What will it take for political leaders to explicitly call out the Islamophobic and racist nature of the violence we are witnessing across the country?

Politicians and journalists to use “Islamophobia” and “racism” challenge 🧐

When politicians demonise migrants, the far right listen. When they say refugees should be “sent back to where they came from”, the far right listen. When they complain about asylum seekers staying in hotels, the far right listen. Let’s promote a message of unity instead.

Looking for a Bristol based wholesaler (toys, sweets, activities) that might want to work with us to spend the £1800 we raised for the kids who were scared shitless in the hotel last night while we held off the far right who were raging outside. Any leads or contacts hit me up.

MPs have been told over and over again not to publicly name asylum seeker accommodation because it is dangerous. This hotel was set on fire tonight. They are your constituents too. You doxxed them in the Houses of Parliament.

This kind of smug, chortling derision sums up everything I loathe about the british establishment. I don’t expect these people to agree with her politically but the situation demands a modicum of respect and sympathy at the very least

Together with my independent colleagues, I have written to the Home Secretary requesting an urgent meeting in light of the far-right riots. We must call out this violence for what it is: rampant Islamophobia.

Solidarity with all Muslims, migrants, refugees and people of colour affected by the current violence. We must not only defeat these far right thugs, but the ideology that drives them. We must combat racism, Islamophobia and anti-migrant hatred wherever they rear their head.

there is nowhere else serving young British South Asians like Asian Network News - a team full of wonderful, talented and creative journalists. heartbroken for my former team

Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act became law in May 2023. We estimate that in 12 months since passing, Uganda's made an economic loss of up to $1.6 billion USD, or 0.9–3.2% of GDP. Combined losses over a five-year period are estimated to be between $2.3 and $8.3 billion USD.

What a proud day! Equal access to fertility treatment FINALLY made legal after years of work by the team at National AIDS Trust with BHIVA BASHH, Adam Hundt Deighton Pierce Glynn, Ollie Persey Garden Court Chambers. Well done Adam is on Bluesky @tristanjbarber Nicola Mackie especially.

Sorry, coming back to this, Heaven’s security is genuinely the worst and most problematic group of individuals I’ve ever encountered at any queer club in this country. That whole team needs a shake up, all of them are useless and move mad. 🧵
