The Ministry of Justice is still refusing to meet with the lawyers or families of hunger strikers being held on remand.
This is a shambolic dereliction of duty.
I have written to David Lammy, again, imploring him to do the right thing before it is too late.

By eroding trial by jury, the government is cementing its legacy as a bulldozer of our human rights.
This is the behaviour of authoritarian regimes!
The right to a jury trial is a fundamental tenet of democracy. We cannot let it be destroyed.

So many lies. London is NOT, in fact “largely Muslim” (it’s 15%) and seeing the Niqab happens, but is rare. And why do you care what other women wear?

So many weird obsessions in here like that you couldn't serve kosher food to a whole daycare or wear a niqab to a parent-teacher conference. One person can pray in a park but not three together?

The four Muslim members of Congress have put out a statement condemning the Islamophobic attacks on Mamdani.
But it shouldn’t just be on the Muslim electeds. Where is Hakeem Jeffries? Where is Chuck Schumer? Where is the caucus?
Shame on any Dem elected who is silent on this.
