Bushra Shaikh: Surely Britain can do better...
Surely Britain can do better than Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch, Rupert Lowe et al. Where are the leaders this country desperately needs?!
Bushra Shaikh: BREAKING...
🚨 BREAKING: Israel is increasingly alarmed as Syria's new government under Ahmed al-Sharaa moves closer to Türkiye. A stronger Syria backed by Ankara could fundamentally shift the regional balance and Israel is moving to stop it. The Syria–Türkiye alliance is emerging as a major new fault line in the Middle East.Bushra Shaikh: Although welcomed, this is only a start...
Although welcomed, this is only a start. Labour has not gone far enough. It’s the right energy, but so much more needs to be done to confront Israeli extremism and hold those responsible to account. And we’re seeing very clearly which politicians are still morally bankrupt. Take note.Bushra Shaikh: You've got to be a freakin moron...
You've got to be a freakin moron to believe refugees are the problem in the United Kingdom. Congratulations to these Brits. You've proven to be the ignorant and brain washable fools that you are.Bushra Shaikh: Time for Britain to cut loose...
Time for Britain to cut loose this extremist Government. Expel Israeli ambassadors and ban all serving IDF members from entering into our country. Threatening the UK is a serious security issue. Enough is enough.Bushra Shaikh: It's no coincidence how Andy Burnham...
It's no coincidence how Andy Burnham is being threatened and the Falklands being used as the weapon, as he is preparing to announce some of Britain's toughest sanctions yet against Israeli settlements.Bushra Shaikh: Nothing to see here...
Nothing to see here. Just your resident flag-waving "British patriots" -too cowardly to fight for the country they claim to love, using migrants as an excuse for being shit-scared of fighting in the very real wars they so enthusiastically support elsewhere.Bushra Shaikh: The more I think about Zelenskyy...
The more I think about Zelenskyy praising Netanyahu, the angrier I get. British taxpayers have been asked to shoulder billions for this war, around £25 billion committed to Ukraine, while people here are struggling to make ends meet. And after all that, we are expected to sit quietly while Zelenskyy backs Netanyahu? No. I'm done with this charade. You cannot demand endless solidarity, money and weapons from ordinary people while openly embracing a leader accused of some of the gravest crimes imaginable. That is a red line for me. Not another penny of British taxpayers' money. Britain first.Bushra Shaikh: Now can we stop pretending...
Now can we stop pretending the UK doesn't have a powerful Israeli lobby designed to ruin your life if you dare challenge anything remotely linked with Israel.Bushra Shaikh: The U.S. forcing additional sanctions...
The U.S. forcing additional sanctions on Iran and threatening countries that do business with Iran sounds a lot more like a country losing a war than one that is winning. Just saying.Bushra Shaikh: The UAE is digging its own...
The UAE is digging its own grave by further colluding with the U.S. against Iran. Ultimately, the countries of this region have to live as neighbours. Their priority should be building strategic security arrangements with each other - not becoming instruments in someone else's miscalculation. Right now, it's simply a case of: my enemy's enemy is my friend. The UAE needs to divorce from it's U.S security dependency.Bushra Shaikh: The irony is that you've decided...
The irony is that you've decided I hate Britain because I don't share your views. That's not patriotism; it's the belief that only people who think like you are allowed to belong here. Britain has never worked that way. But thanks for explaining my own beliefs, loyalties, and identity to me. It's a remarkable talent to know so much about a complete stranger while getting almost every fact wrong.Bushra Shaikh: The U.S. Treasury is on the brink...
The U.S. Treasury is on the brink, and the Strait of Hormuz will never be the same again. Whatever your politics, one thing is now clear: any future attack on Iran comes with an economic price tag Washington can no longer pretend doesn't exist. Iran has sent Trump and Netanyahu a message they'll have to factor into every future decision: Think twice before attacking Iran again.Bushra Shaikh: Not only is Rupert Lowe...
Not only is Rupert Lowe a nasty Islamophobe who attracts the hard-line anti-Muslim dregs of society, he is also a beg. If an MP was to say the things he does about Islam about any other religion, they'd have been kicked out of Parliament by now. I'm no fan of Nigel Farage, but bringing Lowe back into Reform UK could prove to be political suicide.Bushra Shaikh: Iran has warned that if the U.S....
Iran has warned that if the U.S. and Israel carry out their latest threats to strike its civilian infrastructure, Tel Aviv should be prepared for a response.Bushra Shaikh: Reports of divisions within...
Reports of divisions within the US administration over the Iran war are mounting. A source close to President Donald Trump reportedly described him as "out of ideas" and increasingly frustrated with the military direction of the conflict.Bushra Shaikh: Apparently, Saudi Arabia's definition...
Apparently, Saudi Arabia's definition of "de-escalation" is joining the US in bombing Iran-backed groups in Iraq. That's a fascinating interpretation of the word.Bushra Shaikh: Trump is discovering that it's far easier...
Trump is discovering that it's far easier to start a war than to leave one without looking defeated. Tehran has made it clear this conflict will end on its terms, not Washington's.Bushra Shaikh: Donald Trump got tired of bombing Iran...
Donald Trump got tired of bombing Iran. Maybe now comes the realisation that should have come from day one: You don't bomb a 5,000 year old civilisation into surrender. Take the L, stop the escalation, and exit the war.Bushra Shaikh: At least the war on Iran has exposed...
