To those saying comments like "oh good more money for those who contribute nothing" - check ur facts! 40% of UC claimants are the working poor others are carers, have disabilities or illness, & some who don't have work, want it. A little more compassion & less judgement

I appreciate what I am going to say is going to be unpallatable for some but it needs to be said. It really doesn't matter how many stop and search charters you have, if fundamentally ethnic groups are still disproportionately (and wrongly) targeted by the process.

Long thread: The story and treatment of Marieha Hussain is one of the most alarming, ludicrous and unbelievable I’ve ever witnessed. It is a story of eye-wateringly blatant state racism, media complicity in that racism, police manipulation and cultural incompetence. And it is a

These new statistics are shocking, but we’re not surprised. They back up what so many young people have already told us. And it’s a burden that falls disproportionately on minoritised young people.

Today I have published new analysis of the strip searching of children - the first full picture of searches conducted by police from 2018 to 2023. It has found that in that time, one child was strip searched every 14 hours by police, on average. (1/5) https://t.co/nguEFmXCxK

YEF research found Stop and search reduces crime in the UK by just 5%, In 2022-23, stop and search was used by the police more than 500,000 times in England and Wales. Most searches found nothing, with 14% leading to an arrest and 3% finding a weapon What does that tell you?

🔍 How effective is stop and search at reducing violent crime? The YEF Toolkit shows stop and search reduces crime by 13% (global evidence), and by 5% (UK evidence). It also reviews racial disproportionality in the use of stop and search and the impact on Black and minority

It’s so important we don’t forget the children here. #Safeguarding, #care, #support & #education will all be key. So many children will be scared by what’s happening, especially Muslim children. We have to make them feel safe in communities.

I can't believe what I am seeing... Setting fire ro a hotel in order to 'drive immigrants out'! Don't you dare call it patriotism! It is more like the attempted murder of families and children! I hope justice is swift and served. #Rotherham

I too have been shocked by her and others. What I would say to anyone thinking of becoming keyboard warriors over this is to just remember these are human beings and these groups draw in people who are often isolated or don't feel listened to. Hurt people, hurt people

I've seen Sammy Woodhouse in police training sessions, speaking compellingly on the abuse she suffered. Sad to see that she's gone all in with Tommy Robinson's lot.

Make no mistake, this isn't free speech. They have used the tragic loss of lives to create a toxic incitement of hatred.

Despite being a highly experienced Vice President, many people won’t vote for Kamala Harris because “there’s just something I don’t like about her.” It doesn’t take a genius to work out what “it” is.

Domestic abuse spikes 26% when England plays, 38% if they lose, and 11% the day after, win or lose. Women's safety is at the mercy of men who can’t control themselves over a football game. Yet women are labelled emotional and crazy.
