We've talked a lot recently about why Black people do not trust the Police. This Wednesday at 9pm I'm joined via @TwitterSpaces by Stafford Scott, African, Caribbean and Asian Lawyers For Justice, @chantellelunt and you for a frank discussion on where we go from here. Tell a friend.

Excited to be welcoming in Christmas on my @melodicdistractionuk show tomorrow (1st December 🙌🏾) 10am - 12pm. Tune in - via the Listen Live link on the website - for some Hip Hop and RnB tunes, plus plenty of activist updates from me 🎙

In the melodic studio this morning: We welcomed in the festive season and discussed all of the latest news & updates in the world of activism. Catch up with my show here ⬇️⬇️ melodicdistraction.com/episodes/morni…

Ironic, given the current national conversation, that I'm reading 'Where are you really from' by Tim Brannigan . I highly recommend this memoir, which explores life as a young black boy (with an extraordinary family story) growing up in Northern Ireland during the troubles.

In episode 7 of @NoLongerTalking myself and @mikewhoatv discuss the Met's rqcist gangs matrix, black misleadership and the media reports, which have revealed that thousands of black children have been strip searched. Listen here: anchor.fm/winlttirp/epis…

Join me @chantellelunt & The Good The Bad The Ugly Podcast via @TwitterSpaces this Thursday when we'll be discussing the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about #blackpoliceofficers.

Keeping it red with the Socialist Santa Jeremy Corbyn and some wonderful comrades today. Thanks for the solidarity! ✊🏾

It was my 12 month sober anniversary a few weeks ago, a lot of people have asked for tips on how I did it but, for me, the more important question was why I did it. There aren't enough characters to do it justice so I wrote a blog ⬇️ thistriggeredmillenial.home.blog/2023/01/03/one…

This interview with Jack Monroe really resonated with me. I'm 1 year sober and a former Looked After child. I recently wrote about my sober journey and have been supporting people (who read my blog & felt seen) since. We need more open & honest conversations about addiction.

Have only just come across this by Roxy Legane A heartbreakingly accurate account of the criminal (mis)justice system's failure of black men and boys - often churned through the system under joint enterprise laws which deem them guilty by association. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I'll never forget the Police Fed rep who (when I came back into work after having a breakdown) told me that the Police would become a Force against me, if I spoke out. He wasn't wrong. It wasn't just the police either...

Tyre Nichols will be laid to rest today in a funeral led by the Rev Al Sharpton and attended by Vice President Kamala Harris and the family of George Floyd. Tyre Deandre Nichols (June 5, 1993 – January 10, 2023) was a 29-year-old man with a four-year-old son...

🧵 I talk about the institutional racism of the police force in a lot of rooms - in the hope of motivating people into action or, at the very least, awareness of the experiences of black people. This doesn't always make me popular and people don't always want to listen or act.

Suspects arrested in connection with a racially-motivated attack on a black student, 15, outside Thomas Knyvett College in Ashford, Surrey, have been banned from the county ⬇️ #KnyvettCollege mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/b…

If you stand against the sickening scenes outside #SuitesHotel #Knowsley last night, then stand with us and Stand Up To Racism next week, 12pm outside St George's Hall, Liverpool ✊🏾 #RefugeesWelcome #Refugeesarewelcomehere

🧵 Yesterday, our community came together to show what the Liverpool City Region is all about. A region built from migration (including enforced migration), rich in a culture that has always been diverse. We have the world in one city, and we are bloody proud of it!

Well, this is Handmaid's Tale level disturbing: "A school (in Merseyside) has been accused of “degrading” and “inhumane” treatment of female pupils after they were made to line up so that male teachers could inspect the length of their skirts." theguardian.com/education/2023…
