If you would like to support our call to withdraw consent to the current model of policing in the UK then follow.

1/1 The Colonial roots of The Metropolitan Police:

Revisionist accounts of police history argued that colonial police forces of the 18th and 19th centuries shared many commonalities with the Metropolitan Police force that followed them...

I've said it before, I'll say it again. The call is coming from inside the house.

Remember, at these Far Right Riots outside Asylum Hotels, supposedly to protect “our women and children“, the most likely sexual offenders are the ones outside, not inside.

Hi @metpoliceuk

This is clearly a call to violence against Muslims in England.

It is terrifying and we need you to investigate.

RT if you stand against racism.

Learning that one of the ‘patriots’ behind the raising the flags campaign was previously jailed over *checks notes* a plot to smuggle people into the UK. Just months after police data showed that 41% of those arrested in last year’s riots had prior domestic abuse reports.
The call’s coming from inside the house, lads

In part 2 of "Why I went on GB News after they wrote a baiting article about me," I dive into how they tried to set me up for a viral moment and why it turned out to be less challenging than expected. It really shows how far-right narratives are creeping into mainstream media. Apart from the crass "on the nose" graphics and the attempt to spark a heated moment I didn’t give them, the whole experience left me thinking about how we, on the left, should engage.

It’s definitely reinforced my commitment to independent media and to creating my own content, even if it takes more time. The bigger question is: do we engage, do we withdraw, or do we build our own platforms and reclaim the narrative?

I’d love to hear your thoughts. Going on that show is not something I’m in a rush to repeat, and while I’m sure they’ll write about me again, I won’t be hurrying back onto their platform anytime soon.

In part 1 of this 2-parter, I explain why I agreed to appear on GB News after they published an article describing my Good Morning Britain appearance as “an absolute disgrace” that caused “outrage.”

I break down what happened on the show that led to this coverage, why I don’t think labelling shoplifters “scumbags” is the best way to tackle the rise in shoplifting, especially when worsening poverty is a major factor, and my reasoning for going on a show that, shockingly, has some of the UK’s highest news viewer ratings.

Check out part 2 to see who they tried to catch me out with on the show, and how I responded.

Poverty is out of control - people stealing essential food items from supermarkets is telling us what we already know: working class people are struggling to put food on the table.

I live in a country that gives military support to another country which is killing thousands of civilians while proscribing an organisation which protests about it.

So when is Frank Hester going to be investigated and charged for saying that Diane Abbott should be shot and that looking at her would make him hate all Black Women?

A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of working with 20 Stories High on the R&D for Black Brown and Blue, a new verbatim play written and directed by Keith Saha, which I’ve been associate producing alongside an incredible creative team.

The R&D sharing took place at the Everyman Theatre's rehearsal space, and it was such a powerful experience — from the stories we gathered to the phenomenal talent in the room. Hats off to Ade for portraying me so perfectly that even my friends and family commented on how she’d captured my mannerisms to a tee!

Huge thank you to the officers and former officers who allowed us to interview them — your honesty and vulnerability are the heartbeat of this work.

I’m genuinely excited to see how this project develops as we continue to centre lived experience, storytelling, and truth in our creative spaces.

If you’d like to know more about the play, feel free to drop me an email or dm.

What a powerful way to round off an incredible June.

I was honoured to speak on the opening “What Next for the Left?” panel at the legendary Left Field stage at Glastonbury. Sharing space with Gary Younge, Ash Sarkar, Harriet Protheroe-Soltani, and our brilliant host Ayeisha Thomas-Smith was both grounding and galvanising.

I used my time on the panel to argue that the Left must resist being dragged further right under the guise of “culture wars” and “wokeism.” These terms are often weaponised to distract from the very real crises facing marginalised communitie - crises that affect not only people’s dignity, but their safety and survival.

I also highlighted that many of those most targeted (Black, trans, LGBTQ+ folks, and women) are not separate from the working class. They are at the heart of it. It is absolutely possible to fight for economic justice while standing in full solidarity with marginalised communities. In fact, that’s the only way we build something lasting.

While there were different perspectives on the panel, it was clear that we were all united in our commitment to building a Left capable of challenging the current hard-right narrative.

Grateful to everyone who showed up, listened, asked questions and sat with us. Super grateful to the Leftfield team for taking such good care of us throughout the festival, too. 🙏🏾

Cops Stephen Smith and Rachel Comotto, who Pava-sprayed and Tasered a man in a care home, have been found not guilty of assault.

I’m guessing it was their widely held belief that a 92 year old man with one leg wielding a butter knife could endanger their lives…
