On a day when Boris Johnson has no doubt enriched himself royally from the publication of his book, @BJennings90 could not have put it more searingly. Thank you, Ben, for speaking so fiercely, on behalf of so many of us 💔

[LBC @LBC]

"Such contempt for your countrymen and women that you would enter into an exercise of almost immeasurable national change...solely for the vanity-sating purpose of 'winning an argument'."

Boris Johnson has 'finally told the truth' about his Brexit motivations, says @mrjamesob.

Hannah Cockroft says it’s time for #EqualPlay

Our athletes have been making the equals sign with their arms in Paris to urge the UK Government to act now to ensure that by LA 2028, no disabled child is left on the sidelines of school sport or PE.

There can be no excuses. The UK riots were violent racism fomented by populism | David Olusoga https://t.co/U1zVA1wWMs

Mick was right in June. Nigel Farage is a racist.

Krishnun Guru-Murthy, "Have we been clear about what is going on?"

Sathnam Sanghera, "I keep hearing these disturbances described as race riots.. The term implies that people of colour have blame in causing them.. When they're caused entirely by white mob violence" @Sathnam

"One of my first memories as a kid was hiding in a Sikh temple as hordes of far right national front thugs tried to burn down shops and homes in Wolverhampton"

"Each time there is talk of white mobs attacking people of colour.. There is talk of brown people being blamed.. It's happening today.. Asian thugs gathering in Birmingham"

"Let's call this what it is.. These are racist riots.. It's racially aggravated violence.. These are lynch mobs.. And at worst, it's domestic terrorism"

KGM, "I can feel on social media people asking: what about the Asian mobs, what about those guys we've seen with weapons"

Sathnam Sanghera, "If you're living in a community and your house is at threat of being burnt down, like the police station was being burnt down.. You probably would organise and assemble and protect your community from that threat"

"But when Asian people gather it's a gang.. But when white thugs gather, seemingly, it's a protest"

BBC News at Six report: “We have seen serious acts of violence…which have crossed the line into terrorism”

GOLD for @LeighHarriers!

We could not be more proud of you,

[Nitin Sawhney @thenitinsawhney]

Just unbelievable how badly @zarahsultana is treated here… They ask her questions, cut her off while she’s addressing those questions then accuse her of not answering the very questions they interrupted the answers to… Upon which they sneer and cackle at her with embarrassing conceit. Astonishing.

1. Have some manners. She is your guest.
2. Don’t all speak over her at once and then condemn her for not being able to answer you.
3. Don’t dismiss everything a woman of colour says when she tries to very politely tell you hard truths. That is called bullying.
4. Don’t arrogantly tell her you were right on language your guest correctly identifies as complicit in aggravating and stoking tensions.
5. We have seen endless pictures, videos and anecdotes of Muslims getting attacked up and down the country by right wing thugs… what on earth possesses you to think its appropriate to interrogate and gaslight your guest into believing none of that happened? We’ve ALL seen it! Even non Muslims like myself are traumatised by it so I can’t imagine how she feels. Don’t make your ignorance and lack of research her problem.

Absolutely shocking, @edballs and @kategarraway

[Aina J. Khan | عین جبین خان @ainajkhan]

"Why is that language important to you?" @zarahsultana is asked when she says PM Keir Starmer needs to call the riots racist and Islamophobic. This is the problem with UK legacy media. It's in denial about the experiences of anyone but their (white and middle class) selves.
