Lunch date with Governor Bill Haslam and First Lady Crissy Haslam. 🥰 Around this time two years ago this man of God ordered that I be released from prison. Forever grateful. 🙏🏽

The International Society of Women Judges are deeply concerned about the safety of their sister judges in Afghanistan ans have asked for all the publicity we can get asking the government for humanitarian support to protect them. Women judges are seen as an especial threat

[Steve Valdez-Symonds @stevesymondsAI]

There’s a lot to address. Ministers will continue to prefer not to. They will seek to obscure their failings & may fob of critical analysis with promises they will not or cannot keep. Ministers & others need holding to account, not enabled to further evade responsibility. 12/12

Telling the Taliban to protect human rights?!

Shared my deep concerns about the future for Afghanistan with FM Qureshi. Agreed it is critical that the international community is united in telling the Taliban that the violence must end and human rights must be protected.

We are fooling ourselves if we believe discrimination doesn't exist in Scotland.

I believe evidence we have proves our case beyond doubt. As well as reporting the nursery to Care Inspecorate we are also seeking legal advice.

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

I cannot tell you how angry I am. As a father all I want to do is protect my girls, yet aged 2 I believe my daughter has faced discrimination. If this had not happened to me I'm not sure I would have believed it could happen in 2021

How many other families has this happened to?

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

At this point we asked @anniebrownword at @Daily_Record to investigate. She created two profiles with kids same age, their requirements the same. "Aqsa Akhtar" application was rejected while "Susan Blake" was offered a choice of 4 afternoons.

No explanation has been forthcoming

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

I was sure there must be rational explanation but my wife felt differently. She created a profile with a White Scot name & made an application, she also asked her sister 'Sara Ahmed' to submit an application on same day. Her sister was rejected but White Scot application accepted

[Humza Yousaf @HumzaYousaf]

🧵Not a step my wife & I have taken lightly. After our nursery application for our daughter was refused a 2nd time, my wife asked her White Scottish friend to put in an application for a Child the same age. Within 24hrs of refusing our application my wife's friend's was accepted.

It's all very well shaking your head saying "this isn't us, this isn't England" at all the abuse. But evidently it IS a part of us, and until we acknowledge that and strive to make being a hateful bigot culturally unacceptable, it continues to be ALL of us.

[Joy @JoytotheBar]

One good thing about this loss: Yet again the racism, ingratitude, hostility & wickedness of many in this country is on full display. Anyone who says England isn’t a racist country simply can’t face truth & would rather embrace deception. Being black here can be 💔💔💔.

Will it still be ok to wear masks in banks after 19 July (asking for a client)?
