Absolutely astonishing that there has been a two day racist pogrom in Northern Ireland and @Keir_Starmer hasn’t called a COBRA meeting.
QWHITE revealing!
For the first time, I am with President Suluhu on this. Why should she be forced to speak their language? Russia uses its own language, so she would need a translator anyway. Shouldn't she speak Swahili instead, forcing them to need a translator too?
London must not host a property fair selling land in illegal Israeli settlements. The “Great Israeli Real Estate” event promotes the sale of land in occupied Palestinian territory. It is normalising annexation, displacement and ethnic cleansing.
This Event Must be Cancelled!
Owen Jones: Racists now think they're legitimate.
Because Farage gave them a script. Tommy gave them a signal. Musk gave them a platform.
Now Belfast burns. And they're acting surprised.
Don't be. 🎯🔥
In Belfast..
- We saw pogroms - targeting black and brown people
- These are riots not protests
- It’s criminal acts not an expression of legitimate concerns
- These are student nurses presumably doing NHS placements
Language matters: stop sanitising what we are witnessing.

Trying to imagine the response from the British political class if it was another minority faith community who were locked inside their place of worship as bigots threatened them.
But it’s Muslims… so… who cares!
@yupya12@PaulGosling1 I am a legal migrant from NY. I was advised to leave my office early last night, to avoid walking home in Belfast alone, and today I was advised not to leave my home + all mtgs cancelled.
Why? Because I am Black. It was never about legal/unlawful immigration (which is falling!).
@AfricanHub_ No, it means South Africa has failed itself by losing African solidarity. South Africa is becoming an ungrateful partner that forgets all your care, support and love when they were struggling. But, once they think they’re on their feet a bit, they think you’re nothing to them.
@afuahirsch@misanharriman@zeteo_news Those critics of Afua Hirsch should ask themselves why British newspaper and their online news sales are in decline and, why even the BBC is seen by many as non reliable news outlet?
It's easy to critique a broken media, harder to fix it.
Very proud to be among some of the best journalists in the UK joining @zeteo_news new Zeteo UK. Creating the change we want to see

Andy Burnham says he wants a change in direction from this Labour government.
He can prove it: by backing a public inquiry into the British government's complicity in genocide.

🇦🇱 | After days of fierce protests and armed clashes, the Albanian government has announced it is halting all work on Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s controversial project.
Crowds are refusing to leave the streets until the entire project is permanently canceled.
Kevin Maguire: "After the attack on the Liverpool football parade & it was a white guy, middle class, former royal marine, no-one went after other white, middle class former marines & set this person represents that entire group"
@ZiaYusufUK Yes, for example, the culture of being your neighbours keeper is better than the culture of division and sowing hatred like some of your Reform Party members and far-right thugs do.
Within hours of Kemi Badenoch proclaiming Britain to be "the least racist society on earth", entirely innocent Black and Brown people were subject to violent racist riots. Yet again.
As ethnic minorities, we cannot afford to be silent in these times.
@ianrich15813274 It doesn’t matter to them because it’s not happening to them. But, sooner or later they’ll realise why it should have mattered to them.
The ‘Great Israeli Real Estate Event’ is to be held in London this Sunday.
This disgraceful event will involve the sale of land stolen from Palestinians in illegal Israeli settlements.
Today, I called for the Government to ban this event.
