As Belfast burned this week, a group of women - including some from Sudan - organised to evacuate threatened families from their home. They did it without any help from the state.
I met them. Link below

This is barbaric. They were not permitted to explain to the jury why they carried out the attack on the Elbit factory - which makes the weapons that kill Palestinian children. And the jury was never told they would be sentenced as terrorists. /1

This is the point we've reached: Black & Asian people being burnt out of their homes in the UK. This follows decades of governments & media failing to stand up to racist lies. Every politician & commentator who has pandered to the far-right has blood on their hands today.

And honestly, the Belfast incident should be declared a national emergency. We’ve seen acts of domestic terrorism, people have been displaced and homes destroyed. We need to address and acknowledge the severity of what is happening or we normalise it.

Being trans in a refugee camp in Sudan means carrying fear, pain, and hope all at once. We are human beings searching for safety, dignity, food, medicine, and a place where we can exist without fear. Behind every smile is a story of survival. 🏳️⚧️❤️ #TransRights #Refugees #LGBTQ”

"Britain has decided that the girl who fought the Taliban’s agenda, who learned English in secret, who turned down a forced marriage, who won her place, is an asylum risk.
Her name is Bahar. She is 18 years old. She did everything we asked of her."

As of now, no cladding companies have been criminally prosecuted in relation to the Grenfell Tower fire, despite ongoing investigations. It’s been 9 years since the disaster.

Every month, I will remind you about Grenfell! Please never forget!
It will be 9 years this year, and still no justice.
The Grenfell Fire is the UK’s deadliest residential fire since World War II.
