@politicalhackuk Of course there's no ban. This is nonsense, so @CllrJohnCotton and I have written to the Secretary of State seeking a retraction and an apology.

The idea is just one of many to be discussed at a cabinet meeting this week on plans to address inequality and injustice.
How effective do you think the ‘Rooney rule’ could be in challenging the lack of diversity in Birmingham City Council?

What do you think of the report’s recommendations?

[(Un)Heard @unheardSAC]

As hundreds of thousands of pupils prepare to go back to school in the coming weeks, uncovered looks at a report compiled by @RunnymedeTrust on Race and Racism in English Secondary Schools.
