Been asked to help to find a Muslim trans person who is Black/POC and willing to be interviewed for a new publication about left wing politics & YourParty. If anyone can help, I’d be very grateful. The preference is for a practising Muslim. Can remain anonymous if desired #journorequest

Keir Starmer is the worst. Honestly. I hope Wes Streeting stabs him in the back and takes over as PM. And then I hope someone does it to Wes straight after. We may as well have something to smile about.

I wrote about the recent prisoners that have been released by mistake www.independent.co.uk/voices/priso... for @independentvoices.bsky.social
As a former guard, I know why prisoners are being released by mistake
When I was a prison officer, inmates who wanted to go on the run needed more than a cleric error to be released – their jailbreaks were properly creative, says Ava Vidal

I agree with Lenny Henry – Black Britons deserve reparations

Zack Polanski is gay. Stop pushing the woman hypnosis boob story. If any gay man tells me something he thinks can improve my udders after I’ve fed 3 children, I know he’s coming from a place of love.

I was on LBC last night discussing Operation Raising The Colours. It’s not patriotism it’s plain old fashioned racism. Look who is championing it for goodness sake!

I’m so sick and tired of the police dragging their feet. They phoned me when I was on stage, despite me telling them I was going to be on stage. The appointment they put off until yesterday has now been put off until later in the week. If I wasn’t so determined I’d have sacked it off by now!

I don’t agree with moving Carnival to Hyde Park www.independent.co.uk/voices/notti...
Notting Hill Carnival belongs in the streets, now more than ever
Last year’s race riots around the UK echoed the very reason why Claudia Jones founded the Carnival in 1959, writes Ava Vidal. There needs to be a compromise made around street access and crowd safety
