This week I’ve re-started my TV column after a long break, and I’ve kicked off with “Ludwig”. Ripped it apart, obv.

[Runnymede Trust @RunnymedeTrust]

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.

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

Let’s not be classist/ableist when condemning far-right riots.

Racism isn’t a “working class trait”. It’s woven into the fabric of our society and comes from the top. One of the few things that has trickled down.

But it doesn’t have to be this way - we can build a better world.

[Nancy Kerr & James Fagan @kerrfagan]

Happy Brigg Fair Day! “It was on the fifth of August” sang the great Joseph Taylor - here is Nancy’s song celebrating him and his magnificent singing.
