Tommy Robinson has endorsed Robert Jenrick's decision to turn up in person to offer support and solidarity to the asylum seeker Hamit Coskun, who shouted, “Koran is burning”, “Fuck Islam” and “Islam is the religion of terrorism" while burning the Quran.

"We need two things.. we need to guarantee access for international organisations & the UN.. [&] we need accountability. Israel as a perpetrator cannot go without accountability for all the war crimes that have been committed in Gaza" Aseel Baidoun from @medicalaidpal.bsky.social #GMB

Not so long ago, Jenrick would have been sacked by now. His comments were racially selective and many will say racist, failed to mention other parts of white majority Britain and he further stigmatised ethnic communities. But in these times he’s still being talked about as a next leader.

I've responded to Robert Jenrick's vile comments in @thetimes.com www.thetimes.com/life-style/c...

Drove to Handsworth today to my mother’s grave. One minute in and saw a number of white people. I want my country back!!!!

This is Brownhills, where Jenrick was speaking from. About the lack of integration. www.expressandstar.com/news/local-h...

He spoke at the Aldridge/Brownhills conservative club. An association that back in the 80's, when my husband played snooker, I was not allowed in to accompany him as it was against the house rules to admit women. I'm glad Andy Street stood up for the people of Hands worth.

Israel to spend over half a billion shekels turning ChatGPT into public diplomacy tool. They’ll pay US firms, influencers, and influence AI platforms like ChatGPT to shape pro-Israel narratives online and counter growing criticism among young Americans www.ynetnews.com/tech-and-dig...

Jenrick was speaking from Aldridge, Brownhills an area that has upto 90% of white British residents. This makes it less mixed than the UK average and therefore little chance of social integration because of low diversity. But Jenrick didn’t see that. Is that racist?

Jenrick says, Handsworth the area I went to school in isn’t integrated as he didn’t see a white face and the closest he has seen to a slum? So is he saying we should pay minorities much more for their low paid jobs and welcome them to The Cotswolds with their mosques and temples???

As people of colour we are constantly asked to call out issues in our community. And most of the time, rightly so. It makes us stronger. A middle aged white man makes a rounded and critical observation of some in his own community (white men) and he’s vilified by some. Why?

@zackpolanski.bsky.social : "I think its really problematic if someone is trying to weaponise the attack that happened yesterday to try and silence protest in this country against the genocide. They're separate issues.. we need to be clear what this govt is doing"

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is asked about people still protesting against Israels actions in Gaza in the aftermath of yesterdays attack on Jews in Manchester #GMB

Thoughts with our Jewish brothers and sisters, following the awful stabbing incident in Manchester. Sending love, strength and solidarity to the entire community at this time ❤️

If the media and politicians continually discriminate against Muslims,people of colour and women, why are we surprised that some police officers wont be influenced by that? A former PM once likened Muslim women to bank robbers, and we have heard the worst language about migrants since Enoch Powell.

Mail Online appears to have chosen not to run the allegations and clear evidence of racism, misogyny and violence in the Met Police on their main page.

The Panorama doc was disturbing. Many women, migrants, Muslims and all decent people will be wondering if the culture in the Met police is a reflection of wider society - a microcosm. A culture that has failed to accept diverse change & holds on to prejudiced power structures.Is it just the police?

Can someone ask Farage or Zia Yusuf why, if they're so concerned about incitement to violence, they had Lucy Connolly as a guest star at their conference?

Reform’s Yusuf says Starmer is “inciting violence” and “demonising” Farage with his comments and will be responsible if anything happens? So who is responsible for all the hate following Farage calling Muslims a “fifth column”, BLM “The Taliban”.? Chinese “c****y” & referring to the “Jewish lobby”?

Is time to accept the UK has anti Muslim hatred problem?The Met Police braced for a documentary showing officers and staff allegedly being supportive of the far-right activist Tommy Robinson, making anti-Muslim comments and using excessive force against suspects www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Some reports that Trump’s plan and Netanyahu’s interpretation differs from what Muslim nations agreed to. See last paragraph here.

Netanyahu overnight - there will be no Palestinian statehood and IDF will remain in Gaza. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-sep...

Very good stuff from Sadiq Khan at the Labour Irish society event. He said there are two reasons he loves coming to Labour Conference. “One is the reception at the Labour Party Irish Society reception. “The second is to get away from all the Sharia Law in London”

Meanwhile…Smotrich compares Netanyahu’s apology to Qatari PM to Nazi appeasement www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

According to Chat, only 28% of Britons volunteer in their community at least once over the course of a year. Not great is it ? Yet all migrants are expected to do it 🙄

Does someone need to explain to the Home Secretary that forcing migrants to volunteer isn’t volunteering? It’s free labour. Do we demand this of anyone else? And what’s a high standard of English?

