Zohran Mamdani: "I am Muslim. I am a democratic-socialist. And most damning of all, I refuse to apologize for any of this."

Fresh blow for Donald Trump as left-wing Democrat elected Mayor of New York

New Yorkers elected Zohran Mamdani, a left-wing Democrat and frequent target of Donald Trump's fury, to be the city's next Mayor.

Zohran Mamdani Directly Challenges Donald Trump In Fiery Victory Speech The new mayor of New York hit the ground running — and he aimed squarely at the US president.

The new mayor of New York hit the ground running — and he aimed squarely at the US president.

Such ugly efforts to stop Mamdani winning - the level of anti-Muslim bigotry thrown around during the campaign should not be forgotten

Turnout in the NYC mayoral election is the highest since 1993.

Democrats come back ❤️

Great weekend on #labourdoorstep helping colleagues in Leytonstone with Bridget Phillipson & in Higham Hill after a productive catchup with our local police team at Higham Hill Park Cafe on Saturday👍🏾🌹I had a soya latte 👌

For many years I have supported the call to recognise Palestine as a state, as part of a two state solution alongside the state of Israel. Now more than ever standing for Palestine’s existence matters as part of securing an end to the horrors of Gaza. 1/4

Statement from the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan that reads: 'The absolutely harrowing scenes of suffering in Gaza are being made worse by the day, with no sign of the crisis abating. Starving children searching hopelessly for food in the rubble. Family members shot dead by Israeli soldiers as they search for aid. In heartbreaking scenes, innocent lives are being torn apart before the eyes of the world. The international community - including our own government - must do far more to pressure the Israeli government to stop this horrific, senseless killing and let vital life-saving aid in. Nothing justifies the actions of the Israeli government. The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood. There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.'

The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood.

There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.

Macron told parliament two weeks ago recognising Palestine was the way to secure peace because it would send a message to the Israeli government we will not stand by as the horrors in Gaza continue - tonight I urged the Foreign Secretary to do so now and stand with all of us calling for action.

It has been a great week speaking to residents on #labourdoorstep in Higham Hill with @kira.social & supporting our Council motion on prioritising play for children in Waltham Forest.

Our family hubs & community groups in Higham Hill do amazing work to encourage play.
