Let's get Britains future back

My journey, is rooted in hard work and a commitment to making a positive difference. Raised by parents who toiled tirelessly, my father’s socialist ideals sparked my passion for change. I’m indebted to their sacrifices for me and my five siblings. My mum sewed clothes and supported the family so we had food on the table and a secure home where we all could live. I am a carer for my father, who has dementia. He gave so much to our society but asked and expected so little.

My wife’s parents have a long farming tradition, from goats and buffaloes to cows.

Her father grows various crops, such as wheat, rice, and sugarcane, and is also developing expertise in fish farming. I thoroughly enjoy this.

Also, it is lovely to see that they have given land to local people so they can build their houses and live on it. They take care of them financially and support them in other ways. They are trying to build a school where her mother teaches local children.

I’m deeply engaged in the community, home to over 70,000 people. As a media professional and radio presenter, I’m dedicated to providing our community a platform to voice their concerns.

Over the years, I’ve spoken to residents grappling with the pressing issues at the forefront of their minds. The cost-of-living crisis, escalating mortgage rates, and soaring rents. Access to quality healthcare, doctors, schools, and the environment weigh heavily on their hearts. Pollution in our rivers: Water companies are not held accountable, so close to home, we see the rivers that demands particular attention. Transport and the infrastructure to encourage more use of Public Transport.

We must get Britain building again, Switch on Great British Energy, Get the NHS back on its feet, Take back our streets and breakdown the barriers to opportunities. 

A Labour Government is desperately needed to address these challeng

With over 20 years of active involvement in the Labour Party and a background as a Councillor and Cabinet Lead for Transport, I support the vision for our country that includes the establishment of a publicly-owned energy company, Great British Energy.

As a Union member of BECTU Prospects and the Community Union, all champion self-employed and freelancers, the game-changing manifesto they worked on with the Fabian Society called the Progressive Plan for Self-Employed People in the UK is transformative.

I am the chair of my local Co-op, and my mission is to tackle poverty, advocate for the rights of asylum seekers and refugees to work and vote, and support family carers who provide invaluable care and support to their loved ones.

Our NHS needs rescuing from the clutches of the Tory Party; proper investment and an honest conversation with the population on levelling up must happen.

I understand the pressures and responsibilities of representing the constituency in Parliament. I’ll fight for more attention from Westminster, ensuring our issues are solved.

I still remember my roots, and with unwavering conviction, boundless energy, and profound dedication, I will work tirelessly to secure victory for Labour in the next General Election.

Together, we’ll stand strong and proud.. That’s what I will do. Hanif

I have worked closely with Hanif Khan over many years. He is a formidable campaigner who engages really well with the electorate. Committed, principled and hardworking, Hanif is an excellent communicator at every level. He combines his leadership and inspiration skills with a fine grassroots manner, displaying all the attributes of a first-class politician. I have no hesitation in recommending him unreservedly.
Cllr Robert Evans
Former MEP
“I have known Hanif Khan for a long time and have been impressed by his commitment to the Labour Party. His community has the largest mosque in Europe and is in my constituency. They are a warm and loving community and do good work. I have found him to be a person of integrity, deeply committed to social justice in Britain and worldwide. We need people like Hanif in Parliament".
Siobhain McDonagh MP
Mitcham and Morden

“Hanif has a strong political and community instinct that has seen him build solid local support and being elected and re-elected in a former Tory ward. In a demanding political role, I have seen Hanif grow as a politician and lead in complex local issues over the last five years. His thoughtful understanding of centre left politics and community dynamics helps drive his work to improve the lives of others around him and make a mark with what he has achieved for the local area”.
Seema Malhotra MP, Feltham and Heston
Shadow Minister for Skills (Education)
“... Hanif dealt with opponents listening politely and respectfully while at the same time showing courage and conviction that change was necessary to improve the borough for residents and the local environment. This was recognised by London Cycling Campaign with a ‘Community Champion’ presented to Hanif in 2021.”

Let's Chat

A clear economic plan. Security, prosperity and respect for all. Delivery growth through a partnership of state and enterprise.My Politics

I love my country! I was born in London but have worked across the country as a filmmaker and on local community projects, providing immense experience and appreciation of engaging with all local communities. Until recently, I was the Cabinet Lead for Transport in the London Borough of Hounslow, where frequent challenges were successfully dealt with by myself through determined leadership.

I am a Cooperative party member and active in the CLP. My political achievements include positive action on Drugs and Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB), radical new policies, and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs). Areas included Heathrow and public transport.

Other achievements include:

• I helped shape the One Hounslow and Race Equalities programme using ward-by-ward evidence.
• On graveyard burials, resolved problems with water seepage.• A football club in the community.
• Campaigned against the Tories, in 2014, 2018 and won and nearly beating them again in a strongly held seat in 2022.
• Secretary of the National Association of Black Asian Ethnic Minority Councillors.
• Encouraging and inspiring many communities and individuals in the borough to improve their areas.

I have a passion for social justice and want a fairer society. The rise of the Far Right, antisemitism and Islamophobia results from politicians not listening and making decisions without justice.

No one is immune to life challenges. I am a family carer of an elderly father. I am also a grandparent and married to a resettled migrant. Support must be provided for those in need help during their life to lift them out of poverty. Free school meals, quality education and access to heating and eating are a fundamental part of who we are and what we aspire to, as is access to the NHS.

Experienced presenting live current affairs programme broadcast internationally

I presented a ground-breaking 45 minute, global current affairs programme, called “The Bigger Picture”, which was broadcast live on Sky Channel 731 to 194 different countries. The programme covered important topics and involves interviewing guests from around the world, including: Australia, Cyprus, USA. Past guests have included the Deputy Speaker for the Secretary General of the United Nations, Past Secretary of State for Environment and Climate Change, Ed Davy, Members of Parliament, and subject experts. The Bigger Picture was a show created by MTA Int., with the permission of Hazrat Khalifatul Messih, the worldwide head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. I was also a News Caster for over 10 years on MTA Int.

I host the live Global Telethon for Humanity First Intl. and support the production to help raise many thousands of pounds for their imperative work. I have travelled internationally making documentaries for the amazing projects they deliver to many countries around the world.
 
 

Voice of Islam Radio

As an experienced video director, lighting and audio specialist, cameraman and editor, with over 20 years’ experience in broadcast television. I have worked for Sky, BBC and satellite TV stations. I am a committed professional with considerable capacity to deliver crisp, effective editing and technical advice, whether for news programmes, corporate events or training videos.

Small Businesses

Small businesses are the backbone of the UK economy, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK had a combined turnover of £2.3 trillion in 2021. Those businesses with fewer than ten employees – classed as micro businesses – contributed the most, at £953 billion. That is why Keir Starmer’s plan for the Labour Party, ‘growth, growth and growth’ is, recognising the influence of SME’s.

There are 5.6 million businesses in the UK. Imagine if they reduced 10% of fossil fuels would contribute to the cooling down of the planet.

I strongly believe working from home is here to stay, and working together will happen sometimes. But we need touch points where we can feel and see each other. Small businesses are the beating heart of our nation and are ready to help us out of this crisis, not just in this country but in others across the world.

I have been in business since Nov. 2001 working in the media industry:

Video Shoot Production – Which offers complete video filming and production services, for TV Programmes, Corporate and Promotional Videos and now Virtual Reality related content.
 
I was fortunate to be the Vice President of the Hounslow Chamber of Commerce and then serve as the President in 2010. The knowledge gained dealing with business give me a wealth of experience. I am interested in the economy and the importance it plays in developing the thought process for business and politics. I believe running a successful business is a massive benefit to society and a big responsibility.
