22 years later, after humiliations, hurdles and sacrifices, my sons’ father is Pakistan’s next PM. It’s an incredible lesson in tenacity, belief & refusal to accept defeat. The challenge now is to remember why he entered politics in the 1st place. Congratulations
@ImranKhanPTI
Happy Election Day Pakistan, you maddening, beautiful, crazy, beloved old friend.
Here’s hoping the people who count your votes, let your vote count. And you get the leader you believe in.
Pakistan Zindabad!
With respect, The difference is that I have got nothing to do with Pakistani politics and neither have my children. They are low- key private individuals who are not even on social media.
PTI must stop protesting outside the house of
@NawazSharifMNS
in London and PML-N should not do the same outside the house of
@Jemima_Khan
those who live in glass houses should not throw stones on others
🙏🏼 for the 33 million in Pakistan affected by the devastating floods.
1000+ killed.
200K+ homes destroyed
Pakistan produces less than 1% of global carbon emissions.
But it’s one of the top 10 countries most affected by the climate crisis.
Wondering how my Pakistani Twitter friends are doing during the lockdown there?
I’m mindful that however hard this is for so many people here in the UK, conditions are so much harder for you in Pakistan. Sending love and salaams 🇵🇰
One third of Pakistan is underwater.
33 MILLION PEOPLE (1 in 7 Pakistanis) are affected.
2,000 + people so far killed, one third of whom are believed to be children.
Please help by donating.

This is a video of hundreds of men protesting for hours outside my 88 yr old mother’s house in Surrey yesterday.
The man with the tannoy is threatening -
“If Jemima and her children don’t come down here, then we will enter her bedroom.”
@metpoliceuk
is this legal?
Ramadan in Pakistan was my favourite time. A month not just of fasting but also of good intentions & trying to be a better person- no gossiping, swearing, boasting or lying. A time for contemplation, charity, kindness, forgiveness, family & jalebis.
Ramadan Mubarak 🌙 🤍

Let’s play charades- what is this protestor on the right outside my mother’s house miming after threatening to enter my bedroom? Keeping it classy, as always, PML-N…
For those who don’t speak Urdu - apparently I have a first cousin called “Wiki” - who set up Wikileaks- which is a Zionist tool, supporting Imran Khan’s Zionist agenda. This from a so called Islamic scholar/ cleric.... “Wiki’ cousin hai Jemima ka” 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks
@elonmusk
Fake accounts pretending to be my children, created by imposters with a political agenda in Pakistan. This is exactly what I feared would happen when you took away Twitter’s verification blue ticks. FYI my children are not on social media & have no plans to be.
… “The Prophet Mohammad said, “He or she is not one of us (meaning, is not a Muslim) if their neighbour is not safe form the harm of the hands and the tongue”

“PML-N finally accepts mistreatment of Jemima Khan - an entire media cell built to slander opponents, labelling Jemima as Jewess & part of a Jewish conspiracy to destroy Pakistan, proof in the form of a fake cheque, showing Jewish donations to PTI”
Just sent this by my former sister in law with the message “Opposition is busy” - this is a fake post circulating on social media.
When will this ever stop?

I realise that Twitter spats don’t help anyone. I have found it hard to disengage - I have Jewish and Muslim family members & friends, whom I deeply love. I have lived in a Muslim country for ten years and have been to Gaza & The West Bank and I also have a historic family…
What the hell is wrong with these people
@pmln_org
? Another mass demonstration announced outside my 88 year old mother’s house this weekend. This is the third time! What has my Mum got to do with Pakistani politics? It’s disruptive for her & a total waste of police time.
My kids are “being raised in the lap of the Jews,” announced

today.
I left Pakistan in 2004 after a decade of antisemitic attacks by the media & politicians (& weekly death threats & protests outside my house). But still it continues

And mosque
And temple
And any kind of shrine
Because I know it is there
That people say the different names
Of the One God.”

This tweet is staggeringly ignorant and would be funny if it weren’t dangerous. The photo is taken on a family holiday in Mexico (not Israel) and we are wearing ponchos (not Jewish religious dress)
@GhinwaBhutto
- shame on you.
Indefensible & v disappointing. New Pak gov asks renowned & respected Prof of economics to stand down because of his Ahmadi faith. NB: The founder of Pakistan, “Quaid-I-Azam” appointed an Ahmadi as his Foreign Minister.
I wish Johnny Depp would now give a statement waiving all Amber Heard’s damages, saying it was never about the money, urge the trolls to stand down & wish her well.
Birthday wish granted.
Islamic scholar & Imam, Shaykh Ibrahim Mogra, who has been awarded for his interfaith work, gave a sermon at our local church to celebrate the end of Ramadan.
He talked about the importance of celebrating our differences & protecting our neighbours.
Thank you to
@fbhutto
for helping with last night’s fundraising event for Pakistan’s flood victims.
The news channels may have moved on but millions of Pakistanis are still in desperate need of support.

The number of children being killed in Gaza is unprecedented.
Fewer children were killed in Iraq in 14 years of war (2008- 2022) than in one single month in Gaza.
The civilian death toll is significantly higher than in all the conflicts around the world during the C20th.…
Meanwhile I’m still obsessed by Pakistani truck art. When I first visited Pakistan 27 years ago I thought there must be a carnival happening - every truck, bus, rickshaw and motorbike uniquely & lovingly decorated. I need these trainers as a memento.

should now apologise for her claim that UK child grooming gangs were "almost all British-Pakistani men" now that press regulator Ipso has ruled that was “significantly misleading” & the Home Office’s own research concluded…

It is a measure of the depth of their ideological intransigence & tribal myopia that so many intelligent and typically empathic people have been incapable of grasping the simple truth that you can oppose both rising antisemitism AND anti-Muslim hatred, and you can be horrified by…

Pleased to see The Tebbit Test described here as “an outdated relic.”

Genuine question: would these two cartoons from the time of my marriage (Times, Private Eye) be printable today? And are they anti- Semitic/ Islamophobic?
