NEW on Wonkhe: Girls have been ignored in the debate on the white working class and higher education, argues Jessica Benson-Egglenton https://t.co/yCRBmCaa2c

And there are lots of shit things about living in London, but the best things about it - the diversity, the cosmopolitanism, the acceptance of difference - are not things I'm going to be made to feel ashamed of. It would be better if more places in the country were like that.

🚨 20 fire engines on the scene of a fire at New Providence Wharf in East London this morning.

The building’s still covered in ACM cladding - the same type as was on Grenfell. Awaiting updates. @LBC

Crushing defeat for Labour in Hartlepool. Not possible to blame Jeremy Corbyn for this result. Labour won the seat twice under his leadership. Keir Starmer must think again about his strategy #HartlepoolByElection

No words to say, thoughts are with his family and loved ones 🖤

Today marks the 43rd anniversary of the racist murder of #AltabAli It was a watershed moment for race relations in east London. It also galvanised the Bangladeshi community into political action. #NeverForget #SocialJustice https://t.co/3fpbMxeoYU

It takes a special kind of person to watch a Conservative government preside over 140,000 UK Covid deaths, while other island nations like Japan and Australia didn't even reach 14,000 COMBINED...

And think: "You know what? I'm still gonna #VoteConservative".

Here is hoping that everybody who gets so angry about disrespecting the statues of slave traders will be equally vocal about the tens of thousands of black & Asian soldiers who fought for this country in the war but were not commemorated at all.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The jury's verdict delivers accountability for Derek Chauvin, but not justice for George Floyd. Real justice for him and too many others can only happen when we build a nation that fundamentally respects the human dignity of every person.

[Halima Begum PhD @Halima_Begum]

Wow! The @UN just launched a seismic assault on the #Sewell report & called on UKGov to reject it out of hand: "It is stunning to read a report that repackages racist tropes into fact, twisting data and misapplying stats into findings and attacks." #BLM https://t.co/gGP0rJWH9q

[ACLU @ACLU]

This week anti-trans bills moved forward in:
▪️ Alabama
▪️ Arkansas
▪️ Arizona
▪️ Florida
▪️ North Dakota
▪️ Texas

This is an assault on our bodies and our lives.

The Prime Minister is an embarassment.

He's promising an "independent review". The review is being led by a bloke who lobbied against any changes to lobbying rules and helped the Treasury design the loan scheme that David Cameron was lobbying to get cash from. #PMQs

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

Every day the sleaze at the heart of the @Conservatives government becomes more obvious.

We need a full, transparent parliamentary inquiry so we can clean up the repugnant lobbying.

[Alex Stevens @ProfAlexStevens]

In discussing the link between race, crime and violent victimisation, the Commission write that age and deprivation explains much of the difference between ethnic groups. The cited report actually shows the disparity is not washed away by deprivation. https://t.co/NlQidlIZYh

Apropos nothing, I just want to note that I am paid, both at my own institution and by others, to judge work to see if it is worthy of a PhD.

The Sewell Report, merely at the level of writing, never mind content, would be an outright fail.
