Pleased the Government will be providing more security for mosques and that it has been recognised by leaders that these were never protests but riots many targeting minorities like Muslims. We now need to do all we can to eradicate #Islamophbia for good. Hate can not win.

We should be talking about the horrific murder of 3 children & violence against women & girls Instead, I was on LBC discussing Islamophobia & the far right weaponising misinformation to stoke up racist riots This vile behaviour will never represent London or the British public

The diversity of London & the UK is it's strength. I've been so humbled to see the outpouring of love from communities for their Muslim & immigrant neighbours, not least from the Jewish community. Hatred & division will never win over hope, compassion and unity. 👇🏾

The Leader of the Council (Gareth Roberts) has released a statement on the outbreak of violence across the country. "As a Borough of Sanctuary, we stand united with all communities affected by these troubling incidents." Read the full statement here ⬇️ orlo.uk/r4inY

Let's call these events out for what they are, they are race riots and they are Islamophobic. People with 'legitimate concerns' don't express them by throwing bricks at the police or Mosques. 👇🏾

🕌Tonight, I joined members of #Eastbourne Mosque & Sussex Police officer Fareed to show solidarity against the scourge of hate. Everyone has the right to feel safe in their home, community and place of worship. 🕊️ Eastbourne says NO to hate crime and YES to unity and peace.

It’s been a difficult few days for anyone who is black, brown, perceived to be Muslim or visibly Muslim. I don’t want to keep talking about Islamophobia. London is a diverse wonderful city & we can get through this together. Let’s stop the hate.👇🏽 libdemvoice.org/hina-bokhari-w…

Hina’s words resonate far beyond London. People are feeling very scared. No one should feel unsafe in our country for any reason but especially for just being who they are. We will not sink to their level.

""We are seeing our communities absolutely rejecting this hate and racism, deciding instead that they are going to stand in solidarity, that they are going to find a way to express that this does not happen in their name" Layla Moran 🔶🕊️

We are thrilled that Caroline Pidgeon will be introduced to the House of Lords today. Having been a councillor for 12 years and head of the Lib Dem group in the London Assembly for 14 years, Caroline is a thoughtful and experienced leader. Please join us in wishing her well!

Balls of steel here. The values and purpose of the BBC in one short clip.

Child poverty in London is higher than the UK average. The Two-Child Benefit Cap wasn't mentioned in today's budget, and continues to keep over 1.5 million children in poverty across the nation. If you wanted to see #Change for our most vulnerable, it didn’t happen today.

The government seems to have forgotten about care. They must exempt care providers from this costly tax or thousands of social care providers are going to be pushed to the edge. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

We have a proud history of migration in London which includes many stories from many families including mine. Proud that I proposed a motion to ensure the London Assembly and Mayor of London supports the great work by the Migration Museum.

MPs have backed Sarah Olney’s bill on proportional representation. This is a historic moment in the campaign for a fairer voting system. Today, as we have done for a century, Liberal Democrats are leading the fight for fair votes and making sure that no one can be ignored

32 post office branches will be closed in London. This week the London Assembly unanimously voted for the London Liberal Democrats motion to “Save our Post Offices” because thousands of people and small businesses will lose out. Please sign our petition 👇🏽 londonlibdems.org.uk/campaigns/save…

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

TfL’s Licensing Scandal has massively impacted #London’s MiniCab & Private Hire Drivers. Homes, cars and even lives have been lost waiting for overdue licences from TfL It’s time for action, not just apologies I’m glad the Mayor today agreed to back my calls for compensation ⬇️

Islamophobia in Britain is clearly at dangerous levels - as we saw in the violent outbreaks last summer. So I was shocked to discover there is ZERO dedicated training on Islamophobia whether in the Met, the LFB or any GLA body - and it seems the Mayor was too. We must do better⬇️

I was on BBC Radio London earlier to talk about the rising danger of Islamophobia and why London institutions urgently need Islamophobia training. I didn’t expect to get emotional live on air. But this is personal for me and 1.3 million Muslim Londoners. We deserve to feel safe.
