Sky news, "You've never been on one of these anti racist marches?"

Couple from Kingston, "We've been horrified by what's going on.. We believe the riots don't represent what the vast majority of people in this country feel.. We want everyone in this country to feel welcome no matter where they're from or who they are.. The thought of people feeling scared to walk out their front door horrifies us"

"We have a lot of problems in this country and they're not down to immigration" @AntiRacismDay

Just look at this. Walthamstow, you make my heart sing. Hope not hate. Love not violence. We have more in common 🩷

[Billy Bragg @billybragg]

The spirit of Cable Street has been manifested across our country tonight. All over England people from different creeds and communities have come together to send a message to the racists: No Pasaran!

Tonight, the Far Right will attempt to intimidate and goad communities into violence - especially people of colour.

Their aim: to feed their hateful narratives and present themselves as victims.

Please don’t let them win the propaganda war.

Months before he died of cancer, Don Anderson gave his daughter, Lola, a note.

It was a diary entry Lola had thrown away as a child which said her dream was to win Olympic rowing gold. Her dad had kept it.

She's got her gold medal ❤️

This report brought tears to my eyes: the people of Southport: children, locals sweeping up around the mosque, shaking hands with mosque members, bringing balm after far right vandalism and riots. They are a stick in the eye of those seeking division. This is what community is.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

"I really want you to focus on the fact that there are children today, alive, because of what you did yesterday"

Keir Starmer thanks the emergency service workers who responded to the Southport stabbings

Thank you to all of our emergency service workers 🙏

Whatever Kuenssberg can do, Victoria Derbyshire can do better.

Victoria Derbyshire to replace Laura Kuenssberg on the BBC?

RT if you agree.

What a truly revolting thing to say���..

Watching Kamala Harris speaking in Wisconsin …

By hell she’s impressive - and she’s going to win … she’s energising the young voters and has no fear of the fight

“President Kamala Harris”

Trump seems like yesterday’s man now 👍🏼

Newly elected members of the French parliament refusing to shake hands with the far right is extremely satisfying. A particular shout out to the rock paper scissors gag.

Not only was Graham Taylor trending yesterday, but the BBC also did this wonderful little tribute to him after their highlights late last night - just wait for that smile at the end.

A ghost so satisfactorily laid to rest.

Now go and win it lads. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

There is football tonight but much more importantly there is @HuntyCaller and family to keep in your thoughts and hearts and prayers.

This appointment has made me very happy. @jessphillips will make a difference. And that’s the point.

I asked @Keir_Starmer about Saka’s goal in Eng v Sui on plane: “That was classic Bukayo cuts in from the right & that shot is absolutely classic �� inside of the post – I’ve seen it so many times. And I’d remind you, England have not missed a penalty under a Labour govt in 2024”
