@EdwardJDavey Yeah, right.

[Ed Davey @EdwardJDavey]

As we look in horror at the murder of George Floyd and its aftermath, we must reflect on the structural racism that made it possible.

We shouldn’t think such racism is confined to the US. Too many suffer injustice in this country too. We have a duty to fight & extinguish it #BLM

@metoffice Just stick to the weather. 🙄

[Susannah Rayner @rayner_susannah]

@Mr_Andrew_Fox They are not “legally obliged” to ensure discrimination between different ethnic groups. That’s just bonkers - and dangerous to boot.

[Susannah Rayner @rayner_susannah]

@Mr_Andrew_Fox @mr_james_c No, he isn’t.

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary published this Race Action Plan covering 2024 to 2026. It is the operational document of the force that handcuffed Henry Nowak as he died.

Read it carefully because every element of what happened on that Southampton street in December 2025 is visible in its priorities, its language and its omissions.

The plan states the force will pursue offenders and deal with offences that cause the most harm to ethnic minority communities. Not all communities. Ethnic minority communities specifically. The document that is supposed to govern equal policing contains within it an explicit hierarchy of whose harm the force prioritises.

The plan commits to training officers on the history of policing minority ethnic communities to understand the trauma and failings of the past. Officers are to be trained in the grievances of specific communities. They are not trained to treat every member of the public as an equal before the law regardless of which community makes an accusation against them. The consequence of that training is documented on body cam footage that the Prime Minister described as making him feel sick.

The plan establishes a Black and Ethnic Minority network called BEAM with scrutiny powers over the Chief Constable's Legitimacy Board. A community network defined by ethnicity has institutional oversight of the force's legitimacy decisions. The force that handcuffed Henry Nowak built that oversight structure into its own governance framework.

The plan commits to making the force anti-discriminatory and to explaining or reforming any disproportionality. Disproportionality in policing is the term used when members of one community are stopped, searched or arrested at higher rates than their population share. The entire framework of anti-racism training in British policing is built around reducing that disproportionality. The officers who arrested Henry Nowak and did not arrest his killer were acting within a framework designed to avoid exactly the kind of disproportionality that arresting a Sikh man on the word of a white victim might have produced.

Shabana Mahmood said there must be no two tier policing. This is the document that built it. It is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary's own Race Action Plan. It is publicly available. It was in force on December 4th 2025. Nobody is investigating it.

@pippyyeayea @DavidLammy Again, there’s no evidence of any commitment other than you bought a house together. That’s your choice. What Lammy’s actual proposing is to water down the commitment of marriage and civil partnership.

[Susannah Rayner @rayner_susannah]

@pippyyeayea @DavidLammy What exactly is the commitment here? You share a house. If you want to formalise your relationship, there are several options open to you. It is your choice not to take them.

[Susannah Rayner @rayner_susannah]

@pippyyeayea @DavidLammy So get married or have a civil partnership.🤷🏻‍♀️

[Susannah Rayner @rayner_susannah]

@BarryF107 @cityoflondon @thespiralquirk Correct!👍

[Susannah Rayner @rayner_susannah]

@Millyhog136068 @SkyNews Then you’d have to shut down every online app and forum, because they’ve suffered the same.

[Susannah Rayner @rayner_susannah]

@Millyhog136068 @SkyNews If it wasn’t for X, we’d never have heard about Henry Novak.

I’m sorry but if a snake introduces itself to me on the Victoria line, I’m liable to stare at her.

[Susannah Rayner @rayner_susannah]

@PreetKGillMP @Mr_Andrew_Fox @birmingham_live @SikhFedUK @SikhPA @bbcwm @LabourSJ @LabourSatvir @WarinderSJuss @AppgBritSikhs These MPs have also missed the point: it was as much about the conduct of the police and its wider implications, something they failed to mention.

[Susannah Rayner @rayner_susannah]

@SamanthaNiblet4 Why should any of us ‘respect’ anyone who seeks to control our language, by demanding that we engage in a lie, simply to pander to their extreme body dysmorphia or sexual fetish? You simply have no idea what you are talking about.

[Susannah Rayner @rayner_susannah]

@SangitaMyska About what, exactly? Did the police arrest and cuff the Saudi student as he was dying? Did they side with his murderer? If not, what are you talking about?

[Susannah Rayner @rayner_susannah]

@MrsNickyClark @cathynewman She made similar claims after the Jordan Peterson interview. I stand to be corrected, but, as then, I’ve struggled to find more than a handful of misogynistic tweets on her timeline regarding the interview, and no death threats. Most is just fair criticism.

[Rachel @RachelD1892]

Henry was murdered in December.
The reason the world knows what happened is because of X.
That's the reason Starmer is angry with Elon.
Not for Henry, but because the world has seen the truth of the rotten state of identity politics in the UK.

[Susannah Rayner @rayner_susannah]

@melb4886 @ArturNadol7566 You’re right - Floyd was an American career criminal, in a dangerously poor state of health due to substance abuse, being arrested for yet another crime he’d committed. Henry was an innocent British kid, wrongfully arrested as he lay dying and treated with contempt by our police.

[Susannah Rayner @rayner_susannah]

@peterrhague She made the same claims after the infamous Jordan Peterson interview. As then, I’ve not come across any death threats on her time line and, while there’s lots of criticism of her, relatively little beyond the usual ripe language and Twitter levels of civility we all put up with.

[Susannah Rayner @rayner_susannah]

@aljhlester @RobertMadeley01 She’s not a hypocrite - she’s consistently said for years that identity politics are a disaster, and they demonstrably have been. She’s the very antithesis of an “ethnonationalist” (whatever that really means). You’re just angry because she’s right - in all senses of the word.
