I’m so excited to have in my hands early copies of my upcoming book, A Woman Like Me. I can’t wait for you all to read it when it comes out from @PenguinUKBooks on September 19th.

The Home Secretary must know that stop and search is completely ineffective, because Home Office research says so. It has even been labelled counter-productive. Just a Reform UK tribute act. Police could get wider stop and search powers in crime hotspots thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…


Nurses are far more trusted than any politician. They say that the new visa rules will block nurses from coming here and be disastrous for the NHS. Believe them. NHS could cease to function under Labour's new visa rules, say nurses theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/o…

The government is completely wrong to continue to support Israel while it is committing genocide. It is also in a small minority on this. So now it is resorting to police bans. Civil liberties groups criticise plan to give police powers to block demos theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/o…


A police officer is arrested after the Panorama programme aired. Met chief Mark Rowley says it could take more than a decade to clean out the Met. Yet he and politicians still deny that these are institutional failings. This itself is a cover-up. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/o…


The Met is institutionally corrupt, racist, homophobic and misogynistic. It cannot be a surprise, as it is has been detailed in a string of official public reports. But the Met and politicians are in denial. Like the RUC, the Met needs to be replaced. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/o…


The terrorist attack in Manchester was truly horrific. Murderous violence has no place in politics, in Manchester, or anywhere in this country or the rest of the world. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, all their loved ones and everyone affected.


Not enough to go after pensioners, poor and disabled people? Now young people suffering mental health issues are to be targeted too. Well, the war drive is not going to pay for itself. Labour will look again at cutting mental health benefits, says Starmer thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…


The right and far right have spent over a year demonising all foreigners about crime. It turns out that foreigners are far less likely to be convicted for jail terms. Foreigners are under-represented in British jails theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/o…


Good. It is a draconian policy which will also probably prove unworkable. Cabinet backlash against complicated and expensive ID scheme thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…


The Israeli armed forces have mounted an illegal assault on flotilla carrying aid to starving people in Gaza. Those illegally captured include British citizens. But the British government says and does nothing. Shameful.

🚨 BREAKING: The Global Sumud Flotilla is being intercepted by the Israeli navy. So close to Gaza, yet so far. The criminal entity will not allow a single vessel to reach the starving. Even mercy is blockaded. A state so terrified of compassion it blockades bread & medicine.…



Global support.

Global support boosts Caribbean’s #reparations fight The Caribbean’s Reparations Commission (CRC) says the reparatory justice movement has made major strides thanks to strategic global partnerships and alliances across the Americas, Africa & Europe. voice-online.co.uk/news/world-new…

Attacking Farage is better than standing aside, as Labour did in Clacton. But Labour must offer voters positive outcomes on living standards and public services. And stop copying him on immigration. Choice is between decency or division, says Starmer theguardian.com/politics/2025/…


Reform UK is a threat to the country and to Labour. But you can't fight it if you spend all your time echoing their lines, imitating their policies. Starmer wants rethink on international law to curb migration bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…


We now have government ministers publicly contradicting each other on racism, Keir Starmer contradicting himself and the Home Secretary saying Reform isn't racist and it is worse than that. All driven by fear of Reform UK, not principled anti-racism. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…


Because the peace plan is supported by Trump and Netanyahu, plus the Western governments who have armed Israel, plus Blair and the Arab dictatorships does not mean it is a good deal, or that it has worldwide support. Quite the opposite. bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd63…


The Prime minister is right is his assessment. But this should also mean that we stop carrying out Farage's immigration policies. Starmer decries Reform immigration plans as racist theguardian.com/politics/2025/…


The charities are right. It is a classic tactic of distraction, when a government endlessly demonises migrants because they are offering nothing positive to the population. Stop blaming migrants and tackle UK's real problems, charities say theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
