My statement on the Prime Minister's resignation:

[Sinai Fleary 🇬🇩🇻🇨 @S_Fleary1]

Firstly, Happy #WindrushDay

Today we celebrate people from The Caribbean who were invited to rebuild Britain after World War II.

DO NOT forget those who are STILL waiting for compensation after being wrongfully treated like illegal immigrants by the Home Office.

#WindrushDay

that’s the question isn’t it. what WILL she do? there are no youth clubs for her to attend. food, cinema tickets, any sort of third space activity is all too expensive. their parents are underpaid, saturday jobs don’t exist any more, children have truly been abandoned by the govt

The UK is heading down a very dystopian path… and the majority of this island is gleefully cheering it on under the guise of “child safety” 🙂

Mind you, none of this would even be a topic of discussion if parents would actually parent their kids…

@Jzbxet7 If that were the case, you wouldn’t be co-signing setting random black people’s homes and businesses on fire in retaliation then? A life cannot be that important to you if you’re ready to also kill random people like that man tried to do.

As a black woman, I don't think James Bond should be played by a black man, that's my take. But Idris Elba using "woke" to explain why a black man shouldn't play James Bond is wrong on so many levels. That use of "woke" is a racist dog whistle, and he should know better.

Like clockwork, every Pride Month, someone inevitably starts talking about whether Muslims can, in fact, be gay. This year, the latest round arrived courtesy of 5Pillars, a media outlet claiming to be the “voice” of Muslims in the U.K. Its handy “How To Navigate Pride Month” for “Muslims living in the West” offers choice advice: “Muslims who experience same-sex attraction…should seek spiritual support.” Then, 5Pillars set their eyes on some notable targets: London Mayor Sadiq Khan and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

“The Muslim mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, celebrates queer and transgender New Yorkers,” said a miffed 5Pillars tweet. The blowback was swift. “My first consideration is the preservation of Islamic purity. If that upsets people, then so be it,” 5Pillars founder Roshan M. Salih, who is of Sri Lankan and Welsh descent, told The Juggernaut. “We don’t condemn people who have same-sex attraction. However…if they act upon that attraction, then they are sinning.” As for Zohran Mamdani? “He was tweeting in favor of LGBTQ Pride, and that is a clear contradiction in the eyes of Muslims.”

But it seemed like no one was talking to the very group that the whole fiasco was about: queer Muslims. What do they have to say? The Juggernaut spoke to many in the community, including Islamic scholars, to find out.

Same, sorry but @ZackPolanski can’t repeat the same mistakes of the Labour Party and creating safe spaces for men that behave like Red pill losers under the guise of religion.

i hope the next global trend will be empathy and critical thinking.

Henry Nowak is the latest victim of a policing system that frequently abuses its power and strips people of their humanity. It is utterly despicable and it is not new.

In one sense, I’m glad that the likes of Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe finally care about police brutality. But their analysis of a “two-tier” policing system (in which the police favours racialised communities at the expense of white people) is a wilful distortion of reality. It is designed to turn us against each other and it lets violent policing off the hook.

Henry Nowak and his family deserve justice. Every victim of police brutality and their families deserve justice.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

The murder of Henry Nowak is a genuinely harrowing case.

He was attacked and stabbed repeatedly by Vickrum Digwa, only for his desperate calls for help to be met with mockery by police officers, before he ultimately lost his life.

How we respond to this tragedy defines who we are as a society:

1⃣ The British Sikh community are not responsible for the criminal actions of Vickrum Digwa. There is no justification for anti-Sikh hatred, just as there is no justification for hatred towards any community.

2⃣ The police officers involved have serious questions to answer, and there must be a thorough and independent inquiry. However, with more than 160,000 police officers serving across the UK, we cannot hold an entire profession responsible for the alleged failures of a few individuals.

3⃣ This tragedy can either be used to bring people together in solidarity and support, or it can be used to sow division and distrust. We should choose unity over division.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Nowak family during this unimaginably difficult time 🙏

RIP, Henry Nowak.

You suffered one of the gravest injustices imaginable at the hands of people entrusted with protecting the public. The best way to honour your memory is to ensure the truth is uncovered, accountability is delivered, and lasting changes are made so that no one else suffers the same fate 🙏

This is why for all its flaws Twitter just cannot be beaten because what do you mean someone saw this woman at the Tommy Robinson march and recognised her from an episode of Wife Swap UK that aired 22 years ago in 2004?

[State of Palestine @Palestine_UN]

78 years of ongoing Nakba.
78 years of erasure.

Against all odds, we remain on our land and the land of our ancestors.

Return is our right.
Freedom is our destiny.

On May 15, join the Palestinian people in commemorating the Nakba.
