Unfortunately, a tabloid newspaper has got hold of a music video I recorded in Islington North with an iconic grime artist I've admired for years.

They are planning to publish a heavily edited clip, so I'm releasing the full version myself. Watch here: https://t.co/vwNGQN2wqU

“These beautiful words very much apply to Diane Abbott too: “This is what happens when our elders do their work well: Angelou kicked the door open so wide that within her own lifetime there existed younger people who didn’t quite remember that there was ever a door there at all.”

[Shaista Aziz 💙 @shaistaAziz]

I wrote this in March 2021 : More than 30 years after smashing the reinforced concrete ceiling Black and ethnic minority women have to break, #DianeAbbott remains the highest profile Black politician in the country – and the most bullied and disrespected.

Comments that she “should be shot” & for Diane’s voice to be left unheard as she stands up 46 times during PMQs in which she is discussed should leave us all with little question as to systemic racism and misogynoir within the political parties that claim to represent us all.

[Black Women's Forum UK @BLACKWOMENS]

We stand in solidarity with Diane Abbott @HackneyAbbott . The racist abuse and targeted harassment she has endured over the course of her career is disturbing, distressing and disgusting.

[Rightify Ghana @RightifyGhana]

Yesterday, protesters gathered at the Ghana High Commission in London to urge President Akufo-Addo to reject the anti-LGBTQ Bill

I don't know whose interests the Speaker thinks he is serving. But it is not the interests of the Commons or democracy.

[Palestine Festival of Literature @PalFest]

In support of South Africa’s historic ICJ case against Israel major actors have come together to read the case file.

Over the coming days we will present over 50 clauses of the comprehensive case South Africa lays out, charging Israel with genocide.
