A tradesman wearing uniform says that Met Police told him he “does not look like an electrician” during a S&S. Josh King said despite no further action being taken, he lost business when a contract ended after police contacted a client to verify his work. inews.co.uk/news/black-tra…

Our client, Anjali*, is “sad & gutted” that her father’s compensation was issued a year after he died, & 4 years after the Home Office confirmed he was settled in the UK.

Two FoI requests received different data, with one showing 14 people rather than 5 died while living in asylum accommodation.

Deborah Coles responded to this deliberate attempt by government to conceal the truth on how many people are dying in their care.

Shameful Govt delay to agree terms of reference of this inquiry is an insult & betrayal of those bereaved families like ⁦🌹THE LAMPARD INQUIRY🌹⁩ who have campaigned for years for justice, accountability and change. Ongoing lack of candour and respect. bbc.com/news/uk-englan…

Without the work of Ajibola, many would be at risk of greater violence

RIP SENI 🙏🏿

With the support of United Families & Friends Campaign (UFFC) and INQUEST

Ajibola and his loved ones campaigned for 7 years to find out what really happened.

They got a second inquest which revealed how Seni was killed.

The coroner's court said the officers restrained him in a disproportionate way.
