I’m the daughter of Turkish Cypriot immigrants. I grew up in a working class family and am now the leader of Haringey Council, a place I was born and raised.
I’m not an influential voice, but here goes… immigration is not the problem. Lack of hope is.
Stop stoking the fire.

Exactly this.
No-one takes the decision to flee their home from persecution, with little more than the clothes on their back, unless their life depends on it.
That’s why our approach to refugees must be rooted in compassion, empathy and humanity.
Not division, prejudice or scaremongering.

There is no denying that Hamas are horrific and that the hostages should be released immediately, but this does not justify what is happening now. Not even close.
The world is watching and praying for an end to this awful situation.
