Sheffield does not welcome masked boys dressed up as Blackshirts. We will not be intimidated by your pathetic thuggery. We will not allow racism to be normalised or people to be made to feel they don’t belong in their own communities.
I completely back Zahira’s demand for answers from South Yorkshire Police. How did this happen without warning? Why should people feel unsafe walking their own streets?
Sheffield was the UK’s first City of Sanctuary. We have a proud tradition of welcoming people fleeing persecution and war, and offering them community, peace and security.
I stand with Zahira, Fran and our communities. We will not be divided, and we will not let the far right define our city

Corrie vs Enders?
North vs South?
Tea vs Coffee?
A chance to disagree agreeably.
Thanks @roswynnejones for bringing us together for this fantastic campaign.
Why are voices calling for an end to the brutal occupation and oppression of Palestinians being cancelled?
The two Israeli directors of NAZA face calls for their citizenship to be revoked. Macklemore has been dropped from the remaining dates of Ed Sheeran’s tour after speaking up for Palestine.
Speaking out against the ethnic cleansing, occupation and alleged war crimes inflicted on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank should not be silenced. It should be heard and addressed.
Opposition to oppression cannot be selective.
Yet when it comes to Palestinians, it seems too often to be fair game to silence those who speak up.
Yes but all who use the NHS need advocates. How can this be achieved without multiplying commissioners for different services. And how does it align with abolition of Healthwatch? The needs of patients must come first
VAWG is a societal issue, overwhelmingly perpetrated by men across every community. It is not caused by migrants or any particular ethnicity. Women’s safety must never be weaponised for political agendas.
Great to be asked by @VP_Centre to help open the @LEPH2026 in Leeds at the weekend.
The conference welcomes global leaders across law enforcement and public health to West Yorkshire and is a chance to hear about new approaches and innovation to keep our communities safe.
Profoundly dehumanising, and utterly unacceptable.
The fact that the video was later deleted does not erase the message it conveyed. Dehumanising Palestinians in this way must be condemned unequivocally.
The silence of many is also sickening.
Today I was honoured to be sworn into @UKHouseofLords as Baroness Lowe of Armley.
A moment that makes me think of my parents, whose values of fairness, hard work and service have guided me throughout my life.
I look forward to championing the communities of West Yorkshire.
Anti-Muslim hate is a poison, fuelled by racist online rhetoric. It destroys lives and leaves people living in fear.
A woman shouldn't fear abuse for wearing a hijab. A child shouldn't face hatred because of their faith.
The Met has my full support in taking a zero-tolerance approach.
How is it “patronising” to say: stop building settlements on Palestinian land?
The West Bank is occupied Palestinian territory under international law. The E1 expansion violates that law.
But let me guess, you have no appetite for international law, just as you have no appetite for a two-state solution.
Your claim that the “Land of Israel” includes the West Bank says it all.
No UK-based business, charity or financial institution should be allowed to support, facilitate or profit from illegal settlement expansion.
