Secure justice for the Windrush generation by educating the nation and exposing the scandal through innovative storytelling. Provide legal aid, mental health advice, and work hard to amplify victims/survivors’ voices, ensuring they are seen, heard and healed.

Great Yarmouth is set to host the biggest neo-nazi music festival in over a decade. The Home Office has the power to block entry of overseas bands, which will scupper the promoters plans. But they won’t act unless we demand it. Email the Home Office now: hopenothate.org.uk/2025/08/28/g...

The most cost-effective way to reduce child poverty is to abolish the two-child limit, which would cost £7,480 per child lifted out of poverty. If it is not scrapped then one-in-three children will be in poverty by 2029-39, including half of children in large families 👉 buff.ly/oiV5Re2

Scandals within The Post Office (TPO) scandal Alan Bates offered 49.2% of his compensation claim. Postmasters bullied to accept less. Public purse to bear cost of £1.8bn+. No contribution from TPO execs, Fujitsu, TPO lawyers, auditors. When will the scandal end? archive.ph/OP10x

Who is actually in power? Keir Starmer or the unelected Morgan McSweeney?

@aiannucci.bsky.social Have you read Both Not Half? Excellent book. Thought it might resonate with you. I'm dual heritage Scottish/Italian too and @officialjassa.bsky.social draws out some interesting points for folk like us.. one foot in two cultures!

BREAKING NEWS: Victory for the rule of law. The Court of Appeal has ruled that the former Home Secretary Suella Braverman acted unlawfully when she used statutory instruments to make regulations that significantly restricted the right to public protest.

We are deeply concerned that recently announced measures by Georgia’s ruling party threaten Georgian civil society’s ability to operate independently and play its vital role in safeguarding democracy and the rule of law. ➡️ Check out our statement: www.transparency.org/en/press/dem...

Welfare cuts are a political choice. 685,500 Britons (1%) have wealth of £2.8trn. 48m (70%) have £2.4trn. Richest four have more wealth than 20m people combined. Govt could have taxed the rich, chose to cut benefits of the disabled/poor. Not acceptable. Tell your MP to oppose the cuts.

A new play written by AzukaOforka – her first play for which she won best writer at The Stage Debut Awards 2024.  You may have seen her acting in a few TV programmes The lead part was played by Suzanne Packer – a very powerful portrayal of survival in a brutal time. Worth going to see.

Private equity bids for Thames Water “are conditional on further, and varying, regulatory support and accommodations being achieved”. Translation - bailout, bigger bills, no fines for sewage dumping & leaks, no restraint on dividends & exec pay. Total Govt/OFWAT capitulation

@axrenton.bsky.social Have you seen the new book. Marcus Ryder and @lennyhenryofficial.bsky.social on reparations? Or did you contribute so know all about it. :-)

"69% of Republican voters say Russia is the aggressor and 83% disapprove of Putin" www.wsj.com/opinion/most...

Look, socialists largely deserted Labour after Starmer incinerated his promises and told us to find a ditch and die in it. But if you’re a liberal still backing Keir Starmer after he incinerated the foreign aid budget, how have you not died from terminal embarrassment

Sixty years have passed and we're about to be worse off. Where are our revolutionaries? Are you out there? This is your moment! Do not obey in advance.

Racial Justice Sunday was established 30 years ago following the tragic murder of Stephen Lawrence it's a time to pause, reflect, and commit to a fairer, more inclusive society. Take a step - whether it’s reading a new perspective or simply being open to a conversation. #RacialJusticeSunday2025

Judge: The Southport killings by Axel Rudakubana were NOT an act of terror. So Nigel Farage WAS spreading misinformation which helped incite the riots. Black & brown people were hunted in the streets because of that man's lies and islamophobia.

New UK pensions minister has called to scrap ‘rubbish’ triple lock on state pension. Labour/Tories gunning for pensioners, condemning them to poverty. The issue isn't Young v Old. It is justice, equity, humanity. Young will get old too & face premature death. Fight for rights. archive.ph/NmDpE

@corinnefowler.bsky.social Have you read Both Not Half by Jassa Ahluwalia? Mention of NT report in it. P156. Didn't see your name in the reference.

Educational principle number one: all behaviour is communication. Therefore it is impossible to deal with the behaviours until you explore its drivers.

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.

This is an excellent podcast. Well worth a listen.

"I have to take into account whether it's right at the moment to impose a further burden on the taxpayer” The PM defends his government’s shocking decision not to compensate women who were impacted by changes to the state pension age

UK Govt wants to build 1.5m new homes by 2029; 700,000 dwellings are empty in England alone. Besides questions about affordability & services, how will the govt deal with supply chain and logistical problems. I asked Minister to publish a report. Watch her answer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwK5...

From the appalling comments this film is getting on X it’s clear to me if we want to avoid a dangerous chain of events which could one day see Britain joining Russia & Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR we need to constantly call out this insane drumbeat from the right to leave

@overunderpod.bsky.social I thought Gary Younge might like this one? 😀 #OverUnderPod

It's human instinct to dismiss what we disagree with. But Trump, Bannon, Musk, Farage benefit from being underestimated. "It gives credence to the notion their radical politics is necessary. Left unchecked, 'outlandish' possibilities can become concrete realities" Take it seriously. My thoughts 👇

"Our History: Race Definition…is every skin colour a race, or how much colour constitutes a race, or is every country or nation a race, or every continent a race, or is every ethnicity a race, or can we just continue to invent races but deny our ‘one humanity’?" @SirGeoffPalmer

Lord, thank You for giving me a reason to be of good cheer.  Help me spread happiness to people who need to receive it.  I pray You will give me unique ideas and opportunities and the ability to carry them out.

@chinemcdonald.bsky.social You were amazing on @BBCr4Sunday this morning. I learned so much about the breadth of where we bring our decision making from. Very clear and direct about denying the narrative that only the secular can make rational decisions. 👍🏿👍🏽

I’m going to try my best to engage on this platform with other EY professionals who are also passionate about anti-racist practice as well as with those who want to start. I’ll share resources, articles and links to upcoming CPD that I will be delivering both online and in person ☺️

@officialjassa.bsky.social Just reading Both Not Half and am moved to anger and tears at your experience in hospital. To be unseen is painful. Solidarity #BothNotHalf

@axrenton.bsky.social @corinnefowler.bsky.social Just reading around the Nottingham Uni slavery report.Do you know who is conducting the research the king has commissioned into the list of British monarchs who benefited from slavery. I'd heard it was one person.

Here I unpack the terrible reporting on the Nottingham University slavery report: x.com/threadreader...

Exactly. Allyship is a verb, not a noun.

Pretty much every institution/industry sees the need for an independent safeguarding regulator - usually funded by the industry itself Sport, to which millions of our youngest & most vulnerable have access, doesn’t It should www.nytimes.com/athletic/594...

I love Ian Hislop but it’s worth noting that most of us would balk at the prospect of publicly admonishing a wrongdoer whose conduct you condemn in this way. I did it once to the UKIP/Reform/Brexit twerp Richard Tice but that took exactly zero guts. This is speaking truth to actual power…

@overunderpod.bsky.social Yayy found you! Brilliant podcast with thought-leading stuff and inter-generational banter. Love it.

In a secret location near Buxton, Derbyshire 70 far-right activists gathered in a marquee for Britain First's summer awards ceremony. What they didn’t know was that a HOPE not hate infiltrator was in the room about to receive Britain First’s ‘Top Activist’ award🤫🏅… hopenothate.org.uk/britain-firs...
