  • The Assault on Jeremy Corbyn Is a Warning That Must Be Heeded
    The Assault on Jeremy Corbyn Is a Warning that Must be Heeded By Chris Marsden Region: Europe Global Research, March 07, 2019 Theme: History World Socialist Web Site 6 March 2019 The Socialist Equality Party denounces the March 3 physical assault on Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. The political differences between the SEP and Corbyn are well known and unbridgeable. But we unreservedly call on workers and young people to defend him from any attack by the extreme right. The March 3 events are a serious warning of the dangerous right-wing political climate being whipped-up by Britain’s ruling elite and its media outlets. It points to the need for heightened political vigilance and a determined political struggle against all those political forces giving succour to the far-right. Corbyn was visiting the Muslim Welfare Centre in north London during the annual “Visit My Mosque” day, attached to Finsbury Park mosque. John Murphy, 31, was in attendance and approached Corbyn from behind, hitting him on the head with an egg in his fist. Murphy screamed, “When you vote you get what you vote for.” He later made clear this was an attack on Corbyn’s acceptance of a possible second referendum on Britain leaving the European Union should Prime Minister Theresa May’s proposed Brexit deal or Labour’s alternative proposal fail. Alongside Corbyn on Sunday was Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott, who wrote on social media, “I was there. He punched Jeremy very hard. He happened to have an egg in his palm. But it could have been a knife.

  • Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for the Home Department By
    HOUSE OF COMMONS Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP Secretary of State for the Home Department By email April 2019 Dear Home Secretary We write as members representing our Muslim constituents to urge the early release of the very welcome additional funding you have announced for security at places of worship. You will recall the matter was raised in Home Office questions on Monday 1 April. Following the appalling attack in Christchurch last month, we have been speaking to our local mosques, and they are understandably extremely concerned about security, particularly with the approach of the Holy Month of Ramadan, when the community will be highly visible. Many of our constituents will be attending late- night prayers during this month, and feel especially vulnerable when out late in the evening. While the new funding will make a difference, it is therefore imperative that it is released as a matter of urgency, and that application processes are kept as simple and clear as possible, in order that measures can be taken to improve security in good time before Ramadan. We would very much appreciate an early opportunity to meet you to discuss how this could best be facilitated, and look forward to hearing from you in the very near future. Yours sincerely Kate Green MP Rt Hon Anna Soubry MP, Chair, APPG on British Muslims Wes Streeting MP, Co-chair, APPG on British Muslims Naz Shah MP, Vice-chair, APPG on British Muslims Debbie Abrahams MP Rt Hon Dame Margaret Hodge MP Rushanara Ali MP Kate Hollern MP Dr Rosena Allin-Khan MP Eddie Hughes MP Jonathan Ashworth MP Dr Rupa Huq MP Ian Austin MP Imran Hussain MP Rt.

  • Urgent Open Letter to Jesse Norman Mp on the Loan Charge
    URGENT OPEN LETTER TO JESSE NORMAN MP ON THE LOAN CHARGE Dear Minister, We are writing an urgent letter to you in your new position as the Financial Secretary to the Treasury. On the 11th April at the conclusion of the Loan Charge Debate the House voted in favour of the motion. The Will of the House is clearly for an immediate suspension of the Loan Charge and an independent review of this legislation. Many Conservative MPs have criticised the Loan Charge as well as MPs from other parties. As you will be aware, there have been suicides of people affected by the Loan Charge. With the huge anxiety thousands of people are facing, we believe that a pause and a review is vital and the right and responsible thing to do. You must take notice of the huge weight of concern amongst MPs, including many in your own party. It was clear in the debate on the 4th and the 11th April, that the Loan Charge in its current form is not supported by a majority of MPs. We urge you, as the Rt Hon Cheryl Gillan MP said, to listen to and act upon the Will of the House. It is clear from their debate on 29th April that the House of Lords takes the same view. We urge you to announce a 6-month delay today to give peace of mind to thousands of people and their families and to allow for a proper review. Ross Thomson MP John Woodcock MP Rt Hon Sir Edward Davey MP Jonathan Edwards MP Ruth Cadbury MP Tulip Siddiq MP Baroness Kramer Nigel Evans MP Richard Harrington MP Rt Hon Sir Vince Cable MP Philip Davies MP Lady Sylvia Hermon MP Catherine West MP Rt Hon Dame Caroline

  • 18 August 2021 Dear Elay, Re
    Ms Elay Ershad MP 18 August 2021 Dear Elay, Re: Westminster women MPs pledge support for Afghan women MPs You inspired us when, as a woman MP from Afghanistan, you joined us in the Chamber of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament in 2018 and spoke of your hopes of freedom and security for the people you represented. We are dismayed at the situation that now faces you and in particular women in Afghanistan and send you our admiration for your commitment to democracy, to women’s rights and above all for your remarkable courage as a woman politician in staying in Kabul, resolute in the face of the Taliban takeover. As women MPs in the UK Parliament we want you to know that we are looking out for you and we stand in solidarity with you and with all women politicians in Afghanistan who have stepped forward to be in public life and who, in particular, speak out for women and bring the representation of women into politics. Best wishes, Rt Hon Harriet Harman QC MP Rt Hon Penny Mordaunt MP Rt Hon Theresa May MP Rt Hon Diane Abbott MP Hannah Bardell MP Dawn Butler MP Debbie Abrahams MP Paula Barker MP Lisa Cameron MP Rushanara Ali MP Harriett Baldwin MP Maria Caulfield MP Rosena Allin-Khan MP Mhairi Black MP Wendy Chamberlain MP Fleur Anderson MP Kirsty Blackman MP Sarah Champion MP Catherine Ansell MP Olivia Blake MP Joanna Cherry QC MP Tonia Antoniazzi MP Lyn Brown MP Feryal Clark MP Sarah Atherton MP Felicity Buchan MP Daisy Cooper MP Siobhan Baillie MP Karen Buck MP Rosie Cooper MP Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MP Rt Hon Dame Margaret Hodge Kate

  • Newsletter 2017 General Election Special
    Newsletter 2017 General Election Special Contents Page Message from the CEO...................................................................3 Section One: What is Life Like for Deaf and Disabled People Today?.............................................................................................4 Section Two: What do the Election Manifestos Promise?...............6 Section Three: Hear from The Mitcham and Morden Candidates.16 Section Four: Hear from The Wimbledon Candidates.................25 Message from the CEO Dear Members and Supporters, In this very special (and long!) newsletter, we are covering the General Election. Last time we got in touch we were asking people to make sure they are registered to vote because we want to support Deaf and Disabled people to be part of the democratic process. In this newsletter, Deaf and Disabled people and their families, supporters and friends can find out what Parliamentary Candidates say they will do to address issues which matter. In the first section of the newsletter, (page 4) we talk a little bit about what life is like for Disabled people today. In section two (page 6) we bring you a review of some of the policies from the three main parties, the Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats. Some readers may remember that we had organised two Quiz Your Candidates events in partnership with Focus-4-1 and Merton Mencap. We invited the candidates for the main 3 parties and for our Mitcham & Morden event, all 3 candidates said they would come. For our Wimbledon event, only the Labour and Liberal Democrat candidates said they would attend; the Conservative candidate Stephen Hammond said he would not attend the event. Unfortunately both the planned hustings events for Mitcham & Morden constituency and for Wimbledon constituency had to be cancelled following the suspension of campaigning after the horrific events in Manchester in May.
