'The abandonment of the recommendations, designed to redress the historic mistreatment of the Windrush generation, is another example of the broken promises that particularly the Windrush cohort has faced.'

🗣️ Garden Court Chambers's Nicola Braganza KC

People of colour are more likely to live in unsafe and unsuitable homes, like two-year-old Awaab Ishak, who died from respiratory issues caused by black mould in his home.

Proud to support Ageing Better's #SafeHomesNow campaign urging the government to tackle dangerous housing.

It is a terrible indictment of our political system that it has passed.

Sending strength and solidarity to Jordan, who remains paralysed after being tasered by police.

Police are 4.2x more likely to use tasers against Black people, and for longer. It's time to end the use of such aggressive, dangerous policing techniques. standard.co.uk/news/crime/met…

This decision is outrageous, but rests comfortably within a hostile, Islamophobic mood, stirred up by political and media elites. Birbalsingh's statement wilfully corrupts and inverts the values of multiculturalism & is gleeful endorsement of Islamophobia.
