I commend @jessphillips for how well she has handled this awful and unacceptable abuse, rising strongly above it. Despite wider attempts to frame this as Muslim sectarianism, and stoke divisions, Jess rightly asserts that this behaviour does not represent Muslim communities.

"They didn't do it because they were Muslim, they did it because they were idiots." A still emotional Jess Phillips reflects on an emerging form of guerrilla campaigning which 'incites other people to do the same', after she was verbally abused during her re-election on Friday.

Thousands of innocent civilians have already been killed in Israel and Gaza. With the humanitarian crisis set to deteriorate even further, I’m calling for a ceasefire.

This is deeply alarming, a stark reflection of the increased Islamophobia affecting Muslim communities and mosques, exacerbated by divisive rhetoric that seeks to dehumanize Muslims. @MuslimCouncil

Shocking statistics showing 600% increase in #Islamophobia a little wonder with our very divisive Home Secretary, emboldening far-right rhetoric and actions.

This is how Southport responded. A group of around 100 members of the community are repairing damage to the local mosque, seen here rebuilding a wall. St Luke’s Road, last night strewn with rubble and debris, has already been cleared.

Another example of how Islamophobia is perpetuated right at the top, this decision will only further marginalise Muslim women, creating further inequality and divisions in society. The Court's ruling is anything but just @MuslimCouncil #islamophobia

The recent attacks on Muslims in India are not only harrowing but also shocking. It is deeply troubling that our government remains silent in the face of such persecution and injustice. Now is the time for robust intervention.
🚨 MCB have urgently written to the Foreign Secretary regarding the alarming escalation of violence and persecution against Muslims in India. Our government must take a resolute stance by intervening decisively and condemning these islamophobic attacks. #India #Islamophobia
