This morning, youth campaigners from #LostLessons hand delivered a 'report card' for @bphillipsonMPas at the @educationgovukpart as part of their Teach-In, demanding we "tackle the rise of the far-right in the UK" by "recovering the lost lessons" of an anti-racist curriculum!!
@airfrance is aiding the cruelty of the British and French governments in their barbaric deportation deal on multiple flights next week. Call them on +44 207 660 0337 and tell them to refuse to fly https://t.co/PqV5WHvNfa

The community alternatives to policing are being put to decision makers in GM but they don't want to hear it.
Only by building community power will we be able to care for our communities in Greater Manchester.
The @greatermcr Police and Crime panel met a few weeks ago.
It was a cosy meetup to say the least.
The new normal for GMP is more of the same and we know that policing is rotten to the core.
Here's what you need to know from that meeting:

There were, indeed, rivers of blood after Enoch Powell made his speech.
The blood of Gurdip Singh Chaggar. Altab Ali. Stephen Lawrence.
Between 1976-1985, there were 35 racist murders in the UK.
Racist violence doesn't occur in a vacuum; it is enabled by rhetoric from the top.
Was a privilege to be at the launch for this.
The tenacity and perseverance of these families are unmatched.
Many are unsung heroes who have worked for years to hold the most powerful to account.
Now they're escalating their campaign.

Marianne Jean-Baptiste best win the BAFTA and the Oscars people should be ashamed of themselves for not nominating her.
Marianne's (and Michele's!!) house should be full of prizes.
At the tail end of a long awards season, 57-year-old actor Marianne Jean-Baptiste joined us to discuss her career-best work in Mike Leigh's "Hard Truths" and, of course, that Oscars snub 🎥

NPMP has shown what that money could do instead.
Housing for people, youth centres, school counsellors.
Every yr the consultation shows communities don't support this. Will you ever listen or are you going to pretend that this money will fix hate crime?We can show you the facts
@AndyBurnhamGM I worked with you on buses in GM.
You say that we do things differently here but why are you advocating for more money to the police when they fail every day?
13 mil to a service that sexually assaults people, that has been found to do traumatising strip searches
We're here today demanding that @greatermcr cllrs reject a 13 mil increase to GM police funding.
@AndyBurnhamGM every year the response from communities is the same. We want our money to go to housing, million youth centres,public services, not police-why do you keep doing this?
Every year since NPMP started monitoring in 2021, communities say they don't want increases in police funding.
Yet @greatermcr is proposing a £13.1 MILLION BOOST to GMP and is is freezing money for all public services this year.
👇 What £13 mil could be used on + how we resist.
Money that could be better spent on communities.
Here's why the public in Greater Manchester will continue to resist increases in police funding.

Privatised train operators are gorging themselves on one final pre-nationalisation dividends bonanza.
However, the railway fat-cats aren't happy.
They want to keep their noses in the trough.

Please come to the courts this week. For as little or as much as you can be. Let’s be there in solidarity as community watching what happens in these two days.
We, the families of the End Police Pursuits campaign send our deepest condolences, solidarity and rage to the family and loved ones of the young person who was killed following GMP pursuit on Tuesday 3rd December.
It is absolutely devastating news to hear
The policing specifically targeting Roma Gypsy and Traveller community members yesterday at the Arndale, Christmas Markets, and Victoria Rail station is another example of GMP racism, harm and harassment. People are rightly outraged, but none of us should be surprised. We have

So many of us still wake each morning, cry at videos and feel broken by the genocide we bear witness to. I can’t (but can) comprehend that while that is almost bleakly routine, there are people, mostly in government, who feel nothing. Not a shred of heartache. I hate them for it.
