We are sleepwalking into a catastrophic global conflict.

Our political class shows no interest in de-escalation, diplomacy or restraint — and it is always other people's children who pay the price.

In a world of endless war, we need voices for lasting peace.

So wonderful to celebrate the launch of Water Baby by FKA Chioma Okereke 📚 tonight. It’s an immersive, gorgeously written coming of age tale set in Makoko, Nigeria’s floating slum. Congratulations Chioma! 🤩 #WaterBaby #BookLaunch

Years ago a prize like this did not allow me to give up. I love finding new talent and giving them a chance to shine. I believe there are unique voices out there that haven't been heard yet. If I can help even one person, I'll feel like I've made a difference. #literaryfiction

Police shoot and kill Ryan Gainer, a 15 year old child with autism and in a mental health crisis and then use racist stereotyping to justify their fatal use of force. theguardian.com/us-news/2024/m…

'Labour's opportunistic sanctimony is difficult to stomach. This is the definition of instrumentalisation. Racism is not a game. When a party exploits it for its own political advantage, it cheapens the accusation and deepens the cynicism.' theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

So The Labour Party you'll raise money on the back of the racism directed at Diane Abbott MP even though your party has constantly disparaged and undermined her . But you won't reinstate the whip. Just how cynical can you get? #reinstatethewhip theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

'Abbott apologised for her mistake immediately, but 10 months on is still suspended pending investigation. One wonders what more there is to investigate, beyond whether Black women are allowed a second chance & whether issues of MP security apply to them.' theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Diane Abbott (70) stood up FORTY-SIx times Speaker & Lindsay Hoyle ignores her! Adds insult to injury by letting others politicise racist attacks about her but silences her voice like she doesn’t matter! Rt Hon Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP has to go!
Black women are the most DISRESPECTED in Britain

*** THE VOICE CONDEMNS the disgraceful and outright racist comments from Frank Hester reported in the Guardian today, where he said that 'looking at Diane Abbott makes you ‘want to hate all black women'
