Statement of resignation from the Labour Party from Cllr Shaista Aziz, Cllr Amar Latif, Oxford City Council.

We stand in solidarity with the people of Israel and Palestine and call for and end to violence and the humanitarian crisis.

This cis woman—like me and others with PCOS hirsutism—spends time, $$$ removing full mustache+beard we naturally grow. Facial hair removal is a gender affirming process we do just like trans women to make our physical appearance match our gender identity.

Marc Lamont Hill puts every interviewer to shame by forcing Israels former Foreign Minister to admit that Israel is deliberately starving and bombing a captive civilian population to get what they want. A War Crime. Not one British journalist has done this

Clive Myrie give a compelling and insightful account of the true reason African-Caribbeans were invited to rebuild Britain

The racism invited African-Caribbeans experienced at the time and since has been institutional and systematic

It is imperative that the Met and govt don’t continue to disrupt the justice process that has begun, after Officer NX121 shot and killed Chris Kaba, an unarmed Black man.

Police officers are not above the law 🧵

Over 6 years after the Grenfell fire, the Social Housing Regulation Act is now law. This is the first step in the reform the sector sorely needs, and we thank everyone who has campaigned for these changes, and who continue to fight for better treatment of social housing tenants.

My 11yo daughter asked me a question, and I explained. I think she was also trying to get me to commiserate and complain about her dad with her, and I chose instead to help her understand him better. What’s your experience? How would you explain excessive frugality to a child?

🚨🚨 Get down to Westminster Magistrates court tomorrow Friday 14th July 10am to support a trans woman victimised by the Home Sec & police. Disgusting.

Racism was at the heart of my heavily pregnant daughter's death, mother alleges

Nicole Thea, a YouTube influencer, died three years ago when she was eight months pregnant from an underlying heart condition, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), which ran in her family - she'd previously raised concerns about her health but her mother claims she was dismissed. Her unborn son Reign also died.

According to the most recent data from a report by Mothers and Babies: Reducing Risk through Audits and Confidential Enquiries (MBRRACE-UK), Black and ethnic minority women can be around five to six times more likely to die in childbirth https://t.co/qa9iOlSMHk

Our care system - underfunded/ignored cos women are expected to take up slack unpaid no matter cost to their own lives/careers - is already on its knees w/ huge staff shortages. This is Tory priority? We need radical care overhaul & a new Govt to do it.

Look what we, BiBi Crew, got. Yep, a plague. It will be placed in the box office at Theatre Royal Stratford East. We are so honoured. @JanetKayMusic & Suzette Llewellyn couldn't make it, but they were repped as were our departed sisters #josephinemelville #joannecampbell

Can I end this nonsense now. Asylum seekers don’t arrive here and claim benefits or get keys to Social Housing.

They have no recourse to public funds until their asylum application is granted, which often takes years.

They live on about £37 per week.

75 years ago today, the Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury Docks in a symbolic moment for Britain

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

‘Potato King of The World’, Farmer, landowner and businessman, Junius G. Groves (1859-1925), was one of the wealthiest African Americans of the early 20th century.

Born enslaved in Green County, Kentucky, Groves was later liberated and joined other freedmen in the “Great Exodus” to Kansas in 1879, eventually finding work as a farmhand.
Impressed with his strong work ethic and production, Groves’ employer offered him nine acres of land to farm on shares. By 1884, he and his wife Matilda had saved enough to purchase 80 acres of land near Edwardsville, Kansas. So successful was their venture that, just four years later, they had acquired a total of 2,000 acres and replaced their one-room shanty with a 22-room mansion. Groves made a name for himself as a potato grower, producing as many as 721,500 bushels in one year – far and away more than any other farmer – and earning the title of “Potato King of the World.” He also operated a general store, maintained several orchards, and had investments in various mining and banking interests. Groves worked the farm until his death in 1925. He attributed his success to the endless hard work and devotion of his wife and 12 children.

Today we are marching. The number of women facing criminal investigation under Great Britain’s cruel and outdated abortion law is increasing. It is Time To Act.
