UN rapporteur says the government are pretty unconcerned with state of poverty and destiution amongst our communities. How damning is that? I thought a government worked for its people not against them, subjecting then to hardship and misery.

This woman speaks for many, not only today but also the many this country has ignored and abandoned over the decades. People whom, like she said, have only ever contributed to this country and our society. We need to stand in solidarity with her. Raise her voice!

This woman is incredible and her reality is shared by millions. A Portuguese woman who has lived in Britain for 20 years says: โ€œI gave this country my youth. I looked after your children, your elderly. You must make me part of the process.โ€ #StopTheCoup #Brexit @Another_Europe

As a child of immigrants I know what it feels like to not belong and to be told my culture + heritage are of no value. So I applaud the welcome committee at @EarlsdonPrimary . You are making a difference and impact that will always stay with the new arrivals.

I've paid a high price due to honour+ shame. So I get where @NazShahBfd is coming from. Others may believe diversity is being upheld thro Salma Yaqoob but thro what means of equality + what outcome of diversity, esp pitting 2 BAME women against ea other when there shld be unity.

Two years ago, Salma Yaqoob ran against me in Bradford West, a campaign that drove me to feeling suicidal. Now she wants to run for West Midlands Metro Mayor. I think @UKLabour members have a right to know what happened in 2017. THREAD /1

I enjoyed my visit to @EarlsdonPrimary last week to learn about the great work pupils are doing as part of Commonwealth Connections project. They were great fun too. Mr Douglas Syakalima, Minister for Education, Zambia gave an excellent speech about the value of teachers.

If you don't have time or inclination to read the myriad reports highlighting institutional racism incl Macpherson report, Lammy Review, Windrush report then just read + take account of what this woman says because she has lived through the worst of it. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ

This is shocking. How can Britain be a force for good in the world with such revelations! Thanks @PreetKGillMP for continuing to highlight Johal"s cause.

The revelation that it was information passed from Britain to India that led to Johalโ€™s arrest is concerning. Boris Johnson was foreign secretary at the time. The sign-off on the transfer of such information could only have been given by him.

@seyiakiwowo Well said. Again it's a case of blame the victim. I guess Tony Blair has not bothered to find out what has happened to the windrush survivors. And he was the Labour party leader and prime minister.

@maryanncv8 of @WomensBudgetGrp + I researched impact of austerity on women 10 yrs ago + found there was disproportionate impact on lone parents, most of whom are women. So, shamefully, this is no surprise. We need the govt to act to save our children.
