Tonight’s shameful scenes do not represent our culture, our history, or our people. Our great city is built on togetherness and acceptance, and Sunderland will forever be for all. We are stronger as one community. Now. Then. Always. ❤️🤍

There can be only one response to the racist, Islamophobic, far-right thuggery we have seen this weekend: utter condemnation. To our Muslim community and all those who have been targeted: we stand with you. To those engaging in despicable violence: you will be brought to justice

Now’s the time to please check in on your Black, Brown and minority friends, family, neighbours and colleagues. In many parts of the country, they don’t feel safe. A thread:

The Leader of Barnet Council, Barry John Rawlings has responded to information circulating on social media and national media about a planned demonstration in North Finchley this evening: barnet.gov.uk/news/barnet-co… Barnet MPS | North West BCU

Concerned residents have shared posts with my office relating to so called “anti-fascist” groups in Finchley which are clearly antisemitic. I will not amplify or platform those voices. Instead I have reported them to the police and CST. I advise others to do the same. 1/2

Thank you to all the police officers working tonight to protect & support local communities.

I want to thank all the police officers who have worked so hard over the last few days to keep our community safe.

The last few days have shown why it’s so important that there is no place for hate in our society. Yet incidents of antisemitism are reaching record levels. This is beyond shocking. We must confront this hatred (1/2) bbc.com/news/articles/…

Barnet Council Leader, Barry John Rawlings has thanked Barnet’s communities, and those who came to stand with them, for their peaceful counter-protest following the threat of a far-right demonstration in North Finchley last night: barnet.gov.uk/news/barnet-co…

On one of the hottest days of the year so far, we hope that lots of people will be out and about in Barnet's parks and open spaces today. But if you are, please take your rubbish with you and avoid barbecues #CaringForOurPlaces

Today marks the anniversary of Pakistan gaining independence 77 years ago. To everyone celebrating in Pakistan, in London and around the world, Happy Independence Day 🇵🇰

Happy 77th India Independence Day to everyone celebrating in London, in India and around the world 🇮🇳 London’s Indian community is an integral part of our society, making enormous contributions economically, socially and culturally.

The targeting of Muslims & minority ethnic communities has left many Londoners fearing for their safety, which is simply not right. I’m providing extra support for security at mosques during this difficult time, so our communities are safe - & feel safe.

Busy surgery in Edgware today. Spent hours meeting with residents and helping them with their issues.

Great to meet with Deputy Mayor for Transport Seb Dance to raise residents’ concerns about the disruption caused by the temporary closure of Colindale Tube Station and discuss what more can be done to improve bus services.

Another busy surgery yesterday helping constituents. It’s my fifth sit-down surgery in 5 weeks & I’ve also held a roving surgery. I’m completely committed to working hard to help constituents facing issues. If there’s any way I can help, please don’t hesitate to get in touch
