One year on from the election of a Labour govt dangerous concessions to the far right on racism, Islamophobia and immigration, have gone from bad to worse – as have the opinion polls, writes Sabby Dhalu SUTR Co-Convenor for Labour Outlook labouroutlook.org/2025/07/04/a-y…

"People who are writing island of strangers speeches should be a bit slow to sit in judgement on Diane Abbott who has been fighting racism all her life," Labour peer Baroness Chakrabarti tells #PoliticsLive bbc.in/3TMmg1J

It is absolutely absurd that Diane Abbott was suspended for this. She's describing the lived experience of anti-Black racism. She wasn't saying Jewish people and Travellers don't experience racism. She's saying that racism takes different forms.

Speaking as a gay person: Gay people suffer prejudice and bigotry, but largely speaking, leaving aside how we might choose to present our physical appearance, a bigot cannot immediately know for sure we are gay. Anti-Black racism is very different from this.

A govt that stepped up racism in response to Reform UK, meanwhile failed to deliver for victims of Windrush scandal, has no authority on the issue of racism. Rank hypocrisy for Labour to suspend Diane Abbott while taking no action against Starmer echoing Enoch Powell (1/3)

Announcement of Diane Abbott suspension happened on same evening as another anti-refugee racist riot erupted outside the Bell Hotel in Epping Forest. Nothing said on riot. This govt has lost its bearings on racism. (2/3)

Different communities experience different types of racism. All of it must be rooted out of society. Our job is to unite all these communities & all opposed to racism against all forms of racism. Our President Diane Abbott agrees with us. (3/3)

Sabby Dhalu Co-Convenor of Stand Up To Racism addresses the massive antifascist demo in Islington : ‘If we can push back fascists in Epping, we can push them back anywhere - we need to challenge racism whether from the govt or the far right - unite against racism!’

Mohammed Kozbar Chair of Finsbury Park Mosque at Islington demo : Refugees risk their lives to come here because we interfere in their countries! The far right target Black, Muslim, Jewish & Irish communities - they will come for others when they are finished with us!

Diane Abbott MP at Islington antiracist demo: we say to racists & fascists ‘they shall not pass! London was built by successive waves of migrants - and we won’t be fooled by politicians who pander to racism and fascism’ #StandUpToRacism #RefugeesAreWelcome

‘Holocaust survivors call on Nigel Farage to apologise over alleged antisemitic comments’. “Let us be clear: praising Hitler, mocking gas chambers, or hurling racist abuse is not banter. Not in a playground. Not anywhere’’. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Lessons for 2026 from last years Caerphilly by-election. #ReformUK & #NigelFarage can be stopped & their divisive message rejected. #RefugeesAreNotToBlame theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

#Trump’s ICE have just shot & killed a woman in Minneapolis, mere blocks from the racist police murder of George Floyd 5 years ago. She was a legal observer driving away from agents as she was shot through the car window.

ICE are armed racist thugs - and murderers - who have been terrorising communities and rounding up and deporting migrants across the US. This is the picture #NigelFarage wants to bring to Britain. Oppose them all #standuptoracism
