This is a wonderful articulation of how it feels to be a Black person in white spaces, who for reasons of safety has to "laugh along with their own humiliation." This man is a very successful lawyer and will never be safe from it so imagine everyone else. Our identity is inherently political. 💔

Instead of headline grabbing stuff like this which will have little effect, let’s reopen safe routes so refugees can apply for asylum and visas whilst on mainland Europe and successful applicants can come here and find work immediately.
One million people have already signed a petition against ID cards.
If we’re serious about rebuilding trust, this is the last place to start.
It's like deciding to become a pacifist and then walking into your roughest local pub and knocking everyone's pints out of their hands.

Rejoin the EU to solve UK’s economic woes and tackle small boats crisis, Kinnock tells Starmer.
The economy would gain £100bn, the government £40bn.
We would be part of the Dublin Protocol again, meaning we could return irregular migrants back to France.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social are we not respecting free speech any more? What the hell are you allowing to happen by arresting protestors left, right and centre? Correction… arresting those on the left. You cannot pretend to be protecting your founding ideals - Starmer is leaning towards the right.

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...
