We are horrified to learn of the attack at a synagogue in Manchester, especially on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the wider Jewish community who will understandably be feeling deeply concerned during this time.
A historic moment this week at the first ever Iftar in Westminster Hall in Parliament, organised by @appgbritmuslims.bsky.social Great to have Prime Minister Keir Starmer at The Big Iftar event. And the food was supplied by Suleiman from Spice Village who have a branch in Southall!
From Ambassadors representing Muslim nations across the globe to the exceptional catering by the award-winning Spice Village, and all the wonderful guests—this incredible and historic APPG Big Iftar would not have been possible without you.
On #IWD2025 the APPG British Muslims was proud to celebrate the achievements of two powerful British Muslim political leaders. Shabana Mahmood as Lord High Chancellor & Nus Ghani MP as The Chairman of Ways & Means, Deputy Speaker of @houseofcommons.parliament.uk
Powerful words of support, belonging, and coexistence, celebrating the successes and contributions of British Muslim communities—shared by Parliamentarians from across the political divide.
We are hugely grateful to have the Speakers of both Houses host this historic first-ever Iftar in Westminster Hall.
The evening was made even more special with the presence of Adam Azim 🥊 and a beautiful rendition capturing the essence of Ramadan from the world-famous Mesut Kurtis. 🎶
From the ✝️ Carol Service to ✡️ Hanukkah, and now the 🌙 historic first Iftar in Westminster Hall—the APPG on British Muslims is proud to play its part in showcasing the best of our democracy.
Honoured to bring together such a truly moving and spiritual evening.🧵
Tory Leader Kemi Badenoch misrepresented Labour’s Islamophobia definition in PMQs today, distracting from vital conversations on grooming & exploitation.
We need focus and unity to protect victims—not divisive rhetoric that fuels harmful stereotypes.
