A huge thank you to award winning photographer @misanharriman.bsky.social for helping me mark 20 years since I was first elected to Parliament. And the first Black woman to speak from the despatch box.

The Oscar-nominated documentarian still has faith in the age-old right of taking your beliefs to the street, despite a dystopian global crackdown on freedom of expression. He caught up with GQ before ...

“Black Lives Matter!”

The chant rang through London in 2020. Imarn Ayton was at the heart of it, and now, she’s on the cover of Big Issue.

Five years on, as protest faces increasing suppression, what does activism look like in the UK today?

📸 Featuring powerful photography by Misan Harriman.

This is the story of two covers! Can you guess which one I photographed around this time five years ago? It’s important for us to reflect on this and have a clear understanding of our values. We haven’t just reached a critical point; we’ve crossed the rubicon.

As the crowds dispersed, holocaust survivor and the oldest participant, Stephen Kapos, remained and listened intently; he stayed and stayed. He also read repeatedly which takes so much emotional strength.

The depth of humanity this man possesses serves as a blueprint for a new world.

Bless you!
