How many times are grieving families going to have to beg people not to use their loved ones to fuel hate and division?

The mere suggestion that people of colour have ever had preferential treatment from the police would be laughable if it wasn’t laced with tragedy.

Shameful.

[Candi @candi4changeSW]

Henry Nowak should still be alive today. He had a whole life to live, dreams to achieve and memories to make.

His murder and the fact he died while begging police to help him is abhorrent, heartbreaking, and another failing of the police.

[Candi @candi4changeSW]

The tragic murder of a young man being used for political point-scoring and to peddle misinformation and harmful, tired narratives is shameful.

The anger being misdirected towards race and religion, instead of forces paid to protect that might have saved his life speaks volumes.

[Candi @candi4changeSW]

Shame on everyone salivating to justify the use of excessive force just the other week.

🚨Trigger warning: This video contains distressing footage of restraint.

The moment Yves Sakila, a 35-year-old Congolese man, was restrained in Dublin by several men for a number of minutes before becoming unresponsive and later dying.

His family are now calling for justice.

[Shanice 😈 🇯🇲 🇵🇸 @Shanice_OM]

Incredibly hard to watch. Extremely worrying 4/5 civilians felt empowered and emboldened enough to use such extreme force for so long despite him crying out and becoming unresponsive. This is precisely why it's vital we *always* scrutinise use of force.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: we are in the Black Panthers of times.

Organising with my local community action group, run by women from the global majority last night.

Hosted a powerful national session on radical resistance, rooted in our communities tonight.

Small glimmers of hope.

It’s us coming to save us.

Keir Starmer is a barefaced liar and if he had any decency, he would resign.

[Candi @candi4changeSW]

I am, once again, highlighting that it is not a flex to be “reasonable” and “tolerant” – especially for a country built on the backs of multiculturalism.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

We are a reasonable, tolerant, diverse, decent country.

That is the real Britain. The country I love and will fight for.

Streeting is bankrolled by private health-linked hedge fund magnate John Armitage.

Lobbyist Jonathan Mendelsohn funded Streeting whilst serving as a director at private healthcare firm the Europa Healthcare Group.

Peter Hearn gave £144,900 through 2 companies + £40k personally.

[Candi @candi4changeSW]

Disgraceful.

[Melissa Sigodo @melissasigodo]

A former paint maker who lost his 12-year career due to the Windrush scandal & lost his home as a result says after half a decade of fighting for compensation he has been awarded £1,147 for loss of employment by the Home Office scheme.

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: https://t.co/aMMHId49OO

Misan Harriman is a highly respected and influential
Black man.
He is being attacked by the Telegraph with smears.
His crime is to point out that the Golders Green attacker also attacked a Muslim man.
I stand with Misan.

[Candi @candi4changeSW]

An age-old issue of having a merry band of the privately educated, upheld by outdated systems.

It is offensive at this point to gaslight everyone by pretending the reason for losing 1000 seats is unknown or complicated.

Just take some accountability for once, @UKLabour.

[Candi @candi4changeSW]

Labour talking about the need for time and “thorough” consideration of what went wrong is truly laughable.

Because if you don’t know (when the nation is crying out), you shouldn’t be in a job.

The honest take is that you simply don’t care.

[Candi @candi4changeSW]

I have been shouting for years that trying to out-Reform Reform is a terrible strategy.

This was completely foreseeable and the sheer lack of accountability will only plummet the country into even more of a mess.

Do better.
