Man who rammed vehicle into Michigan synagogue killed by security staff No serious casualties among those at Temple Israel, and explosives reportedly found in suspect’s vehicle

Deeply concerned about this attack on a synagogue, what's worse is thete was a school attached.

We must stand in solidarity with our Jewish brothers and sisters and work to heal the divides in our societies

Could have stood to watch a lot more of @mothinali.bsky.social tonight. 👏👏👏

Kindness is crucial in government. So is caring and listening to others. We've had too little of those things for far too long.

But we can change that.

An image of Peter Mandelson and Keir Starmer in front of text which reads:

STARMER MUST
GO

Green Party
Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE169GQ

Keir Starmer knew that Peter Mandelson continued his close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein's conviction for child sex offences.

He brought him into the heart of the Labour government anyway.

Starmer cannot continue as Prime Minister. He must go.

Definitions of Islamophobia exist, almost unanimously accepted by all Muslim organisations, there's even an APPG one!

The new definition falls short in providing protection for British Muslims, at a time when Islamophobic hate crimes are skyrocketting

We just need to implement what we already have

Full solidarity with Hannah Spencer, this is absolutely disgraceful behaviour.
This is a direct attack on our democracy, Hannah is an elected MP that has the right to walk free in the city she represents without these extremists behaving like thugs

My critics want silence – but advocating for peace is what democracy demands A week ago, I attended the apolitical Stop The War Coalition protest in Parliament Square alongside hundreds of fellow protesters. Since then,…

Muslim voices speaking about war in the Middle East are treated not as participants in democratic debate but as suspects within it. Our motives are interrogated, our loyalties questioned, and our words interpreted through a presumption of bad faith.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

When the establishment attacks, you know you’re hitting the mark.

Labour are toxic for British politics, they'll do anything out of desperation

We saw this in Gorton & Denton and we’re seeing it now. Intimidation, smears it doesn’t wash anymore.

Greens deputy leader calls for apology from Starmer over false claims that led to death threats Mothin Ali fears for his life after anti-war protest was wrongly described as being in support of Iranian regime

Thank you @mothinali.bsky.social. The Tories have a well-documented history of Islamophobia, having been called out by @sayeedawarsi.bsky.social repeatedly since 2014.

There is no place for Islamophobia in politics.

Starmer, Shellbrooke, Taylor should be ashamed.
Desperate, they know their time as MPs is up so they're lashing out hoping to score some political points.
@greenparty.org.uk is going to replace them!
The majority of the UK is with me, no more illegal wars!

Our drug policy makes sense, @greendrugpolicy.bsky.social. The war on drugs has failed we need take a public health approach to help people, that means legalise and regulate and follow advice from proper health professionals.
