It’s reported the Home Office doesn’t want to give asylum to Afghans fleeing violence “because of the message it will send to other refugees”.

@PritiPatel’s sheer cruelty & inhumanity is astonishing, especially given Britain’s key role in creating this crisis.

Apartheid states aren’t democracies.

Vanessa Nakate, a climate activist from Uganda, was cut out of a news photo featuring her and four white campaigners.

She denounced her omission as a sign of the erasure of Black voices in environmental activism. Her message reverberated across the world.

Britain has not overcome institutional racism.

The vastly disproportionate impact of COVID 19 on black and asian communities in the UK show that the conclusions of the government's race report can not be taken seriously.

It’s time to leave ethnicity eGFR adjustment behind.... they are inappropriate, inaccurate and exacerbate health inequalities. So proud of King’s Kidney Care making the first step.....Black Kidneys Matter!

[Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan @crageshri]

A reminder that it is racism not race/ethnicity that is a risk factor for poor health outcomes. There is nothing inherently deficient about black and brown people’s bodies. #racismnotrace https://t.co/7Cqaoye189

Policing is a threat to public health and human rights.

We propose a definition for abolitionist public health.

Historical and persistent colonial dynamics underpin the exploitation of minoritised people. The valid medical mistrust this gives rise to must be acknowledged, rather than dangerously conflated with the anti-vaccination movement.

Is that insect called 'Europe?'

[University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust @UHD_NHS]

Our staff have never worked so hard and we couldn’t be more proud of all they are doing for our region. We would love to welcome @RobertSyms so he can meet our front line staff to see for himself that our hospitals are not empty and how lockdown helps us protect planned care

So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

In Parliament, I just demanded action on structural racism.

The Minister's reply? The Tories "have a record to be proud of" on race.

Tell that to Grenfell survivors still living in temporary housing, victims of the Windrush scandal & BAME people disproportionately hit by Covid.

[Discover Society @DiscoverSoc]

If we continue to misattribute racialised health disparities to innate biological causes, we ignore the socioeconomic determinants of health that contribute to these health inequities @crageshri @rapclassroom #COVID19 https://t.co/x74uASxs6v

[Channel 5 News @5_News]

The British Medical Association is calling for an investigation into whether black and ethnic minority communities are more vulnerable to the coronavirus.

A piece on the UK BBC news today about BAME Covid deaths, featuring my brother and mention of our late father with photos

[Sonia Sodha @soniasodha]

Striking that all four doctors who have tragically lost their lives to coronavirus have been people of colour. A reminder of how reliant the NHS is on BAME & migrant doctors and nurses 🙏.
