On Monday we learnt that 1 in 3 children are living in poverty…
And that deprivation has hit a record high
Given their new found compassion for struggling Brits
Where’s Jeremy Clarkson, Nigel Farage and Andrew Lloyd Webber to fight their corner?

Emboldened racist Laurence Fox’s visceral hate towards Sangita Myska plays out in many forms in 🇬🇧 society. It’s poison seeps into govt, media, institutions & communities. The “othering” of people of colour has massive consequences.
Part of Laurence Fox's racist rant to Sangita Myska which he has since deleted, and which has been sent to the Police.
Don't RT his shame.
Or do.

The stereotype “passive” Asian woman exists only because hidden histories of 🇬🇧 activist women of colour are never mainstreamed. Jayaben Desai and many others fought fearlessly for the rights we have today. #WomensRights

On this day, in 1922, Shapurji Saklatvala was elected as the MP for Battersea North. He was Labour's first MP of colour. A communist and anti-colonialist, he was a founder member of the Workers' Welfare League and attempted to unionise Indian seafarers in Britain's port cities.

People power is demonstrated by action and unity. Transitioning to Bluesky is an act of resistance. Elon Musk does not own us. Looking forward to connecting with all those that feel the same.
