This is what Harman Singh Kapoor thinks of white working-class people:
“Today, I’m in a lavish hotel in London, and a white man is about to come and polish my shoes. I told him that he would be recorded, but he refused. It’s fine. The white man will come to polish my shoes, and I will send you the photo. Jai Bharat (Victory to India).”
Rushanara Ali has been the Labour MP for Bethnal Green and Stepney since 2010.
In 2009, Rushanara, as a director of The Young Foundation, was listed by the @guardian as one of the most powerful Muslim women in Britain.
Rushanara has a long association with the Parliamentary Labour Party. She initially worked in the Community Cohesion Unit at the Home Office from 2002 to 2005.
It was in this period, in 2004, that Rushanara joined the British American Project (BAP) - a transatlantic organisation that was founded by the U.S. Embassy in London in the 1980s. The BAP’s funders include @BAESystemsInc@bp_UK and the @CIA .
The late investigative journalist Paul Foot described the BAP as effectively a ‘“CIA front organisation” set up to “promote sensible elements in British Labour”.’
As well as Rushanara, other Labour individuals currently members of the BAP include Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, Birkenhead MP Alison McGovern and Peter Mandelson.
Rushanara currently sits on the BAP executive committee alongside the former head of MI6 John Sawers.
Until August 2025, Rushanara was the government Minister for Homelessness and Rough Sleeping but resigned her post in controversial circumstances over issues connected to her rented properties in London.
Rushanara was involved in the plots, coups and leadership bids aimed at ending Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership and was vocal in telling Corbyn to “do the decent thing” and step down.
During the 2010-2015 Parliament, it was noted that Rushanara had claimed £642,982.00 in expenses.
At the 2024 election, Rushanara’s 2019 majority of 37,000 was reduced to 1,700.
In March 2026, Rushanara called for a ban on political donations in cryptocurrency and warned that they represent “the threat of foreign interference in our democracy”.
In the world of pounds, shillings and pence, the @ElectoralCommUK website shows that Rushanara has received £80,680.53 in donations. Her donations and perks include:
£25,000 in 2 payments from private healthcare supremo Peter Hearn.
£3,544.56 from the World Islamic Economic Forum.
£3,418.57 from @IslamicReliefUK

With her basic £93,904 salary, expenses (£326,562.73 claimed since 1st April 2024), donations, allowances, international travel, rental income from her two London properties, speaking engagements and perks, Rushanara’s fifteen years as an MP have been very rewarding.
And as an MP, Rushanara initially voted to retain the two-child benefit cap, voted to scrap the winter fuel payment to pensioners, voted for the welfare changes that will impact people who are disabled and unwell, voted against an inquiry into grooming gangs and voted to restrict trials by jury.

The real culprits of this below par performance so far at the T20 WC are Hesson and Agha. As someone who was extremely supportive of the idea of having this combination, they have really let down the fans >
We the public of Birmingham support the West Midlands chief of police. The Zionists and their sub-ordinates (politicians) have stated otherwise. That means they want to replace a credible independent chief with a lackey who carries out their bidding even if it contradicts public safety. Share and tag.
Ravi Shastri slams Gambhir 🚨
“It’s so easy to sit back in the comm box or on a podcast and point fingers, criticize coaches and players, and talk big until you’re actually in the arena. When you step into the real battle, results speak louder than words. Now the whole country knows who has achieved what and who just talks.”
“This is extreme, this is inhumane, and it is a government of cowards.”
Green Party leader, Zack Polanski, responds to the government's changes to Britain's asylum system.

⚡️JUST IN:
Pep Guardiola, while receiving an honorary degree from the University of Manchester, gave a powerful speech about Gaza:
"It is so painful what we see in Gaza, it hurts all my body...it is not about ideology but the love of life...It is about refusing to be silent or still when it matters the most"
Urgent:
The Freedom Flotilla ship is now only 110 kilometers away from Gaza.
They are getting very close...
