⚠️ For those unfamiliar with the term “remigration,” it does not only mean deportation of undocumented immigrants but also the expulsion of non-white people to the country of their racial or ethnic ancestral origin without regard to their citizenship, legal status, or place of birth.

This is so disappointing. I was the interim CEO of the Runnymede Trust during the global Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. At the same time BME groups were disproportinately dying, and at risk from covid-19 virus. So many reports and evidence re: racial inequities yet we have barely made a dent.

We have been warning you about this man and his links to American anti abortion campaigners. Now the mask is slipping about what he would do - the ONLY way to protect abortion access is to make it a human right. Ask your MP to co sign NC17 to the policing bill now.

It’s way past the point of arguing that what’s happening in Gaza is a major public health crisis. Rather it’s an utter failure of humanity. How can we talk about damaging population health if that population is not even regarded by the mainstream powers of the day as equally deserving of wellbeing?

This is from my friend, Nabil, in Gaza today. He says there is NO food left. He has never sounded so in despair. Israel is carrying out war crimes; violating international humanitarian law; inflicting collective punishment on a captive people; trying to starve them into submission. It’s obscene.

Excellent piece by Gordon Brown - reminding us about the 4.5m children languishing in poverty in UK. It's getting worse by the day. It's NOT about workshy parents: 7/10 poor children live in households with one working parent. Child poverty is not inevitable. The Government CAN do something about it
