Today, Shropshire Councillors are voting on whether to give themselves a pay rise worth more than £40k, just weeks after declaring a financial emergency. Here is what I had to say on behalf of @unisontheunion members and #Shropshire residents ⬇️ https://t.co/BQeXnzYIOr

Today, people across the UK remember Stephen Lawrence, who at just 18 was murdered in an unprovoked racist attack. Stephen Lawrence Day is an opportunity for people to come together and honour Stephen’s life and legacy & stand up against discrimination. https://t.co/eIZLf9PMnz

One day, I truly hope we will see a world where no other parent has to endure the pain and suffering that Stephen’s did. Together, through collective action and unwavering commitment, we have the power to create that world.

I want to pay tribute to the tireless work of UNISON members across our service groups — from Local Government to Health, and Police, Probation, and CAFCASS. These are the people who dedicate themselves to protecting, empowering, and uplifting all our children.

His story is not just a memory — it’s a mandate. It compels us to challenge racism wherever it exists: in our workplaces, our institutions, and our communities.

The fear, the uncertainty, the strength it took to protect and nurture me in a world that had just shown how dangerous it could be for someone who looked like me. Today, I have the honour of serving onthe @unisontheunion National Executive Council, representing Black members.

His death and the subsequent failures of justice exposed deep institutional racism in British society. I often think about what it must have been like for my Mum, raising a Black boy in the shadow of that tragedy.

Today marks #SLD25 — a day of reflection of a young life stolen, and a call to action for justice, equality, and anti-racism. I was just a few weeks old when Stephen Lawrence was murdered in a racist attack in 25 years ago today.

Court of Appeal rules Ofsted inspector sacked for brushing water off child’s head was unfairly dismissed. In a unanimous judgment, the judges said it was “deeply regrettable” the “experienced inspector with an unblemished record on safeguarding issues” had been sacked
