It's perhaps not #Newscast #Brexitcast or #Americast. But #Fortunately we can now go live with our October podcast. Listen to @AquinasUK students past and present discussing political activism. Thanks to all involved in this and future episodes. anchor.fm/aquinascitizens/ep…

Yet again @LGS_Politics nails a top, top thread on the Senate & the voting rights bill. Please, read, click the links, etc.

Y13: The Senate attempted last night to advance the voting rights bills. When that failed, they tried to change the filibuster rules. Great evidence so many topics (identified below). Threaded here are some key moments from the night you could use in an essay - CASE STUDY! 🧵1/10

The whole series of Small Axe films is amazing but this is the one I mentioned during our @aquinascitizens session this evening when we were discussing racism and sexism in the police force... bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

During our @aquinascitizens session tonight I mentioned @JenWilliamsMEN excellent work covering GMP. Here’s a link to some of it for those who are interested in holding the mayor to account during upcoming hustings events...
26 Mar 2021
Well, it's a new era at GMP, as the new Chief is unveiled. Too many cops are 'fed up' and leaving, he says; austerity isn't an excuse for what's happened; but the force isn't a failure. Oh...and the mayor thinks more public scrutiny is needed of the force
