Black Lions showed us Black isn’t just beautiful. It’s necessary

In a time of so much political uncertainty our Black players offered us inspiration and perhaps, dare I say it, reminded us that another world is possible.

The death of Yves Sakila in late May, sent shockwaves through Ireland’s Black community amid far right pogroms and more race riots.

The campaign for justice is ongoing. Those on the ground say racism killed Sakila @TheVoiceNews

Black mothers said they weren’t being listened to. Now a major inquiry proves they were right

A landmark government-led national investigation has found that racism and structural inequalities are embedded across England's maternity system, putting Black mothers and babies at greater risk

My family and I are exposed to all sorts of threats, restrictions and hateful rethoric.

Yet we would say and do everything we have said and done against the genocide, its ideologues and profiteers, again and again.

Forever proud to stand on the side of Justice.

"I don't back away from the original decision. I think it gave 20 or so million people in Iraq hope of a better life and you just cannot walk away from that truth"

—Andy Burnham in 2010

By this time, a million Iraqis had been killed by the criminal British invasion he supported

"I'd be proud to follow Tony Blair's lead," he continued

This is grotesque. Starmer's regime was and is a threat to basic civil liberties in the UK. Now just saying the quiet part out loud that they've gutted protest rights because they treat anti-genocide protests as antisemitic. The damage they've done to UK democracy and community relations is extraordinary.

[The Voice Newspaper @TheVoiceNews]

"Furthermore, in recent years I’ve grown increasingly uncomfortable at how the government are happy to snap pictures with our communities and talk about ‘diversity’ being Britain’s strength while failing to face-down and tackle some of the fascistic forces of our time."

"I don’t want Windrush celebrations, I want justice"

The recent Windrush Day celebrations ring hollow while Black communities continue to face inequality, injustice and the lasting impact of government failures says @richardsudan

"Racism in the UK is not and has never been fringe.

"It’s structural and baked into the DNA of Britain manifested in each and every institution.  It’s been part and parcel of the British system and Black people’s lived experience from the start"

[Damian Low @DamianLow3]

Yaxley Lennon, Farage, Lowe and others, hang your heads in shame.

An immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home after saved her uniform so she could still work.

Do you feel proud?

Belfast wasn’t just ‘unrest’: it was racist vigilante violence that’s becoming dangerously normalised

Recent rioting in the city highlights how far-right violence is becoming more open, organised, and tolerated amid the failure of political leaders to properly confront it.

If this is how they treat Europeans under the full glare of the media spotlight, can you imagine how they brutalise Palestinians who are in their jails - some of them children - who are hidden away from cameras.

[Martin Shaw @martinshawx]

Sky's @cathynewman: 'The word genocide is disputed' - Not by genocide scholars.
'It has nothing to do with the Labour leadership' - It has *everything* to do with what Labour has done in the last two years, and what Andy Burnham (or any other contender) has to put right.
Well done, @LauraPidcock.

[Alan Lester @aljhlester]

One thing worth noting about these attempts to block reparative gestures, let alone concrete measures, for Western complicity in slavery: it’s always about the slave trade in which Africans were complicit, never about the Atlantic plantations & their pioneering racial capitalism.
