He served on Labour's front bench for foreign affairs and defence for over a decade.
@khalid4PB was MP for Birmingham Perry Barr from 2001 to 2024, serving as Shadow Minister for Europe under Jeremy Corbyn and Shadow Minister for Defence Procurement under Keir Starmer. He was made an Honorary Associate of the Council of Europe — believed to be the first Muslim to receive the honour — for his work on human rights, freedom of expression and minority protection.
He'll speak at "A New Chapter for Turkey? Peace, Democracy and the Kurdish Question".

The new provinces debate has become an argument about majorities in the assemblies under Article 239. My latest in @dawn_com argues those majorities alone can’t settle it: the question should first go to the people, in a referendum under Article 48(6).

Pakistan has reopened the historic Gurdwara Chhatti Patshahi in #Lahore after 77 years, marking the first Sikh religious prayers here since the 1947 Partition. The reopening followed the removal of alleged illegal occupants and the handover of the site to the Sikh community.

A year ago, Reuters called Pakistan a “diplomatic outcast”; today it describes it as “a mediator between the US and Iran.” My latest in @dawn_com examines how credible international platforms such as @Reuters, @ChathamHouse and others are reading Pakistan’s diplomatic moment and the role of its leadership. dawn.com/news/2012231

Truly grateful to H.E. @JaneMarriottUK for taking the time to feature in Pakistan TV’s exclusive documentary, ‘Made in Pakistan: Sialkot to FIFA’. Her enthusiasm and gracious participation added immense value. A class act throughout, her contribution helped make this doc even more engaging @ukinpakistan @FCDOGovUK @PakTVGlobal @TararAttaullah
Talking exclusively to Pakistan TV for its documentary, ‘Made in Pakistan: Sialkot to FIFA', British High Commissioner Jane Marriott says Pakistan has already made its mark on the FIFA World Cup through Sialkot’s world-class craftsmanship, with match balls used in iconic moments of football history. She highlights the deep connection between Pakistan and the global game, from historic World Cup goals to the modern stadiums of the UK and North America.

'To say that trying to behead somebody is a normal culture, that is absolutely wrong.'
Labour MP Khalid Mahmood brand Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Hilary Benn, as 'totally out of order' for trying to play down claims the Belfast attacker came from an 'alien culture'.

I am absolutely appalled by today's cowardly terrorist attack on a train in Quetta, which has left at least 24 people dead and several more injured. Our thoughts and prayers are with the martyrs and their families.

So proud of Mummy’s school and the incredible difference it is making ❤️
Seeing the smiles on these children’s faces today says everything. So many disadvantaged children are being given opportunities they may otherwise never have had. @AlfajrTrust
