turns out it doesn't count if you're pro-trans & pro-immigration

Fascinating how these Labour MPs have found moral standing as soon as they realise their seats might be at threat. It's almost like they are careerists with no values. Don't get me wrong, opposing Mahmood's immigration proposals is good. But where were they when these heinous proposals were made?

I think it's incredibly smart for Labour to also join in hinting at this. It's incredibly democratic and liberal, because we Muslims are not human, and not entitled to vote except by legal accident.

This is an illegal, unprovoked and brutal attack that shows once again that the USA and Israel are rogue states.

The UK must end our cosy relationship with the USA and our ongoing support for Israel.

Congratulations to Israel and the USA for telling the entire world the lesson to learn here is "if you're going to develop a nuclear bomb, do it faster than Iran" and to Iran "you better have a bomb next time"

Proud to support Cllr Oliver Moran’s motion for a Housing (Emergency Powers) Act. As I said today: no parent should have to share a single room with their teenage son or daughter, yet this is happening in IPAS centres in Cork.
Housing is an emergency. Let’s act like it.

Israel and the US have launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on a sovereign nation during ongoing diplomatic negotiations.

We should not allow the UK to be dragged into another American war.

We must do everything possible to stop this and uphold peace in the region.

There is a reasonably sized Muslim electorate in Gorton and Denton, but after swinging from talk about a 24k/79k electorate in Denton who were going to deliver Goodwin the seat, now it's the 30% Muslim population (probably less of the electorate) who apparently got the Greens 40% of the vote

Gorton and Denton by-election result

Labour's 38th safest seat in 2024

Not only was it not a tight result as most expected, it was absolutely seismic, in a seat no one would have expected to go Green one year ago.

If this is possible, what next!

Really disappointing to hear my local MP spouting transphobic dogwhistles.

*If* Labour squeak through, Labour voters, the party and the press are not going to say anything about this sketchy shit. It'll be held as a resounding victory for Noble Sir Keir and not a single lie told to the electorate.

Big win! 🥳

The European Commission has announced their plan to recognise abortion for what it is: essential healthcare that should be accessible to all.

💜 A massive congratulations @myvoicemychoice.bsky.social for the hard work, long fight and very funny memes along the way.

Men with an axe and other weapons entered Manchester Central Mosque last night before members of the congregation were able to separate them and disarm them.

The Draft Disability Strategy is woefully inadequate.

Executive Ministers must work with Deaf and Disabled people to create a strategy that will truly improve our lives.

Hannah Spencer, Hazel Chu and Mal O'Hara.

Hannah Spencer, Hazel Chu and Mal O'Hara.

Had an amazing day today canvassing in Gorton and Denton for the incomparable Hannah Spencer of Green Party Manchester.

Hannah is the politics of hope and unity in this by-election rather Reform's division and hate! If you have a vote in Gorton and Denton please vote for Hannah this Thursday 26th!
