🚨When asked about new taxes, Andy Burnham said “at some point that might be having to ask for a little more"🚨
Andy Burnham isn't even Prime Minister yet but he's already talking about raising your taxes AGAIN.
We are heading for another summer of chaos with Labour obsessing about who they can tax to pay for more benefits.
It doesn’t matter who is in charge, the problem is the Labour Party.
After 27 years of campaigning, we’ve secured over £350 million for the complete rebuild of #WhippsCross Hospital. When Whipps was under threat of closure during a Labour Govt in 2007, I led the charge and organised a 21,000 strong petition to keep it open. Now the @Conservatives Govt have approved our plan, and we are weeks away from starting.
Yet this progress is at risk, Labour have made it clear they will stop all construction projects and not commit to this rebuild which is ready to start.
On the 4th July, you have a choice to make. Vote for me, an MP who will deliver a new Whipps Cross Hospital or a Labour MP who lives in Brent and who is more interested in Westminster politics than getting our new hospital built.
Thank you to our Parliamentary Candidate @GarethWatBucks for listening to parents’ concerns over Labour’s tax proposals on private schools. Sign the petition to scrap Labour's Parents' tax https://t.co/5eMnpDqNzd
Labour’s Shadow Minister for Equalities said someone can identify as a llama or animal and deserve respect if they do.
These people could be in charge of what your child is taught at school. (3/11)
Parliament has been dissolved until after the General Election and I am no longer an MP.
I am proud to be standing again at the election and look forward to the weeks ahead on the #generalelection campaign trail! 🗳 #BackBob

If you doubted the scale of the anti-Hindu anti-India propaganda
assault on Modiji and BJP, check out this list. As the meme goes 'It's not Modiji they're after, it's Hindus, Modiji is just in the way'. Do hegemonic ethnocidal forces still fear the rise of a pagan 1st Nation?
“Foreign Media who have been spelling doom on Indian Democracy are conducting themselves as Partisan Agents of Domestic Politics in India” - My Column in Today’s Indian Express
Yesterday, the Hindu community in Pakistan took to the streets demanding the recovery of a minor Hindu girl, Priya Kumari.
Shaheed Bilqees Chandio organization organized a rally, demanding that the Pakistani government take serious action to find Priya Kumari, a Hindu minor who was abducted two and a half years ago.
Addressing the rally, eminent Lawyer Nisar Ahmed Chandio said that Priya Kumari, who belonged to a Hindu family of Sangar, disappeared two and half years ago and there has been no news of her since.
Rajkumar and Veena Kumari have been looking for their daughter Priya Kumari and waiting in vain for some news of her.
Every year more than 1000s of Hindu girls and women in Pakistan are abducted, raped and converted.
The world needs to speak up for the persecuted and dwindling Hindu minority in Pakistan.

🕉️I am appalled at the shocking rise of anti-Hindu hatred across the country
📜As Chair of the APPG for British Hindus, we have recently published a report on this hatred
❌Urgent action is needed to combat this

Hindus 500 years ago could have never envisaged that Ayodhya Ram Mandir would have been rebuilt after Mughal Emperor Babur destroyed and replaced it with a mosque.
Today, January 22, 2024, these workers are being blessed and thanked for achieving something almost unimaginable.
JAI SHREE RAM! RAM MANDIR RISES!
Plans for the mosque for which it is reported 40% of donations have come from Hindus and 30% from Muslims.
Community rebuilding, cohesion and moving together at it's best! 3/3
is ascertained by an inscription on its walls... to have been built by Babur....” Fast forward 500 years and the Court rules the site to be for a temple and grants acres for a mosque: 2/3
Interesting insight from history for today's Ram Mandir consecration: Mont. Martin, 1891, British Surveyor: “The bigot by whom the temples were destroyed, is said to have erected mosques on the situations of the most remarkable temples;
