Many condolences, Mehdi. Your family’s story shows how immigrant families turn adversity into contribution & community - a story London knows well. It’s a sad irony that those who demonise immigration forget people like your father helped build the Britain many of us call home.
My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK. He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen. His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

23 people have died in immigration detention this year under the Trump administration, and ICE seems to be lying about the circumstances. They told Congress that Chaofeng Ge died by suicide, but he was found with his hands and feet tied. That simply doesn’t add up.

They’re not even allowed to speak to him on the phone. No one is.
"I can give a guarantee" that they can meet their father and "they won't be arrested." That was the Pakistani defense minister's response to me when I asked if Imran Khan's sons, Sulaiman and Kasim, can visit Pakistan safely and meet with their father. https://t.co/O4MCnkqWJJ

As a Jew & son of a Jewish refugee, I'm alarmed by the rise of antisemitism. The ADL's mission is to call it out when they see it. But I found their response to Mamdani's election shockingly gratuitous, inflammatory and deeply irresponsible. https://t.co/cwC6hpGzaZ via @NYTimes

The group, which has taken aim at Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani over his criticism of Israel, is facing backlash after unveiling a website where New Yorkers could report incidents of antisemitism.

The reality is that the consistent involvement of the UAE in mediation talks by western powers has been the biggest impediment to a ceasefire in 30 months of war in Sudan. The RSF and SAF have been security partners for over 20 years - they know how to cut a deal.
