Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame.
Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.
The loudest people do not get to define patriotism. In a healthy democracy, loving your country means defending standards of decency as much as symbols and slogans. Rachel Reeves is absolutely right on that. 👇🏽
A jury in the re-trial of two brothers accused of assaulting a police officer at Manchester Airport has failed to reach a verdict.
Mohammed Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad were both on trial of assaulting armed PC Zachary Marsden.
It's all on CCTV.
We're being taken for fools.
Primrose Hill will be closed on New Year’s Eve this year ⛔There will be fencing, security and a police presence to prevent access.
If you had planned to head there to get a view of the central London fireworks, please make alternative arrangements.
We disagree

Muslim communities have endured unacceptable hate and threats of violence.
An attack on any community is an attack on us all.
We've announced £10 million in additional funding to support vital security measures to protect Muslim communities from intimidation and violence.
Whilst Islamic call to prayer bellows from speakers in every city, the police have finally taken away Christian street preacher Ollie Sabotelli’s amplification.

We are a CHRISTIAN COUNTRY!
I’m horrified by the violent attack at a synagogue in Manchester.
I have been in contact with the Mayor of Greater Manchester and the Home Secretary, and would like to reassure Londoners that the Met Police are stepping up patrols in Jewish communities and synagogues across London.
My thoughts are with all those affected on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, Yom Kippur.
London stands ready to help in any way we can.

It is the honour of my life to serve as Home Secretary.
The first responsibility of government is the safety of its citizens.
Every day in this job, I will be devoted to that purpose.
I’ve successfully prosecuted 1000s of rapists
There are 35m+ “unvetted” men in UK
This is a sexist/misogynistic culture
1/4 of women are raped/abused
Millions of UK men rape/abuse women & girls
If you’re ONLY talking about the minority that are black/brown, then you’re a racist
