Yeah, that comes from a lot of online right types who also think Sadiq Khan is an Islamist when he's basically a woke troll.

Sadiq of course is of Muhajir origin, and I bet he has some spicy opinions about Mirpuris.

Connor Tomlinson does this a lot with minority politicians. He also hallucinated that Shabana Mahmood is some kind of far leftist, when anyone in Labour will tell you she makes David Blunkett look like a hippie.

The kinds of attitude you see in the Facebook post I linked about Shabana are probably not shared by most Reform supporters. And some who sneer at Shabana's immigrant parents would overlook if she weren't Labour (ofc her policies are conservative socially, the fact she's spoken a bit about racism seems to have raised a lot of ire though). Still, if to these kinds of posters, Shabana can never be a true patriot because of her Asian immigrant parents, what would their attitude be to the half-Indian Linden Kemkaran, or Egyptian immigrants' daughter Laila Cunningham? Or for that matter, Ben Habib (born in Pakistan, came here at 14), whose party Advance UK is being promoted as a harder version of Reform? I don't know : we shall see.

I promise this is the last post I do on this topic, I'm sorry for the derail. But the reaction from some quarters to Shabana's appointment is honestly insane. People talking about her as the 'worst option' for leader and saying the 'military would be needed' and there would be 'riots' if she were PM. Maurice Glasman was right to call this stuff out- it's so obviously because of her skin colour. Ironically, these kinds of people ignore that she's the most likely of Labour to actually do something about immigration & crime...

I've seen a lot of men on Substack and X, and some women, framing this as a 'race war' scenario. Not only is this the last thing we need, it's a narrative that ignores the suffering of a lot of women who don't fit that narrative (notwithstanding that 'race war' ideology WAS a big motivator of the gangs).

Rakib Ehsan has done excellent work on ethnic minorities' political attitudes (see his book Beyond Grievance) and he draws attention to the factors silencing Muslim and Sikh victims here.

Belated coda on this. An interview with Bradford MP Naz Shah on the abuse her mother suffered at the hands of an "uncle" who duped her into handing over her property and then got his criminal associates to rape her.

I always thought of the grooming as the flip side of honour violence and her memoirs seem to bear this out.

Trigger warning, etc.

‘She did kill. There’s no grey area there’: Labour MP Naz Shah on the day she and her mother were arrested for murder

The politician was 18 when she and her mum were hauled off to a police station for the killing of the man she’d considered an uncle. What happened next would shape her future. She talks Labour’s woes, making mistakes, and why it’s finally time to share...
