Definitions of Islamophobia exist, almost unanimously accepted by all Muslim organisations, there's even an APPG one!
The new definition falls short in providing protection for British Muslims, at a time when Islamophobic hate crimes are skyrocketting
We just need to implement what we already have
Full solidarity with Hannah Spencer, this is absolutely disgraceful behaviour.
This is a direct attack on our democracy, Hannah is an elected MP that has the right to walk free in the city she represents without these extremists behaving like thugs
Muslim voices speaking about war in the Middle East are treated not as participants in democratic debate but as suspects within it. Our motives are interrogated, our loyalties questioned, and our words interpreted through a presumption of bad faith.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
When the establishment attacks, you know you’re hitting the mark.
Labour are toxic for British politics, they'll do anything out of desperation
We saw this in Gorton & Denton and we’re seeing it now. Intimidation, smears it doesn’t wash anymore.
Thank you @mothinali.bsky.social. The Tories have a well-documented history of Islamophobia, having been called out by @sayeedawarsi.bsky.social repeatedly since 2014.
There is no place for Islamophobia in politics.

This summer, govt will set legally binding limits on greenhouse gas emissions for 2038-42 – critical for reaching net zero by 2050 🏭🌍 I’m part of the Environmental Audit Committee, which is urging the government to centre communities. 6 key takeaways from our report, published today 👇
Starmer, Shellbrooke, Taylor should be ashamed.
Desperate, they know their time as MPs is up so they're lashing out hoping to score some political points.
@greenparty.org.uk is going to replace them!
The majority of the UK is with me, no more illegal wars!

Our drug policy makes sense, @greendrugpolicy.bsky.social. The war on drugs has failed we need take a public health approach to help people, that means legalise and regulate and follow advice from proper health professionals.
Welcome
Welcome
What a lovely message from @rachelmillward.bsky.social
And I’m shocked that an MP should come out with such language against you & have it backed by the PM
Solidarity with you @mothinali.bsky.social and as Rachel says - don’t let the haters get to you
People like me are just as numerous and noisy
The first time I knew of @mothinali.bsky.social he was calming down rioters to protect everyone in the community. I was proud to shake his hand when we met.
Solidarity Mothin
Love you @mothinali.bsky.social 💚
Absolutely disgusting behaviour from Labour. We love you @mothinali.bsky.social 💚
Shelbrooke and Starmer should be ashamed of themselves. They won't be because they have none but Parliament has to get its house in order when it comes to false and downright dangerous defamation. @mothinali.bsky.social is one of the most kind, gentle and peaceful people you could ever hope to meet.
Much love, respect and solidarity for my brother from another mother and horticulturalists @mothinali.bsky.social
Islamaphobes Keir Starmer and his Tory chums, not soo much
The #GreenParty's co-deputy leader, #MothinAli @mothinali.bsky.social has told #MiddleEastEye he fears for his life and has faced death threats after a #ConservativeMP made a false claim about him in parliament which the prime minister appeared to agree with
www.middleeasteye.net/news/they-wi...
@mothinali.bsky.social is a brilliant leader, Councillor and speaker.
He's got a heart of gold and I won't stand by while right wing racists try to scapegoat him for political gain.
US-Israeli strikes on Iran contravene international law and I too stand proudly with my friend for peace and justice.

This is a defamatory lie @AlecShelbrooke. I am proudly anti-war and anti-racist. I make no apologies for attending a Stop the War protest. That does not mean I support the Iranian regime. I dare you to repeat your libellous statement outside of parliament.
"If you marched against the war in Iraq, no one could really say you supported Saddam Hussein [...]
Khamenei was a right wing hardliner in Iranian politics [...] Mothin is a leftist following a gay vegan Jewish leader."

Let's set the record straight!
@greenparty.org.uk had a resounding win in Gorton and Denton, since then the opposition parties sour with their defeat have gone into overdrive trying to throw shade. Instead of demonstrating decorum, they have tantrums

Let’s not forget the fine commitment to environmental ethics in Islam might also be a motive for the Muslim voter @greensurge.bsky.social @mothinali.bsky.social
