My letter to the Prime Minister

'To say that trying to behead somebody is a normal culture, that is absolutely wrong.' Labour MP Khalid Mahmood brand Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Hilary Benn, as 'totally out of order' for trying to play down claims the Belfast attacker came from an 'alien culture'.

‘You can’t keep on patronising people!’ Former Labour MP Khalid Mahmood criticises the First Minister of Northern Ireland Michelle O’Neill for dismissing GB News’ Dougie Beattie’s question on border control.

Happy Eid Al Adha to all celebrating

At least 20 people have been killed and 70 others injured in an explosion targeting a train transporting military personnel in Pakistan. The Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) separatist group claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was a suicide bombing. bbc.com/news/articles/cm2pkd…

I am absolutely appalled by today's cowardly terrorist attack on a train in Quetta, which has left at least 24 people dead and several more injured. Our thoughts and prayers are with the martyrs and their families.

So proud of Mummy’s school and the incredible difference it is making ❤️ Seeing the smiles on these children’s faces today says everything. So many disadvantaged children are being given opportunities they may otherwise never have had. @AlfajrTrust

Great to join friends and old comrades to say farewell @Ms_SThompson and her outstanding service to Birmingham. Thank you, Sharon, for the invitation,it was wonderful to be there. As Sharon said, this isn’t the end of her journey,but the start of a new chapter. Wishing her every success in what comes next.

I strongly condemn the stabbing that took place today in North London. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and all those affected by this shocking incident. Violence has no place in our streets or in our society. I stand in full solidarity with the Jewish community and with all those impacted, and remain committed to promoting peace, compassion, and respect.

I have shared my views with @olleyatGRIT on the Birmingham local elections and the challenges facing Labour in the city. Voters want competence, restored trust and a council focused on delivery. Birmingham often signals the wider mood. midlandsgrit.co.uk/p/labours…
