Bibi Khan and I also wrote to the Home Secretary on rising Islamophobia, antisemitism and civil unrest.

Haringey stood against the Far Right 48 years ago at the Battle of Wood Green.

We will stand against the Far Right again and again.

Following a meeting with representatives from our Muslim communities in Haringey, Bibi Khan and I have written to the Foreign Secretary calling for:

- Recognition of a Palestinian state
- An end to arms sales to Israel

Our communities are urging the government to step up

There is no denying that Hamas are horrific and that the hostages should be released immediately, but this does not justify what is happening now. Not even close.

The world is watching and praying for an end to this awful situation.

Why Labour shouldn’t shift right The answer to these bruising election results is to govern as the party of social democracy.

Most grooming gang offences carried out by white men, police chiefs say Elon Musk has used his platform X to wage an online campaign against the government over the issue of grooming gangs.

Let us be honest about the actual facts, especially in response to those seeking to cause division.

I’m the daughter of Turkish Cypriot immigrants. I grew up in a working class family and am now the leader of Haringey Council, a place I was born and raised.

I’m not an influential voice, but here goes… immigration is not the problem. Lack of hope is.

Stop stoking the fire.

Great to welcome the youth council from Noel Park primary school today.

Some very tough questions for Andy, Zena and myself on all matters ranging from the climate emergency to politics and our motivations for doing what we do.

Thank you to their wonderful teacher Mr Rasit for arranging it.
