Firstly, Happy #WindrushDay
Today we celebrate people from The Caribbean who were invited to rebuild Britain after World War II.
DO NOT forget those who are STILL waiting for compensation after being wrongfully treated like illegal immigrants by the Home Office.

78 years ago on 21 Jun 1948 HMT Empire Windrush docked at the Port of Tilbury, near London, and the 1,027 passengers, including 802 West Indians, began disembarking the next day. Just under 500,000 left the #Caribbean, including 200,000 #Jamaicans, to settle in the UK during the twenty-one years 1948-70, seeking to improve their lives, encouraged as British subjects to help rebuild the “Mother Country” after the destruction of the Second World War. They did their part, lest we forget. #WindrushDay #Jamaica

I congratulate the University of Ghana’s School of Performing Arts for that masterful reenactment of the transatlantic enslavement at the Osu Castle during the Next Steps Juneteenth commemoration.
Their brilliant performance is receiving wide international acclaim with invitations already pouring in from multiple countries including Barbados, Jamaica and the US.
Really proud of Ghana’s outstanding diverse talents.
May I wish all our hardworking and caring men a Happy Father’s Day.
Over 200,000 #Jamaicans settled in Britain 1948-68; 21 years following arrival of Empire Windrush; seeking to improve their lives; encouraged as subjects, not immigrants, of the British Empire to help rebuild the “Mother Country” after WW2. They did their part, lest we forget. #Windrush

Today 22 June is a reminder of the Windrush Generation’s contribution to the UK and the ongoing call for justice for what they endured. Remember the contribution. Continue the repair. #ReparatoryJustice#SocialJustice#repair#reparations
Today is Windrush Day. 🖤
A day for us to pause, reflect and honour those from the Windrush Generation who paved the way for us all.
We owe them more than a moment of recognition.
We owe them our pride, our gratitude, and our promise — that their story will never be erased again.
We owe them everything.🖤

In Accra, Ghana, at the Juneteenth commemoration and the High-Level Conference on reparatory justice, I reflected on why this moment must matter to every child of Africa, whether in Bridgetown, Kingston, Accra, Port of Spain, Lagos, New York or Bahia.
We must not allow language, geography, passport, party or generation to divide a people whose story is connected. The debt of history is still being paid in the currency of our children’s future, in development gaps, in climate vulnerability, in the cost of finance, in stolen culture and in opportunities delayed.
Reparatory justice is therefore about repair, yes, but also about the world we now choose to build. One rooted in truth. One rooted in dignity. One that allows Africa and its diaspora to speak with one voice.
One people. One purpose.
Join us at this event where we will analyse a debate on 'The West Should Pay Reparations for Slavery' on Saturday 6 June 2026 at 11:00 GMT at The Black Cultural Centre Islington. More info + to book, go to https://t.co/HKpOKZmc7U #reparations
