The threats, abuse and intimidation MPs are getting for voting / not voting for the Gaza ceasefire amendment yesterday needs to stop.
Those that voted for are not “Hamas supporters” “rape apologists” or any of the other abusive phrases being used Those that did not vote for are not “inhumane” “traitors “ or “baby killers”
This vilification must stop.
Over the last 5 weeks I have had colleagues on all sides of the political divide, across Westminster & devolved Parliaments urging their party leaders to call a ceasefire

As lockdown starts to ease and the weather gets better.......its the season for us all to get rather vexed about the #CharlieHebdo cartoons .....again.
So media peeps here is a non sensational run down of what’s going on in #Batley
A thread Blasphemy has long been debated and discussed in numerous faiths and so is a legitimate topic for discussion in an Religious Education curriculum. Indeed until just over a decade ago we still had, albeit not used, Blasphemy laws on our statute books!

So this article based upon a leaked letter from @MHewittNPCC to @theresa_may makes an extraordinary and disturbing claim that a definition seeking to protect British Muslims will undermine Counter terrorism powers and tactics.
The following questions must be urgently addressed 1. What is the basis of such claims?
2. If @MHewittNPCC had such concerns why did he not engage w/ Parliamentarians involved in the report some of whom are Privy Councillors
3. Who leaked this letter? The issues involve National Security and I have today written to @marksedwill