@adilray.bsky.social : "we've seen a rise in attacks on mosques & Muslim women in Hijabs being attacked. Do you think in that speech today our PM should address those issues.. & give words of comfort to the Muslim community & other marginalised communities" Nandy: "We've already done that"

#GMB discusses Starmers speech today on patriotic renewal and whether he's pandering to the far right while minorities are being targeted and attacked.

Is Buckinghamshire not the gun death capital of Europe?

There are paracetamol sellers everywhere, on every high street, even in Supermarkets 😱

Farage’s evidence that Muslims want to takeover London: Wait for it. Taxi drivers. In Buckinghamshire. I’ve heard taxi drivers tell me lampposts are watching us, Covid was a scam and Aston Villa will win the premier league!!

Israel are accused of genocide. Netanyahu has quoted the Hebrew bible to justify war. And the far right fundamentalist cabinet, to justify killing Palestinians. Modi in India is accused of using Hinduism to attack Muslims. The USA has a long history of Christian fundamentalism. FRC etc. That enough?

If you didn’t allow your bigotry to overshadow, you may stop to realise that extremists do not represent the faith. My point is you appear to blame Islam and Muslims for terrorism and extremism. Should we blame Christians for racism, extremism and abuse here?A country that is structurally Christian?

Those countries aren’t perfect. BUT. How’s the church sex abuse doing? Did you control that? Abuse in the police? Can you sort that too? How about the racists who set the country on fire? Any luck with them? Brexit failure, Covid fraud? Was that all the Muslims fault too?

Britain could learn something from the passing of cricket umpire Dickie Bird. He brought us all together, during the toughest of battles he was fair and honest. Across the globe in former colonies he is much loved. Hard to think of a more popular Englishman. Rest well Dickie. (Photo: 2008)

Journalists should stop saying “there’s no Sharia law in the UK”. There is. See below. By saying there isn’t perpetuates the idea that if it was it would be bad and wrong. Some may refer to amputation which is very extreme and very rare. The death penalty, which is absolute is legal in 27 US states.

Happy Christmas To you Too ❤️

Before politicians and media get themselves into a mess. Let me clarify. For most Muslims, Sharia means living ethically, praying, and giving to charity. Any councils are advisory and are not above the law and are no different to Jewish Beth Din courts that have existed in the UK since the 1800s.

The UK’s biggest ally, fanning the flames of hate and division. Endangering lives. We give him a state visit. Do we not have a choice? Really?

This makes for disturbing reading and is shameful that we treat fellow humans this way. They’re desperate and it’s only a matter of time until a tragedy takes place. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I haven’t been able to verify this but this is frightening. If anyone knows anymore about this please can you contact me.

It was lovely to meet with Hindu leaders from across NYC yesterday for a wide ranging discussion about building a safer, more inclusive city.

This is beautiful 💜💜💜

It’s chilling Netanyahu and some Israelis are blaming the lack of Israeli support and the recognition of Palestine on Muslim migrants in the west. It’s clear that those speaking out are from a broad base. Yet this live persecution of Muslims appears to be happening with nobody coming to their aid.

Any journalist quoting this absurd, invented £234 billion number cited by Farage/Reform should make absolutely clear that it has been withdrawn by *its own authors* (the Centre for Policy Studies) after they admitted it contained several major errors (1/3)

Putting all this together, @lgilbert.co find the following. It's not that Farage is (just) exaggerating/overstating - he is simply lying about migrants, jobs, wages and benefits. Media should be very clear about this. www.laurenpolicy.com/p/are-recent...

as for wages, we see reasonably rapid wage growth among recent arrivals (as migrants progress, and low-earning students return home). Nothing here at all to back up Farage's claims

As well as the fantasy £234 bn, journalists should also be clear Farage's claims most new migrants don't work, and those who do are on low wages, are entirely false. In fact, 1.8 million recent migrants are on payrolls (others will be self employed). migrationobservatory.ox.ac.uk/resources/co...

Charlie Kirk who was accused of being Anti Semitic, saw Islam as a threat, challenged gay rights and thought civil rights was a mistake will have 100,000 at his memorial with huge global media coverage and the President “headlining” to garner support. This is quite a moment.
