๐จ WATCH: Independent MP Ayoub Khan says rubbish is "building right beneath my very nose" as he looks down at the Reform MPs sitting below him
"It's becoming a serious problem in Birmingham"

If I had to distill the top 3 myths being aired again & again to block a conversation on reparations it would be these:
Myth 1: That Britain abolished slavery around the world. Fact: Britainโs limited abolition was accompanied by the continued coercion of Black & Brown people to supply unpaid labour across the Empire.
@jucytaff@ashton_hewitt The only difference is this woman is having her Britishness called into question by โDr Dโ. This would not happen with a white candidate flag or no flag and you know it, but you are making excuses for his racism rather than call it what it is. We see you John ๐๐ป
@jucytaff@ashton_hewitt So John, when all those MPs and celebs were adding the Ukrainian flag to everything to show solidarity with that struggle, was that either distancing themselves from anyone or prevent them focussing on local issues????
Today is Windrush Day.
Thank you to my Nan, all of the aunties, uncles, and a whole generation that not only shaped who I am but have inspired this country in so many ways ๐ค๐ฏ๐ฒ
