We’re obsessed with the idea that poor people might take more than they need, but we almost never question why billionaires are never satisfied with what they already have.

Sayeeda Warsi at the Centre for Media Monitoring event: "The choice really for British Muslims is, are we going to spend the next decade as we have spent the last two decades justifying why we are good people and how we're not the extremists and we're not..." (1/4)

We are seeing the Fourth Reich today, and there are no Allied powers to save us.

Tommy Robinson shared a clip that went viral, falsely accusing an innocent brown man who was in the park with his children of filming other children.

Quroum Beg, a fourth-generation Scottish man, is now fearing for his life after the video went viral.

That coke head is going to get someone killed.

Immigration is not the reason that you can’t get a hospital appointment, it’s the reason you can get one.

Please retweet for all the people who can’t seem to grasp that.

With Churchill's connections to the Bengal Famine hitting the headlines this week, it's worth revisiting our @EmpirePodUK

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

A Scottish fan chanted, "Free Palestine."

"I was a nurse in Gaza. I volunteered in Gaza. I’ve seen what happens. There is a genocide. Free Palestine."

She's a hero.

Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.

You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.

[IslamophobiaUK @uk_islamophobia]

A Muslim woman was smashed with a concrete slab in Dewsbury.

75% of Muslim women feared for their safety after the summer 2024 riots.

Before the riots: 16%.

Parliament held its first ever inquiry into gendered Islamophobia.

The Government published its response.

You probably didn't hear about it.

It refused the word "Islamophobia."

It substituted "anti-Muslim hostility."

A definition that "focuses on Muslims rather than Islam as a religion."

One report.
Eleven MPs.
Zero Muslim women at the table.

One sitting committee member — Rebecca Paul, Conservative MP for Reigate — has separately authored policy demands to ban headscarves for school-age children.

The inquiry's own evidence:

80% of Muslim women never report.

1 in 5 experienced a hate crime in the last 12 months.

Hate targeting Muslim women is more likely to contain sexual aggression than hate targeted at men.

Paragraph 23 notes the BBC's duty to provide "a duly accurate, authentic portrayal" of British Muslims.

The BBC did not lead with John Ashby being jailed for life for raping a woman because he thought she was Muslim.

Now compare.

Home Affairs Committee inquiry into the Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban.

HC 1553. February 2026.

On that panel:

Chair: Karen Bradley.
Conservative Friends of Israel officer.

Member: Peter Prinsley.
Board of Deputies representative.
On a Labour Friends of Israel-funded Israel trip.

Member: Jo White.
Labour Friends of Israel honorary vice-chair.

Outcome: West Midlands Chief Constable Craig Guildford retired.

Yesterday, Westminster Hall debated pro-Israel lobbying influence on UK politics.

Five Muslim MPs made the case.

Fourteen speakers rose against them and drowned them out.

Representation isn't symbolic.

It delivers.

What the Government refused:

The term "Islamophobia."

A dedicated hate crime action plan for Muslim women.

Expanding Section 14 of the Equality Act for sex+religion+ethnicity claims.

Mandatory teacher training.

The numbers:

£28.4m for Jewish community security.
271,000 Jews.
£105 per Jewish person.

This is good.

£4m to fight anti-Muslim hostility.
£40m to defend mosques after they are attacked.
3.9 million Muslims.
£10.25 per Muslim person.

A ten-fold per capita gap.

They will fund the locks.

They will not fund the plan.

All we ask is the same protections.

ACTION — email a Muslim MP this week:

Ask how they will demand Muslim representation on every committee scrutinising us.

A Muslim woman was smashed with a concrete slab in Tameside.

Eleven MPs wrote the report.

Zero of them looked like her.

Israeli Quadcopter drones were used in Gaza to emit the sound of a baby crying.

When people rushed to help what they thought was a baby suffering, they were shot.

This is what the Filton 24 did to one of those Quadcopter drones.

British Muslim Rizwan Javed, who works for Transport for London on their tube network, achieved an MBE for saving 29 people who tried to end their lives.

He deserves a lot of praise and respect. A lovely man. I’m very proud of him.

If you were to write this headline or article in a variety of US, UK, German or French media outlets, your career might be on the line and you’d probably be accused of antisemitism.

And yet the author of this piece is a former prime minister for Israel.
