Happy Diwali 2025. From darkness emerges light. We made history by celebrating the first ever Diwali at the very historic mayor's parlour in Bath. Diversity, equality and inclusivity is our super strength.

“I’ll put it bluntly, Robert is wrong… it’s actually a very integrated place... Not the definition of a slum.” Andy Street, mayor of the West Midlands 2017-24 responds to Robert Jenrick's comments on Handsworth. #Newsnight

This journalist is literally inviting Jenrick to share his views, while being accused of shutting down the debate. Astonishing!
Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

Writing in the Guardian, Polly Toynbee calls out the rise of dangerous supremacism: “On the Robinson march in London, the great wooden crosses looked like armaments… The marchers’ “Christ is King” flags declared a radicalised ethno-supremacism.” https://t.co/uhD8kNHeKt
