A lesser of two evils choice between a bad deal and no deal is not acceptable. Our country deserves better than Hobson's choice, and our MPs should be allowed to vote with their conscience to deliver what they believe is best for the country. |

It's so desperately simple. The Government's standard response to these kinds of petitions is "The British people voted to leave the EU and the government respect that decision". BUT, the government themselves DO NOT KNOW the outcome of that decision, so how can they possibly respect it??? |

11 Jan 2021, midnight | Religious Hatred: Islam | Apsana Begum (Labour - Poplar and Limehouse) |
Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union : To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps her Department took to mark Islamophobia Awareness month in November 2020. Answered by Kemi Badenoch - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) The Government notes Islamophobia Awareness Month but takes the view that combatting Islamophobia is not a time-limited task and such thinking and behaviour should be tackled whenever it occurs. For that reason we continue to work closely with Muslim communities to tackle hate against them, including understanding issues and trends. This includes supporting Tell MAMA (Measuring Anti-Muslim Attacks) with just over £2.8m distributed over the last five years to monitor, combat and raise awareness of anti-Muslim hatred. |
