#StuartHall on tea ☕️🫖🇬🇧🔥“I was coming home. I am the sugar at the bottom of the English cup of tea.I am the sweet tooth, the sugar plantations that rotted generations of English children's teeth.”

People don’t care what her words mean: the fact that she’s a WoC shouting passionately in a non-Western language is enough to demonise and condemn her. ‘Sinister’! What a telling word! My God, the racism! The serene and entitled ignorance!

If you haven't seen absolutely mind blowing exhibition, go see it. You only have a few days left. Ending on 28 April Royal Academy

If you haven’t spoken yet, you can speak now. If you’ve taken refuge in vague protestations of ‘it’s complicated’, you can decide that maybe it isn’t really. If you’ve spoken in praise of Israel’s actions - you can change your mind! It’s always a great day to oppose genocide!

If you have any platform, any influence, you must use it. It’s not comfortable. Unfortunately none of us were born into history with the right to comfort. Why do you think you deserve to be comfortable when children are under the rubble?

Tomorrow's #ProfessorialLecture with Dorothy Price is fully booked with a waiting list, if you booked a ticket but can no longer attend please release your ticket so another may take your place 🙏

It’s sickening, worrying and disturbing to know that such harmful,disgraceful and dangerous language has been used against #DianaAbbott . It puts women of colour in danger and highlights the ingrained racism and misogynistic attitudes that exist in society bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
