Not surprised that Kemi Bad-Enoch hasn't commented on the blatant racism of her party donor. Remember, she was the one who insisted that racism doesn't exist. THIS is why she's adored by the Tory faithful.

Really interesting to listen to the life experiences of one of my favourite YA authors Alex Wheatle I highly recommend this podcast (and his books).

I got the chance to speak to Alex Wheatle about his memoir “Sufferah”. From Dickensian to revolutionary to transformative and redemptive. This is a moving conversation. @giannis_an34 @akashicbooks Alex Wheatle
