.@shabnabegum from the @RunnymedeTrust is spot on here, immigrants aren't responsible for the housing crisis. We know what's happening - migrants are being scapegoated for the consequences of decisions taken by successive governments over decades.
Mainstream political debates, which locate almost every social issue as having a migrant or Muslim cause, need to be challenged.
These claims are not supported by the evidence, and do nothing to solve the issues this country faces.

"I think by always making every issue, always bringing it back to immigration does the really damaging poisonous work of encouraging racism"
@shabnabegum from @RunnymedeTrust. Spot on. Migrants are being scapegoated for the consequences of political decisions by successive govts
Had gone on the show, wondering what I might have to say about NI/EU trade rule changes & planning reforms - but I should have known that even these issues will be dragged into explanations that blame immigrants...
Love representing @RunnymedeTrust

“Racist riots will return if Islamophobia continues to be ‘an acceptable currency’ in politics.”

This summer’s racist riots were the clear outcome of intensifying Islamophobia in the UK.
Our new report shows that Islamophobia is growing, and highlights its structural nature across British society.

'Misogynoir in the workplace' includes recommendations for actionable steps that employers, unions and the govt can take to address systemic barriers, and create workplaces where Black women can feel safe, valued, and supported to thrive.

Misogynoir hinders Black women's career progression, wellbeing, and sense of belonging at work.
Drawing on interviews with women from various sectors, our latest report sheds light on the barriers they face, the personal toll it takes, and how they create joy despite this.
This work builds on our Broken Ladders report, which found that 75% of women of colour have experienced racism at work, and 61% report changing themselves to ‘fit in’.
