You don’t have to watch the video of #TyreNichols being beaten by police. You don’t have to subject yourself to that trauma. It should not require another video of a Black human being dehumanized for anyone to understand that police brutality is an urgent, devastating issue.

1. The screed written by Clarkson and the subsequent rationalisation dressed as an apology should horrify us all. You don't have to be "pro" Meghan or "woke" to recognise rabid, unhinged misogyny when you see it - and to reject it unequivocally.

Today would have been A. Sivanandan's 99th birthday 🎂 If you haven't already, be sure to check out this new website that includes an archive of Siva's thoughts, writings and speeches asivanandan.com



If you are looking for an example of the way minimisation is used as a tactic of abusive behaviour, look no further, this is a non-apology from someone who gets paid to contribute vile opinions to the #RacistBritishMedia despite their blatant #misogyny 👇🏽

Oh dear. I’ve rather put my foot in it. In a column I wrote about Meghan, I made a clumsy reference to a scene in Game of Thrones and this has gone down badly with a great many people. I’m horrified to have caused so much hurt and I shall be more careful in future.

Went to the library today where I saw an old lady sobbing whilst knitting. It broke my heart so I bought her a cup of tea and had a chat. She was so sad because she was so lonely. So please check in with others when you can.#KindnessMatters

Yes Wales! #peoplenotprofit

Wales is eliminating profit from their children's care system - because they have listened to children and 'it's the right thing to do'. This is a big and horizon shifting transformation for care...

So while I still hate to readjust my thinking, still hate to give up old ways of perceiving and conceptualizing, yet at some deeper level I have, to a considerable degree, come to realize that these painful reorganizations are what is known as learning.

25th Nov is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. We will be commemorating known deaths of UK women in the last year where a man has been alleged principal suspect. Starting at 8am, naming a woman every 5mins, we will still be naming women past 4pm.


Emotionally intelligent recruitment alert!

Interviewing for the first time in ages this week. We've started sharing the questions in advance. Hopefully reduces some of the pressure and we're much more interested in finding out about someone's expertise/experience/values than how good they are at interviews.

4/ @SBSisters says their clients are being "duped and misled", believing they are attending sessions for advice. One woman handed over her personal details to an official, unaware they worked for the Home Office. Another participant was followed down the street, told to leave.

#IstanbulConvention comes into force in UK today after years of campaigning @SBSisters @lawrsuk @ICChangeUK + many others I remain deeply concerned that the govt opted out of key rights for migrant women Migrant survivors need support Read my report➡️bit.ly/3NnRcBg


Here’s another two words for you @SuellaBraverman ‘hate speech’ - how utterly irresponsible the day after one of your far right acolytes fire bombed a detention centre…

Disgusted, absolutely disgusted to hear a Home Secretary deliberately use inflammatory language about vulnerable asylum seekers - 'scourge', 'invasion'. Here's a word for you @SuellaBraverman - SHAMEFUL.



As an adult child myself this thread, starting as it does (acknowledging the strengths we can develop) means a lot 👇🏽

Some powerful reminders if you were raised in a dysfunctional family. A THREAD 🧵:
