Imran Mulla

My book reviewed in the Wall Street Journal: "An exceptional feat of investigative research... [Depicts] the historical moment when the modern overpowered the ancient—a world, now lost, of floridly costumed courtiers, fabled princes, exotic vices and perfumed palaces"

"A new Labour leader would reshape British foreign policy in the Middle East." MEE's political correspondent @Imran_posts reacts to the latest developments in UK politics as the Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces challenges to his position with a leadership contest expected to take place soon. Watch the full interview in the latest episode of MEE Live on Middle East Eye's YouTube channel.

Welcome to the whacky world of Wes Streeting!

Labour Friend of Israel. Recipient of funding from the 2024 winner of the Israeli Presidential Medal of Honour. Private critic who supports sanctions on the state and says it committed war crimes. Will the real Wes Streeting please stand up? A profile: middleeasteye.net/news/who-real-…

Andy Burnham broke ranks with the Labour leadership to call for a Gaza ceasefire in October 2023. Wes Streeting followed the party line, but privately told Peter Mandelson he could see Israel was committing "war crimes". Which way now for Britain? middleeasteye.net/news/how-andy-…

The Greens did rather well. Imran Mulla and I on the smear campaign that failed: middleeasteye.net/big-story/how-…

NEW: I revisit Andy Burnham's record on foreign policy, from his visit to the West Bank in 2012 to his breaking ranks with the Labour leadership to call for a ceasefire in Gaza in 2023 middleeasteye.net/news/how-andy-…

The Greens have been branded a divisive party driven by "Muslim sectarianism". In this study, Peter Oborne and I explode these false claims about Muslims in British politics and show how the Green Party beat the smears to win big in the local elections: middleeasteye.net/big-story/how-…

ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan says that during a call about issuing arrest warrants for Israeli and Hamas leaders with then Foreign Secretary David Cameron “there was a view expressed that I had lost the plot, or I’d be thought to have lost the plot if we went forward”.

This is a must-read @MiddleEastEye interview with @KarimKhanQC by @davidahearst and @Imran_posts.

EXCLUSIVE: ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan accuses members of the court's governing body of waging a "dangerous" campaign to remove him from office over unfounded sexual misconduct allegations and his investigation into alleged Israeli war crimes: middleeasteye.net/news/icc-karim…

Join me, the wonderful Sadiya Ahmed of @Everyday_Muslim and Journalist and author, @Imran_posts on Tues 19 May at the @RGS_IBG. We'll be discussing connections between Britain and Muslim culture and how we are documenting them. Grab a ticket here: rgs.org/events/upcomin…

NEW: A Green Party source tells us Reform's proposal to put migrant detention centres in Green-voting areas is reminiscent of the Tory party's racist flyers in 1964 which read: "If you want a n----r for a neighbour, vote Labour" middleeasteye.net/news/greens-co…

Green mayoral candidate Areeq Chowdhury says Labour’s long-held dominance in Newham is under growing threat as local elections approach in east London. Chowdhury said frustration with the party’s record and failure to represent voters’ values has led residents to look elsewhere

I roamed east London encountering election candidates and ordinary voters disgruntled with Labour. Also met @AreeqChowdhury, the Green candidate for mayor of Newham. The conclusion? We could be on the brink of a political earthquake: middleeasteye.net/news/its-green…

As we pointed out last year, Cameron's threat directed at the Prosecutor may amount to an Art 70 offence ('corruptly influencing'), and it should be investigated by the UK. The law protecting the integrity of UK justice system should also apply to the ICC. middleeasteye.net/news/could-dav…

Karim Khan has told @mehdirhasan that David Cameron as Foreign Secretary threatened the UK's withdrawal from the ICC. We at MEE revealed this last June. The Labour government has repeatedly refused to comment. British media has largely ignored the story middleeasteye.net/news/karim-kha…

Keir Starmer's Labour government has suffered heavy electoral losses to the Greens and Reform in recent months. Now he's just a week away from the local elections. MEE's Political Correspondent @Imran_posts went to East London to ask the city who they're voting for next week.

EXCLUSIVE: The British chief prosecutor of the ICC, Karim Khan, is set to address the Oxford Union next Tuesday. This will be his first public address since judges cleared him of misconduct, but his future still hangs in the balance middleeasteye.net/news/icc-chief…
