BREAKING

Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.

  • UK Labor MP reveals 'Whisper list' of people to avoid in Westminster
    Labour MP for Warrington North, Charlotte Nichols

In an interview for British broadcaster BBC Radio 5 Live, Labour MP for Warrington North, Charlotte Nichols, revealed the existence of an unwritten 'Whisper network list' that includes the names of 40 Westminster politicians to avoid for safety-related reasons. 

According to the MP, the list identifies people known for bullying or carrying out acts of sexual misconduct. 

🗣️"Everyone has a 'whisper network list' of people to stay away from."

🔴Labour's @charlotte2153 tells @TVNaga01 who new MP's are told to avoid in Parliament.

💬"The most dangerous people are the people you least suspect."

"We need to be aware of these MPs from a range of political parties for our friends’ sake who may visit parliament, for our staffers’ sake and of course for our own safety and professional reputation as well," she said.

Guaranteeing one's safety would even imply avoiding joint collaboration with the identified individuals.

The list is not 100%, according to Nichols, who said that one person whom most would deem "good and safe" ended up doing her wrong. 

"Everyone will know of a whisper network list of people to avoid in parliament. When I joined, I was sat down and told of people I should never accept a drink from, never be alone with and avoid as far as possible to stay safe."

If it wasn't for online abuse and the "culture of toxicity" within Parliament, Nichols said she would've had the "perfect job".

"We all know [who they are] and nothing is done and they continue to walk around and do their jobs – and there’s that kind of culture of impunity on it."

Although she did not identify any of the 40 individuals, she did mention that two among them are former cabinet ministers.

The list keeps growing, she said, as cases of sexual abuse and bullying are further increasing. 

Charlotte Nichols began her career as an MP for North Warrington under the leadership of former Labor chief Jeremy Corbyn and has been an MP continuously since December 2019.

She is heavily criticized by the right due to her being a staunch supporter of Palestinian rights.
