Bushra Shaikh: No Government would release...

No Government would release suspects on bail if this truly was the case. This seems likely to be posturing for US and Israel's benefit. It doesn't add up one bit. Andy Burnham just doing vocal politics to keep allies happy.

Bushra Shaikh: Saudi Arabia is facing a potentially...

Saudi Arabia is facing a potentially prolonged disruption to oil exports to Europe because both routes it has been relying on to bypass Hormuz are now compromised. The East-West pipeline has been attacked, while the Red Sea/Bab el-Mandab is under Houthi threat. The UK may not depend heavily on Saudi crude directly, but oil is a global market. Disrupt Saudi supply and the price shock travels straight to Britain - petrol, diesel, transport, food, inflation and household bills. This is how a war thousands of miles away reaches your wallet.

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: 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.
