🚨.@Keir_Starmer@DavidLammy, stronger action is needed NOW:
The UK must suspend ALL arms exports to the Government of Israel & close loopholes for components in F-35 fighter jets.

🚨ACTION ALERT 🚨
We are calling on the Home Office to immediately suspend all in-person immigration reporting and all other appointments, on account of the overwhelming fear of violent racist attacks in our communities.

With 80 anti-racist and migrant rights organisations, we've written to @Keir_Starmer asking for Parliament to be recalled to address the scale of this crisis.
The new govt must change the dial, and foster zero tolerance for far-right, racist and anti-migrant narratives.
Our thoughts and solidarity are with Muslim communities and people of colour affected by the recent racist violence across the UK.
We stand against all forms of racism, and are committed to supporting those impacted and working towards a more inclusive and just society.
This is unacceptable & deeply uncomfortable viewing. An entire white panel questioning a brown woman like a suspect. Ed Balls and Kate have left their homes this morning with no fear. Zarah and every other brown/black person left knowing they are a target
Stand Up to Racism has organised protests to oppose the far right across the country this weekend✊🏽
But with racist attacks & fascists on the streets, there is an urgent task to build the antiracist fightback

If we are at the point where the police have lost control and a lynch mob has broken into a hotel housing people and likely children seeking asylum then, I’m sorry, but it’s time to deploy the army. This is a domestic terror threat.
Racist gangs have set alight the hostel where terrified migrants are huddled and are now storming it.
This is a joint enterprise to commit murder. Those involved aren’t just these thugs but the politicians & media outlets that have normalised racism.
If you're wondering why camps like this one (under my office window) are still there, read this morning's article in @guardian about children in Gaza and weapons designed to spray tiny shrapnel:

Israel’s forces have systematically destroyed the health infrastructure, the food infrastructure, the water infrastructure, the education infrastructure, the journalism infrastructure, the cultural infrastructure, the administrative infrastructure, the archive infrastructure.
💜💚💜 Congratulations to all the 263 women MPs in our new parliament. You now make up 40.46% of MPs. Significant progress on 35% before. Some sadly not returning, but we are retaining & gaining many, many more. Onwards and upwards. @CentenaryAction@fawcettsociety#SheVotes24
@SkyNews@BBCNews@Channel4News@itvnews you must uphold the journalistic principle of FAIRNESS in your coverage of the Green, Independent and Reform wins and in your political coverage going forwards.
In case you need any further persuasion to vote Green in #Brighton tomorrow, here’s the fabulous @mrmarksteel giving you the benefit of his insights into the democratic process 😀 @sianberry
Many of us in #globaldev have worried about patronising & necolonial storytelling INGOs. Hence the need for the likes of #Pledgeforchange.
So imagine my goosebumps when I saw this @oxfamgb video at #Glastonbury2024
Truly inspiring campaigning based on solidarity & mutuality
Hostile environment policies continue haunt undocumented elders who emigrated to the UK as British subjects. Imagine facing homelessness at 89 because the Home Office can’t verify your identity even though you’ve been resident in the UK since 1960?
