Prejudice toward one community is prejudice towards us all.

Graphic from the Mayor of London with a grey background and black text. The heading reads “Mayor of London.” The statement condemns Islamophobic incidents connected to a far-right protest, says organisers came to spread anti-Muslim hatred and division, and affirms London’s commitment to inclusion. It calls on Londoners to show solidarity with Jewish, Muslim and minority communities and states that prejudice against one community affects everyone. The statement is signed “Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan.”

FIrst time on #wildflowerhour - would be grateful for confirmation that I've got these right! Cowslips, cuckooflowers, green-winged orchid and field wood-rush. All taken today in a grassy meadow in Oxfordshire; more in ALT text.

A cute yellow cowslip in a grassy meadow. Hundreds of them in the background across the meadow. Just coming into season in this location.

Two short cuckooflowers of the palest pink, surrounded by grass and some dead leaves. These and several others were in the dampest sections of the meadow.

A short orchid with several purple flowers on its stem, surrounded by grass. The flowers have spots and stripes and pale patches. This was the earliest of these orchids, most are still at ground level in this meadow where you can only just about see the buds. Leaves plain, like broad large grass leaves, not spotted. Having pored over several photos of early purple orchids and green-winged orchids, these orchids all look like the green-winged orchids and not like the early purples, despite it being rather early in the season!

Two views from slightly different angles of the same field wood-rush (I think it's that!). It is surrounded by grass, and there's a brown leaf. The interesting bit is the splotches of brown at the top with white streaks radiating out from the centre. You can't really see the leaves of this field wood-rush very well, but they are few in number, like grass leaves but rather wispy.

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
