These riots started in Parliament.

Rioters chant “stop the boats” and “we want our country back” - using language from politicians across the political spectrum.

It’s not enough to call out violence, politicians need to stop normalising hate. In policy and practice.

Good stuff here from @TessaDiphoorn and @Naomi2908 in @TC_Africa on state violence and policing in Kenya, in the midst of ongoing repression of protests around #RejectFinanceBill2024

My thoughts are with Goldsmiths colleagues this weekend who are waiting to find out who will receive redundancy notices on Monday. Please share - on why this matters to anyone who believes in the transformative power of education.
