The carousel of Prime Ministers keeps turning, but nothing really changes. This time must be different. Real change – transforming our broken politics so we can fix our country.

I find the desire of middle class people to call themselves working class plain ridiculous. I was born into a poor working class family, but from the time I became a chartered accountant have never called myself working class. @benansell.bsky.social

Today Ed Davey will call for a new deal that puts Britain back at the heart of Europe. Britain needs a new plan. For growth, for jobs, for defence.

I was a guest at the 10 year anniversary celebration of "Voice of Islam Radio." While attending, I took part in a panel discussion about the media. Watch on my website. www.mohammedamin.com/Community_is...

We should be tightening all sanctions on Russia to weaken its war machine. This waiver should never have been granted in the first place. I'm glad that Liberal Democrat pressure, spearheaded by Lord Purvis, has secured a guaranteed date for it to be scrapped. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I am horrified by the disorder and racist violence in Belfast last night. Far too often now, we see extremists exploiting people’s anger and grief to spread hatred and violence – with the help of divisive algorithms on social media. This has to stop.

"Don't abolish half a century of sex discrimination law" I am a signatory to this letter to Sir Ed Davey. If you are a Lib Dem party member, please join me by signing. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

There is no safe level of alcohol consumption. Any amount above zero causes some harm; obviously the more alcohol the more harm. You don't have to be a Muslim or a Mormon to completely abstain! Gift article. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/09/w...

There are now more Tory supporters who *say* they voted Remain than Leave. In the BES, which has EU vote information from previous waves rather than recalled vote, the split is 50-35 for Leave (vote intention is 2025 though). If anything, false recall is even more damning for the Brexit project.

Reform and the broader far right is about Christianism, an embrace of the æsthetics of faith as an exclusionary symbol rather than any real belief.

On @GBNEWS yesterday about removal of the chairman of the Bradford Hate Crime Scrutiny Panel. From the story in The Telegraph, it was clear to me that this person had been conducting herself in a divisive manner. www.youtube.com/live/CBb2f7B...

I aggregated the results of all of the UK's Islamic banks. A total profit of £30.9 million over 20 years is lamentable. It represents a terrible return on their shareholders' funds. www.mohammedamin.com/Islamic_fina...

The UK was right to recognise the State of Palestine. But recognition means little unless Ministers protect the territorial basis of that state. With E1 tenders opening on 1 June, I’ve urged the Foreign Secretary to make clear UK firms must not aid illegal settlement expansion.

A speaker at last Saturday's far-right rally pointed at Parliament and demanded Islam be removed from this building. Lib Dem peer Shaffaq Mohammed brought that moment to the Lords and what it meant for his sons who serve this country.

Though smaller than last year, the Unite the Kingdom march over the weekend was still sickening. The resurgence of out-and-out racism in the UK, from demands for remigration of British Asians to Antisemitic slurs on placards at both demonstrations, demands we meet this moment.

The Liberal Democrats are calling for a bold new deal with the EU, forming a new customs union. Fixing our trading relationship with Europe is the only way to turbocharge our economy and fix the cost of living crisis. Add your name: www.libdems.org.uk/trade

Kishwer Falkner wrote in The Times “Silence on antisemitism shames us as British Muslims” I was interviewed about her article on GB News and agreed with her. Watch on my new website page. www.mohammedamin.com/Community_is...

August 2025 found me in a pensive mood, as I realised that it was now 20 years since my first professional involvement in Islamic finance. In my monthly "Islamic Finance News" column I looked back at how the industry had developed over that time. www.mohammedamin.com/Islamic_fina...

We are the only non-populist party left standing. We are the only party that can defeat Reform. Join us, and fight to build our country up rather than tear it all down. 🔶🇬🇧

Yesterday on @GBNEWS about Kishwar Falkner article “Silence on antisemitism shames us as British Muslims.” Good conversation with the presenter @DawnNeesom. I broadly agreed with the article. www.youtube.com/live/6fzq1oW...

Lib Dems: 8 of the top 10 for recycling in England. Greens: Their only majority council ranks 162nd Talk is cheap. Recycling rates aren't.

Yesterday on LBC Nick Ferrari show about Shabana Mahmood telling a heckler to “fuck right off.” It is racist to assume she must have particular views because she is brown. Listen at the link below starting at 01:08:44. Free registration required. www.globalplayer.com/catchup/lbc/...

Kalamopod is a podcast series on classical Islamic theology, "kalam." The presenter, Dr. Hannah Christine Erlwein, is German, speaking impeccable English in a wonderful voice with a faint German accent. There are only 13 relatively short episodes. www.mohammedamin.com/Reviews/Kala...

No10’s account is incredible. I held Developed Vetting for nearly ten years and spent three years at the heart of the Cabinet Office. I have never heard of a Developed Vetting denial being overruled. Here’s why…🧵 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There is a pattern here. Both Chris Wormald and Olly Robbins appointed by this Government. Both sacked by press release when Starmer under pressure. Robbins may have approved Mandelson but it’s not credible that he acted alone w/o instruction from No10. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Delighted to work with the Transport Minister Peter Hendy to secure amendments to the Devolution Bill last night which will ensure greater safety for taxi and private hire passengers. Enforcement officers will be able to take action no matter where the licence has been issued.

