@Zehra_Zaidi It’s a huge credit to both you and @ppvernon that together you put *principle* - of representation on #banknotesofcolour - above competition, and got such strong support from across parties and communities. Sad @bankofengland diverted from that public support.
Reminded of #BanknotesOfColour campaign & abuse I got for campaigning for WWII heroine Noor Inayat Khan QC as a face for new £50 note. Then being held as homophobic by those who wanted Turing. Even though we had supported Turing as a name to the Bank of England
@iglobal_news @WeTooBB @PreetKGillMP @TomTugendhat Thank you for your continued support and coverage of our #BanknotesofColour and @WeTooBB campaigns. It truly is appreciated. And aren’t these two MPs in Preet and Tom super super amazing?
@Zehra_Zaidi Thanks Zehra, working with you on #banknotesofcolour was fantastic, despite the challenges, I’m so glad to have written about the campaign here
Stealing the work of the #banknotesofcolour campaigners to claim as their own work, as highlighted in the #racecommission report, is a disgrace 🤬👇👇👇
You fucking kidding me? This is straight up erasing the years of work @WeTooBB. I know the people who have tirelessly campaigned for #banknotesofcolour and the 'West India Committee' ain't it! The putative education material is dodgy AF too

I will be on @itvnews @itn_news 6pm tonight talking about #BankNotesofcolour campaign where my co campaigner @Zehra_Zaidi and I had support from 150k people who sign our petition & cross party support of over 250 MPs and Peers. We still need BAME on bank notes @bankofengland
Great to see the Turing £50 note. Cannot wait to see this in circulation.
Before we go completely cashless, would be great to commit to one final physical banknote & 1st ever ethnic minority face on its banknotes, esp post BOE commitments post Black Lives Matter @ppvernon
@ppvernon @RoyalMintUK @hmtreasury @bankofengland @seacolestatue @MendoncaPen @billypeterssonn @ProfSunnySingh @sundersays @susiesymes1 @100blackbritons @RoyalMintUK will have a set of coins, let's hope @bankofengland @BoE_PressOffice commits to #BanknotesOfColour campaign. We have engaged and told the senior team our arguments. A year later with #BLM movement, it apologised for slavery & committed to diversity so there is hope.
Exactly. Long overdue! #banknotesofcolour
Great news that Harriet Tubman will be on $20 bill.Time for Mary Seacole on next coin or bank @RoyalMintUK @hmtreasury @bankofengland note @seacolestatue @Zehra_Zaidi

This video produced by the amazing @ZabMustefa was my favorite throughout our 3 year #BanknotesofColour #WeTooBuiltBritain campaign. To save & build on, @shrabanibasu_ @ppvernon @billypeterssonn @ProfSunnySingh @KateWilliamsme @MendoncaPen @susiesymes1 @seacolestatue @sundersays
Noor Inayat Khan was a World War II hero who refused to disclose information to the Nazis.
And now she could be the first Muslim to appear on a British bank note.
Huge congratulations to @Zehra_Zaidi @ppvernon + all those who have campaigned for years/decades for greater representation #banknotesofcolour #wetoobb New 50p coin celebrating Britain's diversity unveiled - Voice Online https://t.co/OJTuKmdx0M

@Zehra_Zaidi @heftyhorse @RoryGreenfield Thanks so much Zehra! Your success with #BanknotesOfColour is just a bit (a lot) more impressive than this, but I'm glad my music brought you some happiness! :)
Today delighted to join Lady Kishwar Desai (Trustee of Gandhi Memorial Trust), Shrabani Basu (Sunday Times best selling author)
Zehra Zaidi (Humanitarian & driving force behind #BankNotesOfColour) on History in the Modern Era’ with
Malavika Banerjee @bengalhf @inBritish
“Early last year #BanknotesOfColour called for ethnic minority representation on the new £50 note, candidates [included] Crimean war nurse Mary Seacole & Muslim wireless operator Noor Inayat Khan” @Zehra_Zaidi @ppvernon https://t.co/REJF3BcnDe
Hope lessons will be learned from last year @RishiSunak build on #BanknotesOfColour & existing campaigns for racially minoritized leaders on legal tender. Time for #publicengagement #coproduction #codesign @Zehra_Zaidi @ppvernon @susiesymes1 @ProfSunnySingh @sundersays
A lesson in how not to do public engagement @bankofengland A missed opportunity at a crucial moment in Britain's history. Huge respect to @Zehra_Zaidi @ppvernon and all the thousands who called for BAME representation on the new £50 note @HelenGrantMP
