Wanting all humans to be treated equal should never be controversial.

Sagal is a British citizen who has dedicated her life to public service. She is the elected leader of Camden council, a community where she grew up and has lived for 35 years. I am proud to have worked with Sagal, she embodies the best of our values. She is a volunteer, school governor, serves her community with dedication and is an outstanding example of British success. This kind of social media post is dangerous and insulting. It ignores Sagal’s hard work and talents and the achievements of many people like her. Proud British citizens with roots abroad teach in our schools, care for the elderly, work in our NHS, start businesses and contribute so much to their communities and the country they love.
The front runner being foisted on the people of Holborn by Labour to replace the former Prime Minister Keir Starmer in our Parliament was born in Somalia. Do you understand what’s happening?

Please join me in praying for @kizzabesigye1 and demanding justice. He has been admitted to the ICU at Mulago Hospital. He is unconscious, unable to speak, and unresponsive even to a pain stimulus. Before he collapsed, he cried out that he was being injured. His sister, Dr Kobusingye, was in court but was not allowed to attend to him. What happened to KB? One day, @KagutaMuseveni and his son @mkainerugaba will have to answer that question.
I have learnt that @kizzabesigye1 has been taken to Mulago Hospital. He will not allow any government official to touch him. His personal doctor examined him in prison just three hours ago, determined that he urgently needed treatment at her clinic, and has still not been allowed to care for him. Denying @kizzabesigye1 his lawyers. Denying him bail. Denying him access to his own doctor. These are injustices no family should have to endure. We continue to demand justice for @kizzabesigye1. @KagutaMuseveni

Watching Commonwealth Games Opening and feeling proud member of Commonwealth. But as citizen also of decolonised country (South Africa) not so proud of now dead British Empire. Why can't we change OBE'S to Orders of British Commonwealth etc ? @andyburnham @Ed_Miliband @HMKCIII ?

Very depressing especially for all the many Muslims i know who have already integrated, and all of us who think their religion is as valid as any other. Islamophobia is obviously the new acceptable racism. Government and churches must act much more publcly theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

Hilarious article - i agree. @Keir_Starmer had several terrible policies (Gaza, fuel allowance, 2-child cap) forcing uturns, & didnt connect w people but wasnt a) mr Brexit; b) mrs mad; c) mr crooked shopping trolley; d) mrs robot dance or e) mr rainstorm theguardian.com/politics/202…

A resounding defeat for the far right in Makerfield last night & proof that voters will unite to stop the extremists. Now @AndyBurnhamGM has a huge responsibility to deliver on democratic reform & wealth taxes to break up power & wealth in this country
