It is totally unacceptable that police officers were assaulted by violent protesters who attempted to disrupt Immigration teams.  They have my full backing in taking the most robust action possible & I want to thank them for their swift response to the incidents today.

Compare how violent fascists are discussed by govt & in the media versus predominantly young black people demonstrating against state violence. We are seeing in real time how far right violence is minimised while those demonstrating for justice are immediately criminalised

It’s never as easy as blaming one politician, one police Commissioner, or changing one law. Policing in Britain originates from policing of its former colonies. No reform can make police less violent, less murderous or less patriarchal - this is what they do. Defund and abolish.

Young people at BLM demos are more likely to face arrest and police force than violent fascists. Fascist ideology is less of a threat to the state than those on the side of liberation & justice. Remember these moments if you still have any doubts about Britain’s racism.

For those of us struggling in solidarity with working class victims of racist state violence, we must be unequivocal in this message and not fall into the trap of having to exonerate people of suspected criminality, as politicians and others end up doing.

This is the MP of a man who’s still in hospital following violent police restraint earlier this week justifying the level of force that was used against him

"No apparent reason"? Nonsense. He was asked to move or produce his driving licence 17 times and given a 5 point warning before police had to act.

Sadly some friends were taken to Bibby this morning and some comrades arrested. Huge thanks to all who came out. Resisting as a community requires every one of us. Please support in future if you didn’t today. We’ll be supporting our arrested comrades for the rest of today.

In 1998 Christopher Alder died in police custody surrounded by Humberside officers. In 2011 his family discovered they'd been given the wrong body to bury: his remains were in a mortuary in Hull. Take one act of solidarity today - donate to this appeal

A timely reminder from @tayjordan1up We can commit to expressing deep and lasting solidarity with Black communities that are terrorised by police in the US, while not undermining the scale of death and violence perpetrated by the police in the UK.

Police violence is never simply the product of police themselves. It’s also excused & encouraged by others in institutional power & their collaborators who support violent consequences for anyone the police decide is guilty

On New Year’s Eve, people across the world head to prisons to make noise in solidarity with those incarcerated. We do the same at Brixton Prison from 6pm. However you go on to see in the new year, why not start things off with some solidarity?

Please be mindful of the impact that circulating traumatic and violent images of police violence might have on others. Please content note anything you share with “police violence” where you can. Do try and tag in groups who might be able to help.

It would be great if groups such as @ICFreeUK , @NExclusions , teachers’ unions, concerned parents, young people and others could join up in campaigning against the horrific proposal to introduce more state violence in schools. We’re happy to link people up and support.

Absolutely not! We don’t need cops in schools. As we’ve seen in the US, this just leads to harassment of Black and brown kids and further strengthens the school to prison pipeline. Schools need funding for school counsellors and real support for students. @ICFreeUK

The holidays can be an isolating time for those in prison, especially as we continue to deal with the pandemic. You can send a New Year’s message to someone inside and we will send them on throughout January along with @psn_ldn and @JENGbA link here:

We’re hearing more and more accounts of hoardes of @metpoliceuk officers stopping and searching lone men in their cars for supposed drug offences. Despite talking publicly about “policing by consent” during the pandemic, the Met is intent upon policing by force
