We have a billionaire here, tax avoiding while blaming the poorest for the UK's economic crisis. Ratcliffe follows a pattern of using false figures to whip up panic and misdirect blame. These comments are an insult to the many migrants - players and staff - who Man U rely on for worldwide success.

‘It certainly could remind anyone of home, no matter where that is’ 🥧 A new wave of Chinese, Hong Kong and Malaysian bakeries have cropped up in London and across the UK, following recent trends in immigration as well as increasing numbers of international students. ✍️ @chaujeanlin.bsky.social

New @runnymedetrust.bsky.social & @neweconomics.bsky.social report links structural exclusion, debt & colonialism, finding racialised households face “systemic gatekeeping, algorithmic bias & discriminatory treatment” when seeking credit, often pushing people to high-cost lenders. #DriversOfDebt

“You can’t deliver good, inclusive antiracist education through subject areas if teachers don’t feel confident in talking about these issues” Our CEO Dr @shabna.bsky.social discusses curriculum, reparatory justice and the wider political climate on the Repair-Ed podcast 🔗 https://ow.ly/APEg50Y9SMQ

The Cranston Inquiry concludes there were systemic failures to rescue people seeking asylum. Deaths in the Channel are a direct result of the UK’s hostile environment, which dehumanises people fleeing war and persecution, and forces them to risk their lives in small boat crossings.

"Racialised debt and poverty in Britain are not the result of individual failures, but the predictable outcomes of historic and ongoing systems that are built on social & economic inequalities" Read the new #DriversofDebt report from Power To Prosper & @neweconomics.bsky.social 🔗 ow.ly/xP6650Y8gZw

The idea of ‘earned settlement’ is racist and classist. 📣 So, why are we calling on allies to complete the Government’s ‘Earned Settlement’ consultation? Find out more: migrantsrights.org.uk/2026/01/29/e... #HostileEnvironment #Migration

A formal apology for slavery is important, but risks being merely symbolic. What's needed is real reparatory justice - redesigning our political and economic systems for the benefit of all. Our report on #Reparations calls for redistribution, repair and the creation of a renewed alternative.

In 2023-24, the average property income for landlords rose to £19,400, the highest average in 5 years. Meanwhile in 2023, 18.4% of Black British people lived in non-decent homes Shameful from our govt, protecting landlords instead of fixing our broken housing system. Profits over people once again

Poverty is deepening. 🔎 Our #UKPoverty2026 report was launched this morning. People in very deep poverty now make up the biggest group of people in poverty, at 6.8 million people. This is unacceptable for the fifth richest country in the world, and it has consequences.

We need your help. The Government is proposing sweeping reforms to settlement for migrants and refugees, including for those already in the country. Add your voice to the public consultation before 12 February, using @praxisprojects.bsky.social's response link 🔗 www.praxis.org.uk/consultation

People need to be housed in our communities, not in military barracks. We can't go back to repeating the same mistakes that cost lives and retraumatised people seeking safety. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Human trafficking is a serious human rights violation, and it can affect anyone, anywhere. Check out our blog on @runnymedetrust.bsky.social to read more about its root causes and what we should be doing to end it for good: www.runnymedetrust.org/blog/from-ma...

🚨EXCLUSIVE 🚨Our new briefing shows that policy and prosecutorial responses to the summer 2024 riots delink the violence from racism - paving the way for anti-immigration and Islamophobic protests and far-right vigilantism to form an infinite loop. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

#OtD 18 Jan 1981 13 Black teenagers were killed in a fire in New Cross, London, and a survivor died by suicide 2 years later. Police first suspected the cause to be a racist attack, as did the local community, but the media began to blame the victims stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/7802...

Mandatory Digital ID proposals would extend the hostile environment and expand existing discriminatory systems, leaving people of colour (and many others) vulnerable to harm and exclusion - just as we saw with the Windrush scandal We've long campaigned against them, this is a welcome move from govt

If we allow the state to strip people of their citizenship, we will end up in a very dark place.

Citizenship is a right, not a privilege. A two-tiered approach to citizenship sets a dangerous precedent that encourages a principle of double punishment, with deeply racialised outcomes. Read our joint report for more 🔗 ow.ly/1jei50XVsWu

Your citizenship could be at risk. Our research with Reprieve shows that 9 million people could have their citizenship stripped at the discretion of the UK Home Office, including 3 out of 5 people of colour. Visit the link in our bio for more 🔗

Recent leaks to the media suggest that the government will strip back vital elements of a new Islamophobia definition. To do so would fail to recognise that the discrimination and violence directed at Muslims is a form of racism. Read our full statement 👇 www.runnymedetrust.org/news/respons...

