Freedom of religion and belief is a crucial part of what makes the UK so vibrant.

I will always defend religious freedoms, and challenge dog-whistle racism. It is not who we are and must be called out.

Integration is not achieved by othering, but by genuinely understanding and coming together.

*Obviously not just mums - anyone can say this.

Be alert to the increasing dogwhistles of speaking as a 'concerned' grandparent/parent. All very much part of F*rage's supporters current playbook. Particularly repeating fabricated nonsense about what's being taught (or happening) in schools.

The Prime Minister imitating Enoch Powell’s ‘Rivers of Blood’ speech is sickening.

That speech fuelled decades of racism and division. Echoing it today is a disgrace. It adds to anti-migrant rhetoric that puts lives at risk.

Shame on you, Keir Starmer.

I’ve said it before and will say it again, chasing the tail of the right risks taking our country down a very dark path.

Fair & sensible checks on immigration should not equal blaming all the woes of our country on immigrants, rather than the failures of those in power for the last 14 years.

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous.

Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family.

To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

We are coming up to the 5th anniversary of #covid.
Time to recall the ‘other virus’ that caused so many unnecessary deaths, almost broke our #NHS, and betrayed EVERYONE of us, including his own staff!

Good morning. Short thread.

I was contacted by @caroljhedges.bsky.social
recently, who suggested that about 5 years on I should write something about Boris Johnson's capricious, calamitous handling of COVID.

Carol, for you and Hannah.

I don't think other academics have yet internalized that the targeting of universities is taking specific, disciplinary shapes: medical/public health/bio research is on the chopping block, as is the study of the MENA region/Muslims; "diversity"-oriented disciplines like Black studies are next...

That's par for the course in this iteration of the Labour right. The Forde Report highlighted this. You can also ask Muslim MPs Zarah Sultana and Apsana Begum about their treatment by party apparatchiks.

Many of these forests are centuries old life systems that contain a collective intelligence that takes centuries to create. The whole system is in communication with itself & contains a community of mutually beneficial plant & animal collections that are specific to regions & unique to forests.
