If you’re in the West Midlands and beyond and you’re Muslim, make sure you protect every African auntie, uncle and child like they’re your own flesh and blood. Hearing horrible reports of racism going through the roof in city centres toward our brothers and sisters. 🫵🏿💙☝🏽🫱🏻‍🫲🏾

I’m just a normal lad from the streets of Coventry. I risk my livelihood by talking about a number of things that it’d be much easier to keep my mouth shut about. But I don’t, because I grew up being taught to bring people together, and standing up to bullies and wankers.

We ran the far-right out of Nottingham! Over 250 anti-fascists gathered in a show of force against racists trying to claim our streets. We faced them down until they had to flee in a police van. And our sheer size deterred their other extremist friends from joining them. ✊🏽

Race and class are often counter-posed against each other as if talking about one prevents you talking about the other. It's part of a divisive narrative that seeks to invisibilise the Black and Asian working class.

Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost. Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not? Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not? Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can? None of this is coherent.

During Britain's four colonial centuries, the vast majority were denied the vote, so we weren't an advanced democracy at the time we supposedly introduced it

Breaking: Sky News just deleted this video by their Amsterdam correspondent Alice Porter posted to Twitter, without public explanation. I saved a copy. The video explains the truth about the Israeli football hooligans who went on a racist rampage in the city this week. Watch:

'What you are running here is not a factory, it is a zoo. But in a zoo, there are many types of animals. Some are monkeys, who dance on your fingertips. Others are lions, who can bite your head off. We are the lions, Mr Manager.' — Jayaben Desai during the 1976 Grunwick strike

Remembering the formidable anti-racist campaigner Anwar Ditta. A working-class Kashmiri woman, she was born in Birmingham and lived in Rochdale, sharing platforms with the likes of Tony Benn and Arthur Scargill and leading numerous anti-deportation campaigns. 🧵

To every student and young person who stood up on university campuses against what are now officially deemed war crimes: you are heroes and your persecutors are trash.

I had a great conversation with Corinne Fowler. Thanks to the great audience, we discussed “Our Island Stories—Country Walks Through Colonial Britain” at the @kendalmountain Book Festival in Kendal. I focused our conversation on the two walks in Cumbria. Check out the book 10

1. Thread: Nottingham university slavery report. Times article below demonstrates why we have impoverished debates about UK slavery history. Like the coverage of the National Trust report, this article actively discourages serious engagement with research findings.
