A former paint maker who lost his 12-year career due to the Windrush scandal & lost his home as a result says after half a decade of fighting for compensation he has been awarded ยฃ1,147 for loss of employment by the Home Office scheme.
The UK is such a scary place for Black women & excusing incidents like this will make it so much worse. Do you know how hard it is currently to report racism in the workplace without being made to look mad? Do they understand the excuses theyโve given companies for years?!
๐จ NEW: Labour has reportedly offered to restore the whip to Diane Abbott... but only if she stands down from Parliament and doesn't run in GE2024.
Reportedly, at least four people are hoping to become the Labour candidate in her safe Labour seat.
When I graduated from Uni I couldn't get a paralegal job. It was Diane Abbott that gave me my first internship that massively helped and supported my career. She also came all the way to Brixton to be on the panel for the launch of my charity @BLAMCharity. She so selflessly shows up for our community with love and care โค๏ธ thank you @HackneyAbbott
Enough!
It is just horror after horror after horror.
Remember these precious and beautiful lives. They are human beings with names and faces. And they are being indiscriminately slaughtered.
What unconscionable inhumanity. We need a ceasefire, now.
We are living in an evil world man, these peoples lives are being continually destroyed and its now at the point of no return. I hope that the rest of the world steps in and does what it takes to save Palestine and the Palestinianโs.
We may be witnessing the total obliteration of Gaza.
Political leaders refusing to speak out should feel eternal shame over the horror they are allowing to unfold.
Those of us who believe in peace cannot stay silent. We must say to the Palestinian people: you are not alone.
The worlds biggest army is funding the ethnic cleansing of 2 million people and the entirety of the west want us to side with the perpetrators of said crimes against humanityโฆ.
