The ex-first minister, who was the first Muslim to lead a western democracy, said racist views had been 'legitimised' by successive UK governments.

The genocide continues and not a single person has been held accountable for it. What a disgraceful stain on our collective conscience.

Keep talking about Palestine. Israel continues to commit war crimes in the West Bank and Gaza, with impunity. A blueprint for ethnic cleansing is playing out in broad daylight, just with fewer cameras broadcasting it. We must continue to demand accountability and justice.

At a time when too many other leaders cower in the face of the far-right, or worse imitate their rhetoric, I am proud to see Scotland's FM @JohnSwinney confront them head on. Well done to @ScottishTUC for consistently standing up against racism, and hatred in all of its forms.
Let’s defeat the politics of hate and despair with the politics of hope. Honoured to march with the @ScottishTUC against racism, and for a fair and diverse country that we must remain.

🥀 The Labour Chancellor wants to deny Scotland's democratic right to choose our own future. 💬 @ShonaRobison: "An astonishing display of arrogance from a Labour government that is one of the most unpopular in history." 🏴 Scotland needs a fresh start with independence.

The shadow Foreign Secretary here posing for a picture with the man wanted by the International Criminal Court for War Crimes, and calling him a friend. Either you believe in the equal application of international law, or you don't believe in international law at all.
A great meeting with my friend @netanyahu and discussion about how we must stand together to fight for the freedoms and values our countries are founded on. Israel is a beacon of democracy and freedom in the Middle East and our friend and ally. We must never forget the

An honour to host @scotrefcouncil's 40th birthday celebrations. At a time when so many are prepared to turn their backs on the world's vulnerable, I hope Scotland will continue to be a nation of sanctuary. "Whatever you did for one of the least...you did for me" Matthew 25:40

“I am the child of immigrants.” A disgusting invocation of her identity to defend an anti-immigrant, anti-refugee cruel plan that is winning her praise today from Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage. Shameful.
I am the child of immigrants. Illegal migration is creating division across our country. It is a broken system and we have a genuine problem to fix. My job is to find a proper solution that can unite a divided country.

Plans to leave refugees in a state of perpetual uncertainty about where and if they can rebuild their lives are not just performative cruelty, they are counterproductive to integration and the economy. It doesn’t have to be like this - there is a better way forward rooted in

In a day and age when Nazism rears its ugly head once again, we must remember the sacrifice our men and women made so many decades ago. They fought against the forces of fascism and racial hatred, all so we could enjoy our freedoms today. We will remember them.

How can Lisa Nandy's position be tenable? It seems she clearly misled the Parliament & public about the reasons why Maccabi Fans were banned from their match against Villa. It wasn't antisemitism. Police confirm it was due to the threat caused by a section of Maccabi hooligans.
EXCLUSIVE: 'Significant hooliganism' within Maccabi Tel Aviv fan base is reason for Aston Villa match ban Full story from Sky's @RobHarris ⬇️ https://t.co/MONjybHaTI

Zohran's victory was a triumph of hope over fear. London & New York both have Muslim Mayors. Elected not because they are Muslim, but because of their policies. Far from being a threat, this should be celebrated as the blueprint for successful integration in the 21st Century.
