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
