JohnSwinney]

Some news from my ever courageous wife. So proud of Elizabeth and all that she accomplishes.
