The Grenfell fire was 8 years ago killing over 70 people in a misguided and criminal attempt to save money on the back of poor people.
At that time there weren't sufficient empty flats for the displaced residents. Unbelievably the housing crisis is still worsening.

Today's announcement by the government is a sad instance of othering and even worse of scapegoating vulnerable people. The government worries us. We work hard to obtain rights for people that are otherwise marginalised as that helps integration and settlement more than othering.

Labour’s ‘new’ migration plans are a continuation of a long history of racist, xenophobic immigration policies.
This government says it's committed to race equality, but these plans are a form of modern day racism 🧵

We are shocked and saddened by the Supreme court decision re trans women, especially as the community wasn't permitted to speak. This decision will bring harm and risk to a small & vulnerable group, that has existed since humanity began. What happened to equality?

Two excellent letters in the Guardian today about the failure of the Sentencing Council to persevere, outlining why in fact there is two tier justice for ethnic minority groups who come off worse, and why the pre-sentence reports can bear results.

Listening to More or Less on @bbcradio4.bsky.social and the "25% disabled" headline looks very different. It is all in the questions asked of people. Only 10pc claim any disabled/sickness benefit. Yet the damage is done.

There have been trans men and women since humanity began. They're walking the streets with us and we wouldn't necessarily know. And it is not our business to point this out, just be pleased that this is possible and has little consequence for us.