Liberal Democrats get things done. We don’t do division. We do potholes and police officers, church roofs and clean rivers. We focus on the local issues that matter to you. Vote Liberal Democrat on 7th May.

Ok. My understanding of the electoral fraud situation is this. 1. Democracy volunteers put out a statement at one minute past poll close. They said this was at a level they’d not seen before

Always good to see scientists replicating previous famous findings.

Today was on the Alex Phillips show on TalkTV about Tony Blair’s article in today’s Sunday Times “We must end left’s unholy alliance with the Islamists.” Covered Britain's integration success, Islam v Islamist Extremism, and Britain's integration success. www.youtube.com/live/lg_bfIu...

Yesterday I was on @gbnewsonline.bsky.social “Alex Armstrong Tonight.” Ban the burqa? I regard wearing a burqa as “nuts.” But a ban would be a wrongful restriction of religious freedom. It would also lead to more women wearing one and be harmful for integration. www.youtube.com/live/cLhoNjc...

@octopus.energy CEO telling it like it is. (Source: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...).

I am on a couple of working parties lobbying the Government for proposed legal changes. One of the requests is a change to the tax rules governing "Investment bonds." (That is the name UK tax law gives to sukuk.) www.mohammedamin.com/Islamic_fina...

21 March was on GB News’s “The Weekend.” Topic: Nick Timothy’s criticism of the open iftar and Muslim prayers in Trafalgar Square. The page is linked below. It contains the video of the full 9-minute interview, and I recommend watching it. www.gbnews.com/news/nick-ti...

Yesterday was on Tom Swarbrick show on LBC. Topic: Nick Timothy MP’s criticism of Muslim prayers in Trafalgar Square. Also discussed whether I would like Tom to convert to Islam Listen from 01:03:10. I appear at 01:08:20. Free registration may be required. www.globalplayer.com/catchup/lbc/...

Some time ago the Government set up a working group to devise a new definition for Muslims that would play the same role as the antisemitism definition does for Jews. The official definition of "Anti-Muslim hostility" has now been published. www.mohammedamin.com/Community_is...

Yesterday was on TalkTV Kevin O’Sullivan show. Before asking me about the poll of British Muslims that I had been asked to discuss, Kevin raised Nick Timothy MP’s remarks about Muslims praying in Trafalgar Square after an iftar. www.youtube.com/live/OYesesK...

Yesterday was on GB News programme “Good Afternoon Britain.” The subject was a poll of British Muslims for the think tank Policy Exchange conducted by JL Partners. This found that British Muslims have a far more positive view of Iran than do non-Muslim Britons. www.youtube.com/live/m9Lm5TQ...

In over 20 years of involvement in Islamic finance, I have regularly encountered the assumption that when finance is Islamic, it is automatically ethical. In my view this assumption is just wrong. www.mohammedamin.com/Islamic_fina...

12 March 1912 | Polish Jewish woman Ala Gertner was born in Będzin. She was incarcerated in #Auschwitz in August 1943. She worked in the „Union” munition factory from where, together with other women, she smuggled gunpowder to the Sonderkommando resistance. She was hanged on 6 January 1945.

The 26 February 2026 Gorton & Denton by-election was strongly contested between Labour, Reform UK, and the Green Party who won. I appeared on an Australian news programme about it, opposite a Reform UK councillor. Watch on my new page. www.mohammedamin.com/Politics/Gor...

On @LBC this morning about the Government’s non-statutory definition of anti‑Muslim hostility. I explained why I supported the new definition. Listen from 02:04:16 before me talking five minutes later. Free registration may be required. www.globalplayer.com/catchup/lbc/...

Was on Matthew Wright LBC show this morning about Government appointing an “Islamophobia tsar.” I explained that the Government's aim is combating anti-Muslim hatred, not protecting a religion. Starts 02:56:00. Free registration may be required. www.globalplayer.com/catchup/lbc/...

Where is the new accountability for politicians? Where are the robust measures to really stamp out corruption and interference? The Representation of the People Bill before Parliament needs to do far more to stamp out the scandals that have rocked our democracy. #LisaSmartMP #Westminster

Was on @GBNews Breakfast about 07:20. Topic: Government’s impending appointment of an anti-Muslim hostility tsar. I was dismayed by the views of political commentator Charlie Downes. Starts 1:11:28. Free registration may be required. www.gbnews.com/shows/breakf...

I have written about Gatehouse Bank's financial history a couple of times. Updating it for the 2022 and 2023 results made me focus on its very poor return on equity even in a benign economic environment. www.mohammedamin.com/Islamic_fina...

A UK-EU customs union would kickstart our economy, cut red tape and build ties with our reliable allies in the face of Trump’s chaos. Why is the Chancellor so opposed? @libdemdaisy.bsky.social
