Hate has no place in London.

Now more than ever, we must unite to build stronger, kinder communities. My London – the London I’ll keep standing up for – is a city where diversity is a strength to be celebrated, not a weakness to be hidden.

All beliefs are welcome in London – we cannot allow extremists to divide us | Sadiq Khan

Attacks against Jewish and Muslim communities are on the rise, and some politicians are exacerbating tensions by appealing to our worst instincts, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

One of the cooler moments of my life was being in the audience for this and accidentally meeting him coming out of the studio whilst I was having a smoke on a rainy New York street .

Reminds me of this excellent sign that I saw at the Tubman African American Museum in Macon, Georgia.

Piano, which once belonged to Little Richard, with a sign on it saying "Do not attempt to play Little Richard's piano. He will know."

The very patriotic @ukconservatives.bsky.social 🤪

Neil Mackay @neilmackay.bsky.social · 8d

You know what would be a real sign of patriotism? Learning to spell the word ‘Britain’

Miss Charles V @misscharlesv.bsky.social · 7d

I imagine you would have no problem only seeing white faces @robertjenrickmp.bsky.social @ukconservatives.bsky.social

Miss Charles V @misscharlesv.bsky.social · 7d

Also @ukconservatives.bsky.social @robertjenrickmp.bsky.social many communities have great poverty levels and therefore limited access to housing and also poor quality housing . This leads to areas of greater deprivation and fewer resources. Those communities feel abandoned and uncared for.

Miss Charles V @misscharlesv.bsky.social · 7d

To
@ukconservatives.bsky.social @robertjenrickmp.bsky.social the outright agenda of racism and Islamophobia drive a wedge between people , so your party is actively working against integration and community cohesion #news #uk

My patience runs thin for artists who “don’t want to comment” on politics or take a stand. Life is politics and now it’s time to pick the side of decency, compassion , democracy, freedom from
oppression, anti -genocide. Use your platform it’s a privilege. #music #arts

Miss Charles V @misscharlesv.bsky.social · 8d

Time for @uklabour.bsky.social to get rid of this leadership who are no different to other right wing parties, appealing to the most base hateful rhetoric, refusing to accept the genocide in Gaza , criminalising peaceful protesters and threatening our democracy and right to protest. Enough is enough