At least the war on Iran has exposed one uncomfortable truth: how useless U.S. military bases really are to the Gulf and Arab nations. For decades, U.S. bases symbolised power. This war reminded everyone that in modern warfare, fixed power can also mean fixed vulnerability.Bushra Shaikh: For those still struggling...
For those still struggling to understand: If the UK allows U.S. forces to launch strikes on Iran from British bases, don't be surprised if Britain is viewed as a participant in the conflict, thus a legal legitimate target. Wars have consequences. Decisions to join them have consequences too. This is NOT OUR WAR.Bushra Shaikh: Israel could not sustain a prolonged...
Israel could not sustain a prolonged war with Iran on its own. It would lose. For Donald Trump, choosing this prolonged, costly war for Israel, will inevitably result in presidency suicide. Not only is this war unpopular with Americans, so is he.Bushra Shaikh: Marco Rubio is signaling diplomacy...
Marco Rubio is signaling diplomacy only after nine consecutive nights of attacks on Iran failed to move the needle. Even military escalation couldn't produce the outcome Washington was seeking. This can be seen as a strategic success for Iran.Bushra Shaikh: I'm back from Iran...
I'm back from Iran and one thing was unmistakable: I didnt meet a single Iranian who supported U.S. attacks on their country. Any dissenting voices have turned against Donald Trump. Bombing their country and murdering their school children was the red line.Bushra Shaikh: Donald Trump may be the only U.S. president...
Donald Trump may be the only U.S. president to strengthen the argument for nuclear weapons by bombing a country that wasn't building them.Bushra Shaikh: There was no justification...
There was no justification for the U.S. to go to war with Iran. No reason at all. And because Donald Trump cannot admit he got it wrong, his ego is intent on making even more stupid decisions.Bushra Shaikh: Incredible scenes at the Grand Mosalla Tehran...
Incredible scenes at the Grand Mosalla Tehran for the late Supreme Leader, Sayed Ali Khamenei. There are several reports suggesting that Mojtaba Khamenei may come today to bid farewell to his father.Bushra Shaikh: I don't think people fully...
I don't think people fully appreciate what has happened. Iran demonstrated that its strategic position in West Asia - particularly its influence over the Strait of Hormuz - forces even the U.S. to factor its responses carefully. Whether you agree with Iran or not, that's a significant display of regional leverage. The balance of power in West Asia has shifted. Iran is still standing. All Gulf Arab nations are aware of this realisation and are due to work with Iran to protect their own security and economic interests in the region. Israel's attempt to dominate is coming to a close. Israel knows this, as does the U.S. If they choose aggression, the next blockade will be to Haifa, where 80% of Israel's imports get to and this would significantly affect their economy. Israel will inevitably end up as a lonely island state. It's happening...Bushra Shaikh: Labour is finally realising that...
Labour is finally realising that chasing the right-wing vote wasn't the winning political strategy they thought it would be. @ShabanaMahmood can do one. She's a careerist who seems willing to abandon her principles whenever it suits. She helped normalise rhetoric that fuelled hostility towards migrants and Muslims. Don't forget that.Bushra Shaikh: Keir Starmer's resignation is the...
Keir Starmer's resignation is the right decision for Labour. While I've often disagreed with him, he deserves credit for stepping aside with dignity and grace. He may not have been the best Prime Minister, but he certainly wasn't the worst. His real weakness was that he never seemed like the leader required for a country grappling with the rise of far-right narratives and increasingly divisive politics. At the moment, Andy Burnham appears to be the clear favourite to succeed him, with strong support among both Labour members and the wider public. Whoever takes over must be bold, courageous and prepared to confront the hatred, scapegoating and division that have become far too normal in our political discourse. The next Labour leader cannot afford to be timid. The moment demands conviction.Bushra Shaikh: White Scottish man is being investigated...
White Scottish man is being investigated by Counter Terrorism Police after five people were stabbed in Edinburgh. He said after his arrest: "I'm protecting the country from these fucking Muslim bastards raping our young daughters"Bushra Shaikh: Non-White Brits are fully entitled...
Non-White Brits are fully entitled to criticise their country. Too many people on the right treat any criticism from ethnic minorities as evidence that we're anti-White or somehow don't belong. That attitude often stems from a deeper belief that ethnic minorities are guests in Britain rather than fellow citizens with an equal stake in the country's future. The reality is that most of us were born here. This is our home. We have every right to celebrate what Britain gets right and to speak out about what it gets wrong. Criticising your country isn't a sign that you don't belong; it's often a sign that you care enough to want it to do better.Bushra Shaikh: Femi Mohammed is a Muslim grooming...
Femi Mohammed is a Muslim grooming gang survivor. Her horrendous ordeal was intentionally ignored from Rupert Lowe's inquiry because her traffickers were White men and not Pakistani men. There are many more grooming gang survivors like her. Dismissed and ignored. Ben Habib filmed an interview with her twice but refused to publish it after joining Restore. All victims matter. And every rabid groomer should face the full force of the law. There is more to Femi's story- it gets worse. White grooming gangs and traffickers have been protected by both the police and Tory politicians.Bushra Shaikh: Major reports and official government statistics...
Major reports and official government statistics consistently find that non-White individuals face more disproportionate and harsher outcomes in the UK justice system compared to their White counterparts. Suella Braverman inverting the truth again for her handlers.Read more
