So proud to have been able to write and narrate @SpursOfficial and @SpursWomen's Black history.

Here's to another 114 years of excellence!

We are Black & Lilywhite.
Spurred on by our history.

This is our story.

Moments that will live forever 🏆

[Husam Zomlot @hzomlot]

Palestinians do not just die. Israel bombed the home of my friend Chevening alumnus Maisara Al Rayyes, killing him and his family. This statement from @CheveningFCDO is unacceptable. Palestinians are killed. And not just in last month but over 75 years of oppression, ethnic cleansing, occupation and murder. Enough of playing with words to avoid holding the perpetrators of mass murder and crimes against humanity to account.

@SpursREACH x @SpursOfficial bring you

Our Club has a rich history of black players, coaches & managers & we celebrate the incredible achievements & integral contribution made by these individuals to football & society amid all the barriers they have faced!!

[David Osei @dk_osei]

Watching the BBC, Sky, ITV, CNN, you'd think this terror started last week. Thank you @ajplus & @AJEnglish for consistently providing crucial historical context.

Understanding how Israel was created gives a terrifying insight into what they'll do next.

I'm really excited to take to the #TEDxNHS stage to lend my voice to the many who struggle to communicate effectively in English.

This topic is close to my heart, and I hope my talk provokes behaviour change from both practitioners and patients.

@ehoque007 @HalimaNyomi @ApsanaBegumMP Hi @ehoque007, would you mind connecting me to this wonderful woman, please? I'd love her insights for a TEDx talk I'm co-developing on the language barrier in maternal healthcare provision.

(And thanks for posting, @HalimaNyomi!)

[David Osei @dk_osei]

@ramlaali Awww, this is truly wonderful news, Ramla! And props to Richard - a good husband is also like a "manger"; something that nourishes you.

(Now I just need to start hanging around SOAS again in case she shoots a scene there.) 😅

[David Osei @dk_osei]

@Rmannoh Thank you! Right as rain, now. 🌧️

The state of this country is a reflection of the useless leaders we repeatedly choose (or have imposed on us). Stop choosing idiots, lest ye be an idiot too.

As it happens, I'm reading #UsAgainstYou by the wonderful Fredrik Backman. This paragraph resonates...

[David Osei @dk_osei]

...settled in my big toe and now we both share that pain. So if anyone asks me if know that pain, I will confidentally answer yes, point to my foot, and declare 'Big toe, April 2023'.

[David Osei @dk_osei]

7) Ever had a dislocated toe forcefully yanked back into place? I haven't. Except I kinda now have.

I was initially sharing a room with an uncle who had his hoiked back into its socket. The screams he screamed at the pitch he pitched in the tone he toned, it entered my body...

[David Osei @dk_osei]

Very proud to be part of the @SpursREACH team behind this wonderful first-of-its-kind gathering!

[Tottenham Hotspur @SpursOfficial]

Last night the Club hosted its first ever Ramadan Iftar with @SpursREACH at @SpursStadium, attended by special guests @Danjuma and @LedleyKing 💙

[David Osei @dk_osei]

So, let me get this straight, the UK has a new prime minister who was chosen without a single vote cast? Not the electorate, not the party membership, not even the MPs... but we stay preaching about democracy around the world?
