Heartwarming and heartbreaking to watch. The grace and absolute loyalty in which @HackneyAbbott exudes and serves is astounding. However, the house and Labour are far from representatives, with Black women STILL not having an equal voice. Can't rejoin the Labour Party until....

Black kids are 4 times more likely to be strip-searched by police officers across England & Wales than their white counterparts. Black people get a police force, white people get a service.
Institutional racism exists in not only the Met police… https://t.co/cbuMR55W6Q
TW: The family of 19yo Stephanie Marie who was found stabbed to death in a car park at Crawley train station on Sunday, have paid tribute to a "much-loved daughter, sister & mother". Jason Pascal Flore, 26, has been charged with her murder. RIP Stephanie Marie 🙏🏾
Shocking display of malicious prosecution & abuse of prosecutorial power by the @metpoliceuk & CPS this morning. Met Police arresting peaceful protesters is disgraceful.
They will say they listen but they NEVER do. Just roll out money on appearing to CRACK down rather than empower community orgs to actually do the outreach to improve things
The outcomes of inquiries into these terrible disasters should have been treated as lessons learnt, compensation made, and a determination to ensure never again.
They still can.
Grenfell families demand next PM ensures public inquiry findings are acted on

Don't let the Labour party take the Black vote for granted. After #Gaza I had decided not to vote for them for the 1st time but #DianneAbbott is the icing on the cake. Malcolm warned us whether you trust the Wolf (Tories) or the Fox (Labour) you 'still end up in the doghouse'
Met Police to pay millions to young Black man left paralysed when they Tasered him.
Jordan Walker-Brown, 27, was left paralysed from the chest down after he was Tasered while running away from police who incorrectly believed he might have had a knife. https://t.co/3qaDHQLDhD
“Black women do not get to make light of the wet or gafffe-making, impulsive remarks or off-colour comments. They do not get to have bad days.” Six years old but wearily relevant. https://t.co/IfrLrEa488
It took a judge's ruling to keep a man born here in the country. Against the efforts of the Home Office.
Shockingly, people born in this country do not have an automatic right to live here. They should.
