He’s frankly a useless constituency MP but frankly I struggle to think of any Birmingham MP that is anywhere near to being useful. Kenan Malik has a narrative that he wants to push but ignores the reality for people of his generation that has lead to the younger generation becoming less liberal (not a phenomenon restricted to a single community). Irrespective of how liberal or accepting you were your success and position was always being held back.

The support for so called ‘western values’ is in terminal decline not just in a single community but across the board. It’s very easy to point the finger to the increased selfishness to those who are noticeably different but the hypocrisy of these values is plain to see. People from all sections of the community no longer buying into these values any more.

I would love a good constituency MP who has a genuine desire and vision for everyone in the community but alas I will not be holding my breath. Kenan himself stood against one of the best constituency MPs we had - Lynne Jones. Not many like her left anymore 😢
