“Our diversity is our strength”. Absolutely🙌🏻

[Josh Babarinde OBE MP @JoshBabarinde]

Hate is not patriotic.

Hate is not British.

Hate is cowardly, deplorable and wrong.

Criminality, especially in the name of hate, must face the full force of the law.

Our diversity is our strength.

No racist can ever change that.

[Jess Smith @Jessica1Smith]

Just amazing!!🙌🏻

[Jess Smith @Jessica1Smith]

Social media is full of sadness and negativity at the moment.

So happy I saw this joy this morning on my run - a lovely little stall of local goodies!

@AnthonyAinsdale Lazy?

Happy holidays to all the teachers who can finally crack on with their house admin! First up, paint the shed 🌞 🪴

[Harriet Mcallister @hcat201]

Is there a school or library who would like a class set of these for free? They're in very good condition and we don't want them to go to waste! @Team_English1

.@England ⚽️ without migration 👇🏽

This is what the #England men’s team would look like without players born outside the UK or with at least one parent or grandparent born abroad.

The team would consist of three players.

More than 4 million people under 25 aren’t registered to vote.

If you’re fed up of being ignored by national politics do something about it: https://t.co/KTZjtu8UK9

🧵 People that say things like 'We pay for private school to give our child the best chance of a good education'.

How rude.

I went to state schools. I've worked in state schools since 2010. Our sons go to state schools.

State schools do amazing things on tight budgets.

A fab series highlighting the power of friendship!🫶🏻

[Tracey Bates @BatesyT84]

I am obsessed with them. Their kindness, their open love for each other and their friendship as young men is such a beautiful thing to see. I have never wanted anyone to win anything more #RaceAcrossTheWorld
