“Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity.
“You are not numbers or case files.
“You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.” — Pope Leo XIV
These aren't protests. They're racist riots. And it's time for the government to take them seriously.
The PM should be convening COBRA and setting out a real plan to end this horrific violence and bring communities together.
Now is a time for real leadership.
Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame.
Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.
Kevin Maguire: "After the attack on the Liverpool football parade & it was a white guy, middle class, former royal marine, no-one went after other white, middle class former marines & set this person represents that entire group"
Groups of masked men burning families out of their homes is nothing less than disgusting cowardice.
This has nothing to do with community.
This is outright thuggery.
The attack in North Belfast was heinous and wrong.
But there are dangerous attempts to exploit that to target and attack innocent people who are simply trying to live, work and raise their families here.
Racism, intimidation and violence are wrong wherever they occur.
There can be no excuse and no justification for these attacks tonight.
No one wants to see this on our streets and I again appeal for calm.
Andy Burnham says he wants a change in direction from this Labour government.
He can prove it: by backing a public inquiry into the British government's complicity in genocide.

For those wondering about the two year contract proposed to Iraola, here’s why. Speaks volumes about the man that he prefers to earn his pay rather than get a big payout if he gets the chop, fair play, boss attitude to have.
“I’ll be honest with you, I’m excited… I’ve known for a few days that he’s the number one target, spent hours on YouTube watching mic’d up performance sessions.”
Immediate reaction to the Iraola news out soon 🔜
