Honour to pay tribute to beautiful raging force that is bell hooks on BBC Woman's Hour. She taught me the power of being located in the Margins (a place of self recovery) while moving to the Centre (where whiteness resides). Her words keep me grounded as a Black Feminist. RIP ❤

"This is a victory for compassion, humanity and the rights of refugees. The House of Lords is standing up for those in need of protection, however they arrive on our shores." Delighted to see the Lords vote against Clause 11 of the #AntiRefugeeBill!🧡 refugeecouncil.org.uk/latest/news/lo…

The government plans to spend millions on exiling people seeking asylum to Rwanda shows just how morally bankrupt this government is. This is post-colonial racism in action. This is abuse of human rights. This must be stopped. We will be part of the movement to resist this.

Shell just announced soaring profits: £7,300,000,000 in the last 3 months. But the Tories let them pay *zero* tax on North Sea oil and gas production last year. In fact, the Treasury paid *them* £92,000,000. Let's use a windfall tax on these companies to slash energy bills.

Those vulnerable people who come to our country seeking safety and sanctuary should be treated with dignity and respect, not tagged and criminalised. This policy is abhorrent and completely against our position as a Nation of Sanctuary. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-618494…

NEW: #EnoughIsEnough has written to prime minister Boris Johnson imploring him to urgently recall parliament. Sitting down with energy companies and walking away with no new measures is a dereliction of duty. He must act now: stop the October price hike.

Liz Truss says workers in this country need “more graft.” What an insult to the nurses and cleaners and firefighters and posties that they cynically clapped. Britain is full of grafters at the bottom – and grifters at the top. #EnoughIsEnough
