I'm delighted to announce my new book 'The Crescent and the Commons: Inside the New British Muslim Politics', co-authored with John Holmwood.
It's built on forensic, behind-the-scenes reporting on one of the most contested issues of our time.
Coming soon with @HurstPublishers!

If you need to read one thing on Hezbollah, that’s it. You should read this one.
Even though @DanielHiltonCFC didn’t accept my proposed headline:
“How Hezbollah survived Israel thanks to youth addicted to playing video games”

Israeli settlers, brandishing American made M4s, detained me & other Americans on my trip to Palestine.
When the IDF arrived, they sided with the settlers & continued our detention.
They made a huge mistake.
You will be hearing more soon. nytimes.com/2026/07/11/us/po…

My friend and colleague @AminSikka was supposed to be in London this week for the One World Media awards, where he’s nominated for journalist of the year.
At the end of last week, the Home Office told us they weren’t letting him into the country

FIFA's president can invent a farcical peace prize to flatter the ego of the president of the United States and spend months pandering to his political project, but Haiti's national team can't acknowledge their national struggle for independence because it's too "political"
🚨 BREAKING! 🤯
The Haiti National Team will have to change its uniform for the World Cup. 🇭🇹
FIFA has asked Saeta, the company responsible for the uniform's design, to alter it due to potential political messages. 👕
Haiti's jersey features a design of the Battle of Vertières from 1803. This battle was considered decisive for the country's independence following the conflict with France. ⚔️

FIFA confirms Somali referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan will be unable to officiate at the World Cup after he was denied entry into the United States.
FIFA says was “informed by authorities that Mr Artan’s status will not be changed at present” & is host country who determines visas

This is counter-productive, authoritarian and chilling. The British state should not be in the business of banning commentators and journalists from entering the country, without compelling reason. Finding their views objectionable is nowhere near enough.
