@BDCFT What does your flag at Saltaire represent? I've never seen it before! Thanks in advance! 😊

[ana @shivlestat]

the silence after saoirse’s “that’s what girls have to think about all the time” oh you just know they all felt stupid after that

@EE I’ve been trying to get in touch about an upgrade which I ordered over a week ago, and have been provided no tracking info, even though it was supposed to dispatch in 24hrs!

I attempted messaging on the app with no luck!

In Southport, Middlesbrough and Rotherham, residents from all walks of life joined together to repair the damage that had been wreaked by racist rioting. Money has been raised for shops that were looted, and the library that was burnt down.

There is a "we" in this country which is diverse, decent, and feels a sense of community. Perhaps you're just not a part of it, Isabel.

[James Foster @JamesEFoster]

Why hasn’t Parliament been recalled?

Surely this is a national crisis?

So the fascists and Nazis of Leeds have decided to run away.

They were significantly outnumbered by socialists, trade unionists, communists, and anti-fascists near Leeds Art Gallery.

Refugees are welcome here, fascists are not ✊️

I will never back down in speaking truth to power.

The apartheid government of Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. Palestinians will not be erased. Solidarity with all those outside of these walls in the streets protesting and exercising their right to dissent.

[Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire @MayorOfWY]

Far too many women have been on the receiving end of harassment, abuse and violence for far too long.

With violence against women and girls declared a ‘National Emergency’, we need our male allies to stand up and call out troubling behaviour when they see it.

Warning for violent, distressing content.

I don't know what the context of this video is. But what i do know is that there isn't a context which justifies police kicking someone in the head when they're *already* on the ground, with their arms by their sides, after being Tasered.

[Ash Sarkar @AyoCaesar]

That feeling when your party voted to keep kids in poverty 😜🤘

[Poppy Winks @Poppy_Elizabeth]

This isn't giving me hope that anything is going to change...

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

I have been informed by the Chief Whip & the Labour Party leadership that the whip has been withdrawn from me for voting to scrap the two-child benefit cap, which would lift 330,000 children out of poverty.

I will always stand up for the most vulnerable in our society.

"Please follow the instructions carefully. Are you ready to proceed...?"

Receiving its world premiere, @bennobuto's Hallelujah Sim. takes its cue from the 'Hallelujahs' of Bruckner's Psalm-setting, combining electronics with choir & orchestra.

Today, Gabi and Lily, along with Mr Lambert and Miss Winks, went to Leeds Civic Hall to collect the @SchsofSanctuary award on behalf of @woodhouse_grove! We love that boarders, and boarding staff, get to be involved in making The Grove a welcoming place of safety for all.

It’s #PrideMonth!! 🏳️‍🌈 So, Miller is looking suitably bright and colourful!

As of 1 April, 28 children have died of malnutrition and dehydration, according to the Ministry of Health in #Gaza.
In the north, the Nutrition Cluster estimates that more than 50,000 children under five are acutely malnourished.

[Momentum 🌹 @PeoplesMomentum]

Labour should not be fundraising off of racist Tory abuse towards Diane, while ignoring her calls to have the whip restored, and address the party's failures on the Forde Report.

She isn't even mentioned in the email.

Do better. Restore the whip.

[Anthony Walker Foundation @awf_liverpool]

Not just as an Anti-Racism organisation, or a charity that supports victims of Hate Crime, but as decent human beings, we stand with Dianne Abbott. Be strong Dianne, in the face of adversity, hate, racism and misogyny. There are many people by your side.

To Rishi Sunak, Mel Stride, Lord Marland, and anyone else who has chosen to remain silent, your lack of action plays a part in the harm done to another human. This silence not only normalises but also legitimises the widespread structural, institutional, and personal racism that profoundly harms our society.

Language matters! Words have the power to incite hatred and tragically lead to loss of life, as sadly was the case with Anthony Walker.

To Frank Hester, the content and tone of your recent comments, followed by your apology, reveal a clear misunderstanding of racism and its far-reaching effects. This may partly stem from the guidance you have received. Your advisors have failed you and the people who work for you.

In the spirit of moving forward and making the world a better place, we offer an open invitation for dialogue. We hope that Frank and his team will grasp this opportunity to enrich their understanding of racism and its consequences. This is a vital first step towards creating a safer and more inclusive community for everyone.
