I dont think many in the UK knew who Charlie Kirk was and platforming his views given ongoing racial tension stirred by the far right is troubling, along with completely ignoring the ongoing situation in Palestine and literal attacks on foreign governments in Qatar and Yemen.

London is hearing white working class youth on the tube, with their friends from different ethnic backgrounds, saying 'wallahi, bruv'. Literally, MLE. It's not what Farage, or Tommy Robinson, or those right wing xenophobes will have one believe.

Looking at the workforce competition ratios for specialty training and I despair. What situation have our doctors in training been left in?

Did I seriously see on the timeline posts questioning whether certain Muslim MPs are 'real' Muslims? Can our community actually work together to effectively respond to wider social issues than resort to intra-community politicking and accusing each other of apostasy?

So someone making claims based on 'that's how I feel', considering that to be reality, ignoring actual evidence to the contrary, making grandiose claims whilst disparaging and blaming others. I wonder what cluster that might be?

A pole thrown through a Mosque window in Scotland. In the same year a 17yr old was sentenced for trying to set fire to Inverclyde Islamic Centre, and Aberdeen Mosque was also vandalised. But please, keep telling us there's no such thing as Islamophobia. news.stv.tv/west-central/p…

This afternoon's speech shows that Shabana Mahmood MP is out of touch with reality on migration. Migration is good for this country - for the economy and to do important work like in our NHS, but just as importantly, migrants become our friends and neighbours, and enrich UK culture

I've recently had requests from ethnic minority scholars seeking advice about working on ethnic health inequalities - it's great there's such interest, particularly in this climate, if only this was reflected at the structural and system level to support it.

This is the first time in my memory I’ve heard a public official speak so forcefully about how Muslims are perpetually treated as second class citizens in this country and how acceptable Islamophobia is to everyone, but especially people in power

A candidate putting out ads where they are personally speaking English, Spanish, Urdu, Hindi, and Arabic is one of the most American things I’ve ever seen in politics. You absolutely love to see it.
