At yesterday's Unite the Kingdom rally one speaker said: "It's not too late to get Islam out of that building (Parliament)" "It is not to late to get Islam out of every single official office in this country" "It is absolutely vital, if we want to save this country, we have to remove Islam from every single place of authority" If these comments were directed at British Jews, they would rightly dominate headlines nationwide, because antisemitism is wrong. Anti-Muslim rhetoric should be treated with the same seriousness and scrutiny.

This is a serious problem. It’s proven that fear, hate and lies often beat and truth in today’s marketplace of ideas. šŸ‘‰ How do we fight this, without censorship? @MathildaMall turned to the great mind of @acgrayling for answers. But please share more, if you have them!
šŸ”“ā€˜When Hate Spreads Faster Than Truth, Should We Fight Fascism With Censorship?’ Censorship is dangerous, but I am struggling to see how we fight the rising tide of hate and fear without it, writes @MathildaMall bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/w…

I fight for better because my treatment was appalling. The work I do, is to ensure the women who come (inevitably) behind me, get justice and are treated better. Being recognized gives me a boost to keep going. We can make change collectively.

So, I've just spent a bit of time looking into the debate on IHT and farming. I... got a shock. First, a note: I have a friend who runs a family farm. In his view, the whole thing is a something and nothing. 🧵

When @MediaStormPod investigated the issue of court transcripts, they collected data regarding profits of the companies that are providing transcripts for victims in the England and Wales. This proved what we had assumed all along. Companies are profiting hugely.

An excellent article in @BylineTimes by @MathildaMall and @helenawadia "Between India and Pakistan, nuclear war would mean ā€œthe end of human civilisation as we know itā€. Between the US and Russia, nuclear war might mean ā€œthe extinction of our speciesā€." bylinetimes.com/2024/09/27/w…

It appears there’s been yet another attempt to prevent a woman of colour in public life - this time @SayeedaWarsi - from sharing her side of the story with the public. On this occasion, it seems it didn’t work. #DianeAbbot #FaizaShaheen #SayeedaWarsi #MariehaHussain
In response to the numerous press requests A court of law found #MariehaHussain not guilty. Whatever Rishi Sunak and Suella Braverman think of that decision that is the rule of law and they are not above the law. I applaud the courts decision and judgement of Judge Vanessa Lloyd, the overwhelming evidence of multiple academics and other expert witnesses. It was the right decision and I rightly congratulated Marieha on her acquittal. I was subsequently asked to delete my public support for Marieha - I refused to do so. That is the basis of the complaint. No other comments or language is the basis of the complaint. The case was due to be conducted in private behind closed doors, I was not told who the complainant was and this is material considering the detail of bad faith practice the court heard about during the trial. I was also told I could not discuss the matter with others. It was effectively to be a secret retrial of the #coconuttrial I was not prepared to accept this. I felt it appropriate in the circumstances to resign my whip and look forward to dealing with these issues openly and transparently in the coming weeks and months

My friend Natasha has been missing for 7 days She is 55 yr old transwoman, last seen in Soho on Friday at 2am wearing a white Chanel suit. I am asking if any editors or publications would be up for reposting or perhaps covering a small news story about her disappearance šŸ™

šŸŒ©ļø Violence against women is a man’s problem šŸŒ©ļø Men are being erased from the problem, and excused from the solution. So this episode, Media Storm flipped the script - because if violence against women begins with men, it can also end with men. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…
