In February & March last year, a friend of mine who runs a UK ventilator manufacturing firm, wrote to the government FOUR TIMES offering his ventilators at cost. He got no reply so sold them instead to Germany.

He isn’t a Brexiteer and he didn’t have Boris’s mobile number.

Today is Stephen Lawrence Day. This is @DuwayneBrooks OBE. He was Stephen's friend. He just about escaped as they ran for their lives from the killers.
"police spied on Brooks and the Lawrence family in an attempt to discredit the campaign for justice for Stephen Lawrence."

@Rawan_Maarouf You are who I want to be when I grow up 😍🙌🏾

One year since we wrote our last open letter asking for better trans representation within the musical theatre community and we are back again. This shouldn’t have to be a yearly review.

Stop calling teenage Black children young men and women. They are kids.

[The London Rep @thelondonrep]

It may not be true justice but it sure as hell feels like something.

I'll take it. For now.

It's a start.

My thoughts go out to the family.

CASTING -paid short film in Bradford. Robert is (50+) a man of few words, has made Bradford his home, gentle and warm. His eyes tell of past troubles, but his smile suggests he's not a care in the world. Black Caribbean or African heritage,happy to amend to suit the actor.

Leaphia Darko's The Very Error of the Moon (@thelondonrep) uses Shakespeare's Othello as a jumping off point and was filmed entirely on smartphones during the pandemic https://t.co/0OyJNrY3MK

When working-class people can’t afford to pay a speeding ticket because of poverty wages or a black kid has some weed, they can end up in jail. Yet when the Health minister breaks the law it barely makes the BBC headlines and he faces no action.

@jesselynverity So sorry to hear this. I hope something comes along soon.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

Believe me, working class parents know better than anyone how to create a meal out of next to nothing when times are hard.

70% of children growing up in poverty live in a working family. Can we stop talking about shopping & start talking about poverty pay & unaffordable housing?

[Pickle-Lily @manda_m0]

when I was a single mum on the breadline I ate, or my son ate. He ate, & I had what he left on his plate. Some days that was nothing. You can't begin to comprehend how important this is for some families. 322 Tories have no idea about food poverty. And I dont even think they care
