I've known @SadiqKhan for over 30 yrs. He's a feminist, a socialist & an LGBTQ+ ally. I'm so proud he's our London mayor.
For the record, he's as interested in introducing Sharia Law to London as I am - and that's 0%.
Those who suggest otherwise are deluded, or have a v sinister agenda.

We are grateful to Scottish Labour MSPs for adding their names in support of our statement on recognition.
Alongside yesterday’s statement from Anas Sarwar, it sends a clear message that all Scottish Labour MSPs support recognition of the State of Palestine.

Today I was deeply honoured to receive a damehood from His Majesty The King.
I wore a brooch in my hat belonging to my nan, who was a bright working class woman who had to stop working once she was married. If only she could see her granddaughter now.

I and others have been calling for sanctions on these extremist Israeli ministers for the better part of a year. The government is finally doing the right thing.
This must be a precursor to recognising a Palestinian state next week - not an alternative to it.

With so much happening globally, it's easy to overlook our oceans - but the continued abuse of our oceans is simply unsustainable.
The UK led efforts to get 115 countries to sign the High Seas Treaty. So why haven’t we ratified it?
