Pleased to see @LewishamCouncil join @Royal_Greenwich and 19 other @londoncouncils in calling out this government's reckless and inhumane treatment of vulnerable people seeking sanctuary, including victims of trafficking and unaccompanied children

Lewisham Deptford BAME branch is deeply concerned by the shocking footage of a police officer repeatedly punching a young Black man in the head.

There will be a sit-down protest outside Lewisham police station at 1pm, this Saturday 30 July.

The @ourBAMElab social yesterday was exactly what the doctor ordered! It was so lovely catching up with old and new faces that I hope to see on the #LabourDoorstep.

Thank you to all who helped to organise 🌹

Race & Class is dismayed to learn that Gholam Khiabany, of our Editorial Working Committee, has been de-facto suspended by Goldsmiths University management alongside his colleague, Des Freedman.

We'd urge any academic colleagues to sign this statement https://t.co/bqkoWfF36L

Just heard horrifying news. A detainee who is schizophrenic, was off his meds, did not have capacity to act in his best interest (tonnes of medical evidence to support this - he was extremely paranoid and did not believe there was a flight on 18th) #Jamaica50 #StopThePlane (1/3)