Citizenship is a right, not a privilege. Our new briefing with @reprievehq.bsky.social reveals a shocking racial disparity in citizenship stripping practices. 3 in 5 people of colour are at risk of having their UK citizenship stripped, at the discretion of the Home Office 🧵👇

UPDATE 🚨 The govt have launched their long-awaited consultation on police use of facial recognition. But they want to expand it to every town centre. Why are they making this decision before the public has even had the chance to tell them what they think? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

Celebrating one more year of Prosper to Prosper! The research and organising team have been joined by community allies from all around the country. Power to Prosper is building a movement to tackle the racialised impacts of poverty and debt. @runnymedetrust.bsky.social

The Government’s move to scrap trials by jury is highly concerning (🧵)

“Children from the poorest areas had a 13 per cent higher chance of dying” When a child is rushed to a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU), families would assume that their loved one will get the same shot at survival as every other patient in the unit.

1 in 3 UK children live in poverty. Sadly, the figures are much higher for many children of colour. The scrapping of the two child benefit cap is welcome, and long overdue. Children should never be punished for political failures. Civil society shouldn't have had to campaign so hard for this win.

We've written to the Home Secretary and Chair of the National Police Chiefs’ Council raising our concerns that guidance encouraging police forces to disclose the ethnicity and nationality of suspects charged in high-profile cases is having a devastating impact on our country.

Today is #EqualPayDay - the day when, due to the gender pay gap in average wages, women effectively stop earning compared to men. However, our analysis shows that for many women of colour, this date falls considerably earlier in the year.

The government's latest asylum plans mark another alarming escalation of the hostile environment. Policies that seek to criminalise, dehumanise and malign people seeking asylum will not fix the real issues facing this country. Read our full response: https://ow.ly/jrwT50Xtmeo

Another day another migration story. Terrifying in here tho is the reform of the ECHR she will attempt. This will be Labour's biggest and most dangerous mistake, I GUARANTEE. It will set up the infrastructure for a Reform govt. to dismantle all our protections. news.sky.com/story/home-s...

We are unsurprised by the latest review which concludes what we have known for decades: the Metropolitan Police is institutionally racist. As Dr Shereen Daniels' independent review states, this is not simply a matter of ‘bad apples’.

This is something @aaronwinter.bsky.social and I explored in our report for the @runnymedetrust.bsky.social in the lead up to the 2024 election Once more, the key question is not whether immigration is a popular concern, but why it has been made so www.runnymedetrust.org/publications...

New @yougov.co.uk polling confirms what we and others have been saying for years. It's time politicians and media stopped behaving as though immigration is the only issue that people care about - an agenda that fuels fear, hate and racism - and focus instead on what people actually want and need.

Everyone should have a safe and secure home, free from racism and discrimination. But we know that isn't always the case. That's why we’re asking you to share your own stories of racism when trying to access a social home. You can make a big contribution. Please share here: shltr.org.uk/gfQOW

The Renters Rights Bill has become law. This is a huge step towards addressing our broken housing system, which has been achieved through fierce campaigning from civil society across the board. While extremely welcome, there are still gaps. Here’s what you need to know 🧵

Far too often, medical schools leave Black heritage students feeling persistently unwelcome. We need to move beyond mere inclusion towards genuine and lasting belonging, writes Carl Kulimushi, a student at the University of Manchester. New on our blog ✍️ www.runnymedetrust.org/blog/getting...

Three private companies have made a combined profit of £383m from UK asylum accommodation contracts since 2019, according to the National Audit Office. This is not a long-term or sustainable plan. It is a quick fix for cheap political points that does nothing to fix our broken asylum system.

We’re trapped in a narrow conversation about trust and policing. Instead of continuing to invest in policing reforms and solutions that do not work, let’s instead consider community initiatives that we know work to reduce crime - pastoral care, youth workers, mental health support.

We’re horrified to hear that another woman has been r*ped in another racially motivated attack. Women's safety and women's bodies cannot be a political football, this rise in misogynistic violence must be treated with seriousness and urgency.

Huge congratulations to our brilliant Editor @shafikmeghji.bsky.social 🙌

Any definition of Islamophobia needs to recognise it as racism, and its structural nature. Defining a form of racism is not an act of censorship; clear definitions protect both people and free speech. Read our full briefing 'Islamophobia: Towards a working definition' here 🔗 lnkd.in/e_ZbXn-8

‘Feted on stage but shut out from the levers of power’ The story of Grenadian-born cabaret king Leslie ‘Hutch’ Hutchinson is a reminder of Britain’s broader failure to sustain Black excellence beyond a performative spotlight, writes Anil Dawar for our blog ✍️ www.runnymedetrust.org/blog/hutch-b...

‘Damning’ review of anti-Black racism within Met police ‘buried’ by force

The official police recorded hate crime figures for 2024/25 have been released, with really stark reporting. Between April 2024 and March 2025, there has been a 6% overall increase in racial hate crime, and a 3% overall increase in religious hate crime, compared to the previous 12 months. 👇
