The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I'm no soothsayer but I think future generations are going to see this picture in their history textbooks.

My latest Substack is about a boy I call Omid “Hope”. He was sixteen when war forced him to walk across continents, not as an invader, but as a child running from the front line. His journey says more about today’s politics than any headline will. https://t.co/f0xOXCqvJh

Refuge isn’t weakness. It’s an investment. And the returns are human, immeasurable, and generational. Britain once understood that. It can again. 8/8

I am proof... living, breathing proof... of what happens when a country offers refuge with a future attached. Britain gave me a chance, and I have spent my life giving back. 6/8

They don’t see the lives that bloom when safety is offered without an expiry date. They don’t see what Britain gains when it chooses compassion over suspicion. 5/8

Policies like this pretend they’re about “control.” What they actually do is choke off the very stories that make this country stronger. They don’t see the scared kid who might grow into a doctor, a teacher, a neighbour, a parent. 4/8

But if today’s rules had existed back then, temporary status, conditional belonging, reviews hanging over your head like storm clouds, none of this would’ve happened. You can’t build a future on a fault line. 3/8

And because of that chance, I’m now a British citizen, an emergency medicine consultant, a husband, and a father of four. My whole life, my real life, unfolded here. This is home, heart and bone. 2/8

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge. Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots. A thread 🧵 1/8 https://t.co/BTxhS5PXKp
