Meanwhile, it’s been crickets from the UK higher education sector. Universities who depend on their non-white, ‘international’ students for their fees don’t seem to be too concerned to issue statements of support or advocacy. I guess VCs are on holiday with the PM.

This is an absolutely disgraceful headline. Muslims were forced to defend their mosques, businesses and homes because our communities have been terrorised by racist thugs. Those thugs have been emboldened by racist journalists who absolutely despise British Muslims.

Hundreds of thousands of people have started to march toward the center of Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka. The country's Chief of Army Staff will address the nation at 14:00 local time.

Multiple official sources tell me that Sheikh Hasina has resigned as the Bangladesh premier after 15 years of uninterrupted rule.

love to live in a country which is very good at democracy so much so that you're not allowed to criticise areas under the home sec's portfolio (responsible for various areas including policing and immigration) because her husband might interrupt and shout at you on morning tv

Absolutely disgraceful behaviour by the British media class who have been utterly complicit in creating the conditions for these ferments to happen. All power to Zarah Sultana MP who faces what so many women of colour in the UK face all the time speaking truth to power.

Good to see the point being made of the role of some of the think tanks which have rosen in prominence over the last two decades, aided by politiciand of the two main parties. Some have had champions at the very top of Govet who entrenched division in policy - looking at you Gove

A very apposite read from Dr Nadya Ali about how anti-Muslim and anti- migrant sentiments have converged in recent years. Prevent+hostile environment = where we are today

A reminder that, as a Government Minister, Robert Jenrick ordered the Home Office to paint over cartoon murals at a centre for unaccompanied children seeking asylum. The dehumanisation of migrants doesn't happen in a vacuum. Own it, and apologise for the part you have played.

Baker mentions liaising with something called Rushmoor First here. This appears to be their facebook page, and it's absolutely full of racist and Islamophobic posts and content: facebook.com/groups/rushmoo…

over the last few years the most senior politicians in the country have relentlessly demonised ‘lefty lawyers’, support workers and activists trying to help migrant communities. if even one of the rumoured targets is hit tonight, those politicians need to be held responsible.

Robert Jenrick believes that somebody shouting #AllahhuAkbar on the streets of #London should be immediately arrested. No push back from Wilfred Frost on Sky News

Robert Jenrick wants us to be "immediately arrested" for saying God is great. If you want to talk about immediate action, we think it's wrong he isn't arrested for sorting out the flammable cladding crisis, which took the lives of 72 people, and is at risk of taking many more.

I've seen it said that when fash don't show up it's still a beautiful opportunity to meet neighbours, know who's safe, strengthen community, and show the numbers/ sheer people power of antifascist organising and spirit in your area. These are all good things that weaken fascism.

The sight of large numbers of anti-fascist, anti-racist protesters across the UK is amazing and deeply moving. SOLIDARITY ❤️❤️❤️✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽

“Considering Jordan’s dedication, why was it Lorde’s book amid the rubble, and not hers?” So brilliant, read it and consider how writers who spoke up when it counted most were disappeared.
